Future plans people. Not the fastest progress but the next setup should be crazy. Hang onto your kidneys.

I love where this is going.

[aeion]

Me too. It's going to require Pathfinder/4wd flares but it should work out well.

I'd send you mine I cut them up haha

Not quite that bad haha. There's no way that a 2wd hardbody would ever hold those without crazy mods. However, that's not terribly far off.

I'd send you mine I cut them up haha

I could still work with them.

I know if I ever step up to the 15x10 for the rear there -44 so much work is gonna have to happen to fit em haha

[aeion]

Damn haha. You'll have to get pretty creative.

agreed.

they are all thats missing on your truck

[aeion]

Haha thanks guys. I totally agree about the wheels. The only reason that I have these is because I needed something other than stock wheels to stop the rubbing. Work is looking up so keep an eye out for some updates soon.

Alright folks here's a quick update on the small stuff that I've been doing to the truck.

Firstly, I modded the intake a little by taking off the top of the airbox and the snorkel leaving only the filter and the bottom of the airbox, attached to each other via wingnuts. This provides a much better sound and a very surprising increase in torque.

I repainted my horns in white. Much better than they were.

The time came that the Pinto shocks needed replacing. They were absolutely beyond blown and the big rubber bump stop was torn in half on one of the shocks. I ended up doing even more research and found out that 4wd front Hardbody shocks actually compress more than the 2wd ones. Then did more research at work and found out that the KYB GR-2 models compress shorter than the Monroe OESpectrum shocks that we also offer. I ended up getting the GR-2's and installed them one night with good friends and beer. The ride is SO much better. No more bounciness and quite a bit stiffer.

I bought an Energy Suspension poly leaf spring bushing kit a couple weeks ago and if all goes well those will be installed this weekend. This should be a major improvement as my current ones are stock, rubber, and falling apart enough to cause some rear alignment issues for me. Plus they squeak like crazy and that's not cool.

The other day my battery was dead when I tried to go to lunch. That was annoying because I had to pay money for a new one. Always lame.

Future plans before I go ahead on the wheels include new ball joints, tie rods, sway links, and possibly spindles.

Stay tuned.

Yeah there is such a noticeable feel in throttle response just from taking the cover off the intake! An dis so much louder haha

[aeion]

Throwback something. I need to go see this thing again.
