weathermakers 2011 sport build thread
the truck is a 2011 sport 4x4 4L with 5spd tranny, 3.73 gears open. flowmaster delta 40, almost a zero option truck, manual locks, roll up windows, fixed steering wheel, base radio, vinyl floor. just the way i like it, less to go wrong. Its a pickup mot a Bentley. I did get a sliding window though, gotta through coffee cups somewhere.
here is the truck on day one at the dealership with a fresh wax! http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6d091b12.jpg one of the first mods would be a torsion lift and AAL giving me about 2.5+ inches of lift. http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2a41c8ab.png http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps92cbfdc0.png it handled much stiffer after this and felt like i was driving a shopping cart... that was fixed by removing the sway bar, handled bumps much better. big improvement at the expense of some body roll, but nothing i would consider dangerous or even uncomfortable. new tire to fill that open space! 265 75 16" GY duratracs, very good tire. mud snow anything. http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps14a7f594.jpg http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps501ccce9.jpg also new backrack, rhino liner and leds http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7df33620.jpg ---------- next new rims were needed to take care of some of the rubbing at full turn. these are 16x8 procomp extreme alloys 1069 with about a half inch off set. brings the tires just uot past the fenders. got the exact look i was going for. I also had to buy new lugs to fit the wheels http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...pse229c229.jpg there is also 5 KCs 100w lights on the back, the two outers are dummies. i get plenty of light from the three. i got them free from a friend. sanded and painted them. im not a fan of chrome, or fake chrome. whatever it was... the lights were made on a bar i made to bolt to the back rack, 2 lengths of angle bar welded together, very simple http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5d27aa8.jpg fresh paint & all cleaned up http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44e82a6a.png i have since cleaned up the wiring http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...pscc03cd0c.jpg ---------- STX grille swap + tinted corners & tails those 2 mods cost a total of 12$ only did 3 light coats of VHT on my lights, didnt want them blacked out, just tinted. for the clear i used krylon plastic outdoor paint. also about 3 coats. sand between each coat of vht and clear. mine turned out great, just as smooth as they were stock. http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...psd5e8eb08.jpg http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...psd3e102bd.jpg http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps94389a52.jpg ---------- messing around in some puddles haha [IMG]http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps89af31ee.gif[/IMG] |
