[joel123]

[89Comanche4x4]

Trucks looking good dude! If you haven't solved your tires eating your fenders problem yet bolt a couple hockey pucks in the coils, they fit right in and there's already a hole on the bottom of the coil spring pad on the axle :thumbsup:

I also forgot to take better pics of the whole door removal but I'll PM you the writeup link I followed and I have saved on my laptop!

 

Thanks! gonna have some new wheeling pics up in a second! i plan on doing the 97 swap some day so I'm kind of at the point where i say i don't care about the fenders haha! i think ill do some trimming :brows:

 

and yeah if you could pm that it would be awesome :cheers:

 

joel123 - yep my truck takes all my money ahah :wrench:

[shawn]

ya , those are great pics! your truck has a nice stance now. what is the front lift height and where are the pics taken? it really looks like around here.

[MancheKid86]

What shock mounts did you use on the rear?

I need some :shake:

[89Comanche4x4]

Yeah finish that thing up!! We would have to meet somewhere in the middle ish... Haha do you even go to Harrison ? :P

 

Thanks a lot. The rear is 6ish inches and the front is 4.5 but my drivers side spring is saggggggyy so I wanna pick up some 5.5 inch lift coils,

 

The pictures are from mission bc stave lake :P

 

And for the shock mounts I made my own they are basically just a a piece of 2" by 2" flat bar that I drilled a hole through And grinded the one end to form the shape of the axle (rounded) I an take a pic if you want. Super easy took like 10 mins hAha :banana:

[MancheKid86]

I keep forgetting! I'm going out to my truck right now and snapping a few for yah :cheers:

here's the driver door upper hinge, you need to wiz wheel off the lower piece that extends out next to the torx bolt and then bend down the lip so you can slide off the piece you just cut, after you do that i used a high lift jack and a 2x4 under the bottom of the door to get the door off I just filed down the lower pin a little so it makes putting the door on much easier

[89Comanche4x4]

thanks dude!! ill have to get going on that as soon as i can

 

haha i like the april fools joke guys you got me for a sec

[89Comanche4x4]

Pretty cool truck. Get some lighting, looks like you do a lot of night wheeling.

 

Ever going to paint it?

Thanks! i have more plans for it but it will have to wait a bit, keeping my eye out for a 87+ front end for a decent price and ill eventually get that on then paint it one colour. for now i don't mind the primer because i can take it in some rreally tight places and get no scratches!

 

as for lighting i really do need some, I'm going to put some on the bumper and i have a liberty light bar for the roof, just have to get around to putting it on! ill take a pic soon.
