Congrats
You suck cause you didnt call me back
Damn you paint fast and well.. Bumper looks great....

 

Awesome truck man! I've said it over and over, but I really admire you for ging out on a limb and doing things to these new body style trucks that others wouldn't dream of doing.

Looks great and keep up the good work!

 

Looks great but forget about passenger side airbag? bumper looks just a shade off

 

the passenger airbag comes out the top of the dash not the front where the screen is

 

OIC my bad

 

the paint... that's hilarious. I had a gallon of the arizona beige that wasn't matched to my VIN because I was going to spray my other truck with it. Since I couldn't get to the paint shop in time to get the VIN matched color, I just used what I had. I could tell it was off, and so could one of my friends, but no one else. that's weird that you could pick up on it in the picture. I'm just waiting for a slow day to pull it off and lay some good stuff on it.

 

dude our trucks are so alike...... tiny mirrors..... mismatched front bumpers

 

Dribone truck is looking AWESOME. I havent decided if i like your new front end better then the last one. I really liked the last one you had.
I like the pass side monitor, have contemplated doing the same thing on mine with a ten incher i have laying around. There is a massive amount of wasted space back there.
I want my cover hinged though, so that it opens up and the screen is under it for protection/theif deterence and stealth looks. How is the reflection off the windshield on it?

Wow, i really should stop on the mobile video. I already have two in the truck and I have three seven inchers and the ten incher just sitting here. lol


And you gotta pm me some pics of the modded hood setup.


EZY your truck looks 100 percent better.
Love the new look.

I only wish i had the time/money to sink into my suspension

 

Styx, we're the he-man-stock-mirror-haters club presidents

Fabian,Thanks a lot man, theres almost no glare on the monitor at all. I've still got 3 6" monitors here to put somewhere, just haven't decided yet.

 

ya wen did you get the new roll pan. it looks good

 

pulled that one together in a couple hours, the bumper made the *** end look huge... my stockpile of old parts has grown into a considerable heap.

 

Much better roll pan. The small mirrors actually look right on your truck now that it's bagged. I'm halfway considering holding off on purchasing a viper later this year to go ahead and bag my 04. Figured if I'm going to go ahead and give it a custom paint job, might as well not half *** and bag at the same time.

Did I read right that you had to modify your DJM 3.5 a-arms to work with the airride setup? Did you create a thread with pictures of the modification anywhere to give me a heads up?

 

wow, you pick up on everything... i think i mentioned something in passing about the lower control arms. It's a real toss up when it comes to that. It was either modify the strut tower or modify the LCA. I left the LCA's as they were and made up a spacer identical to a leveling kit spacer, only 3-3/4" tall, which allowed my ride height to be the same as when it was a stock strut & 3.5" drop arms, and when it's aired out the tires are touching the plastic inner fender. there again, it really depends on your overall tire diameter. you'll just have to do a lot of math, which might require you to make a taller spacer or shorter one. I'll have to get some pics, I've been getting a couple emails about that lately.


I have to figure out a mount for the tag so it's more visible. or so the nice policeman told me this morning when he pulled me over...

 

I was wondering how you were mounting your rear tag. I personally like the setup where there is a vacuum actuated assisted scissor lift between the bed and the cab. When the engine is running it slides up, when engine is off it slides down to become hidden.

Mine will just be built into the roll-pan using an old cutlass(??) flip down since I need it to cover up my hidden hitch.
