I know this one will get there, give me time
And i had my buddy paint the valence along with my snugtop at his body shop, so the valence is professionally done

agreed fabian, if you need some help on the install holler.

 

how'd they go about smoothing & painting the valance?

 

Thanks!
Plans to go lower right now are non-existent.
I cant really go any lower than it is now.
It kills me to leave it that high, but i need the ground clearance due to the varying terrain/nature of my work. Lower on a static drop is out of the question. And the pics popping up here lately with everyones eibach drops and talks of springs leafs LCAs and sway bars get my heart pumping!

Talks of installing and adjustable suspension have come up plenty of times.
I have pretty much already measured my clearances in the rear for a custom triangulated four link. Problem there is that it cant have the axle travel too high up since i cant notch the bed. I have to have a solid flat floor requiring essentially what would be a stock floor body drop on the bed to gain clearance for everything to stay underneath. I have a mini that will probably be bagged before i touch the screw though.

Wont probably be doing anything for a while. I want to get the truck paid off first and do some real estate investment before i splurge on the either truck again. Thanks for the offer though, if i get a wild hair one long weekend you better be ready to travel at the drop of a dime
We stayed at the shop fri finishing up the exhaust till almost 8. A paint/body shop after hours gets lots of fun lol.

 

Love the truck Fabian. Do you have any closer pics of your grille emblem?

 

I sanded it down to 400 grit paper. and he sealed, primed, painted, and cleared it.

AnehiemDrew is stock bed, notched frame. You can do it to yours. :o

 

Yep i know, but if im baggin i want it to lay out completely on the frame. That means cutting the bed up. who knows i may just get bored one day and start ordering parts, i would just hate to fab up all the suspension and not lay out though.
Had the photoshop already opened... and i gotta say im liking the look.


Thanks, and the emblem is just a tailgate F150 emblem that i plastic welded some studs to so i could bolt it in the stock oval location.

 

Cool idea.

Yea man, do it!!

I do know what you mean about the whole wanting to lay out if you're gonna do the work. Kinda sucks because with the money i am putting into my static drop for my red truck i could just about bag it, but i need something 100% reliable for daily and long highway driving

 

hey man use the link that starts with [img] and ends with [/img], you used someof the html codes which is why they ddn't come out

 

Your in the same pickle i am. Mine is used daily, and HARD. Its essentially my work truck, you should see the bed lol. It also gets a twelve hour trip one way each summer.
I know air ride is reliable its just that one time a fitting leaks and your out about 70 miles from civilization that gets me.

 

I tryed and used the photobucket pics you said but it only shows the last pic i uploaded ?? how can i show all 6 pics Sorry for the mess

 

yea or a bag gives out. If you have a leak, you *could* limp back on the compressor, but if you have catastrophic failure its gonna have to be hauled on a roll back wrecker

 

Yeah man......... that is F'n sweet!!! i wish i had the money to bag mine.
Also how did you run the exhaust to both sides? any more pics of that

 

Cotter's truck rode great on the highway on the way to Dallas and back.
