anyway heres kinda a half-assed how to...more like progress pics i guess






^this was my substitute sledge hammer lol...weighed at least 10 pounds...prob more like 15-20 tho..






doneski
notice the new shocks

 

overall installing the hangers SUCKED.
i got the pass side one done in about 2 hours, and with all hand tools.
but for some reason the drivers side was just stubborn as hell, i ended up running up to the store and buying an air hammer, and even with that i had to spend about 30 mins on each rivet to pop them out. the air hammer really just chipped out chunks of the rivet until there was finally enough metal missing for them to pop out.
total time for the install was around 10-12 hours lol, but i do tend to take my time on stuff.

i really like the new look tho...now i just need to bring the front down a little bit

 

wanna help me out if i do hangers?

 

No.


lol yeah man idc.
do you have an air compressor big enough to run air tools for an hour or so?

 

30 gallon with compressor

 

word.
cus i got that air hammer not and it makes getting the stupid rivets out easier.
i really dont think i couldve done the drivers side without it.

 

looks great man

 

Nice look, man. Good job.

 

Whats keeping you from painting your wheels black? mblouir had a decent write up on it awhile back.. shouldn't cost more than $75

 

thanks guys

1. The pops, im still trying to convince him to let me sell these wheels once i get the L rims on.

2. I'm broke, and id rather try to save for getting these refinished.


ive always kinda wanted to paint the graphite colored areas of the rims black...

 

truck looks good the drop makes it look beautiful

*Off Topic*

I remember you said that you opened up your taillights right ?? is it easy to open up the OEMs ??

 

^thanks, i agree it does look beautiful lol.


no, the taillights werent that hard, but if you look closely at the pics you can see about a 7" crack in my passenger side tail cus i tried to pry the lense the wrong way.
(the part of the taillight thats closest to the front of the truck "slides" into a kind of groove, i didnt know that so i tried prying it straight up which cracked the lense lol

 

Truck is coming out sweet man!

 

Looks great!

 

Sweet!
