Dzimm Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 How are you liking those rubber engine mounts? I just put a set in mine but won't have a chance to test them for a couple months yet. Nice build by the way. Very clean truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 They are a lot better than the poly mounts that I've had, the vibrations have calmed down since driving it over 1k miles But still very vibey, at start up they'll be very strong, then calm down a bit, and depending where your idle is, it'll vibrate hard again... It's something to get used to, when in motion barely any vibes, mainly at idle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasent keen on the nates do to them poking out from under the rocker about an inch further on one end than the otherNot yet, I should have them on by the end of the week, I was anal about that at first but I'd have to build my own and I don't have the welding skills to do so. I seen them on outlaws (member here) rig and I fell in love, I've never seen a set of sliders in real life until his and I wanted them so bad! I know I'm not going to worry about the sticking out part, id actually prefer it now since I daily drive my truck and just the other day someone slammed their door into my truck at the mall and chipped a bit of paint, so I know those sliders will come in handy to put a dent/damage the next persons car if they do that again...

Newton Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 do they bolt on securely?...are the strong enough for you to stand on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 do they bolt on securely?...are the strong enough for you to stand on? Yes, each slider is being held by 12 self tapping bolts and 3 clamp style pressing on the pinch seam, I can stand on them, I'm 240 pounds and no problems I can bounce/jump on them and the whole truck moves with every jump...

88whitemanche Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 This weekend was a productive weekend I finally got the metric ton military wrapped spring installed and the rear is slightly taller than the front, might have to throw in my 4.5" coils in to see it evens out with the rear... Also installed my speedometer cable crown part # 53005084 which is 94" long, feels great to know how fast am I going again and finally keep track of my gas mileage... Ah I almost forgot I had to replace the power steering pressure line and I had to order through rockauto.com because no one local sells them or even had in stock to order, I may pick up another one just to have as a spare... Hopefully during the week I'll be able to install The boostwerks transfer case linkage and the front driveshaft Going to make an appt to drop it off to finally get regeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88whitemanche Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Picked up the truck from the gear shop, what a difference! Going through the gears almost simultaneously and doesn't feel like a slug, shop was successful in installing the Volvo locker just gotta get my boostwerks linkage installed with my driveshaft and do the break-in miles Also have to get used to the auto locker, I didnt realize how many "tight" turns I made throughout my daily driving that my tires chirp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I did the auto locker test...literally had to reinstall them myself Pics Incorrect placement of springs Correct way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Well it's been a busy couple weeks, Installed bilsteins all around Installed the re2705 shackles to lift the back an inch Installed 5.5" re coils Installed the cavfab 3-link Still have to cut out the lower control arm mounts But I love the stance, it does squat in the rear compared to the front need to put back the winch bumper but I've already loaded it with 500 pounds of furniture and the general springs metric ton springs do their job of not squatting too much...
