I spent my whole day getting my Lightning ready so I thought that I would post a few photos.




I also installed the rear rotors and the widened wheels with the F1 SuperCar tires. To dark to take a good photo of them but they do look sweet from the rear.

Thanks guys,
I will post more tomorrow. I'm just about finished polishing my trailer hitch and I am going to send it to the plater for chrome. Here is another little project I am working on. I am going to put Cal-Trak's on my Lightning but with one exception I'm making them out of stainless steel which I will polish.

Not bad, BaBolt, not bad at all...That "L" of yours just keeps getting better and better.

 

Just wondering who did you have chrome your rims? Their the best I seen. Thanks

 

Nice, that looks sweet. When i do my 20's i want to do that for sure. How low is yours setting in the front i like that. My brake dust still sucks, i get tons. I have 2000 miles now.

Mike

This is starting to worry me, i want 20's but man i don't want to clean the inside of the rim every other day. Any advice or ways to clear this up some?

I belive some have tried differnt pads and it helped. Personal I washed and waxed mine with Zanio and the dust comes right off with the water hose! This is with the stock rims im not sure about the Chrome ones?

 

Try to use your engine as a brake. When I go to town, the last stretch of road, I put it in third gear around 60, then it goes to second around 45 or so, and sometimes first around 25-30, but thats only if there's prey around. It sounds really cool, and it slows the truck down without touching the brakes.


Sure it may do some wear and tear on the poowertrain, but thats what the 100k mile warranty is for.

i had a bad problem with brake dust on my 97 f150, i bought raybestos guiet stop pads. i've noticed a major improvment in the brake dust issue. mike those rotors look to awsome on the truck.

 

Just a couple of additional photo taken today at a car show at work.


View of the rear with the F1 Supercars and cross drilled rotors.


The Lightning with my lowered Ranger. The Ranger is a 3/4 drop. It does not look it.
