but to be able to pull it out on sunday a big thanks goes out to Shawn AKA  klintok. he came by saturday and stayed till the build was back on the road.. he also looked up the FSM for the 02 for some torque specs. so i know that when i got to unbolt anything.... it'll be a PITA! hahaha

so because of the rake, on tuesday before work, i went to autozone and got some U bolts... that night after work... i removed two extra leafs on both sides and installed 3in steel drop blocks (stolen from the 97)

sorry for the cell pic, but i think it looks a hell of a lot better without the extreme rake.

MODS: Short air intake, clear corners, tail lights, bed cover, rims, air dam grill, cut springs up front and DJM rear hangers w/ 3in steel drop blocks with 2 leafs deleted. Cherry Bomb Turbo muffler dumped b4 axle. pioneer premiere headunit. and the bench seat was taken out for two bucket seats, 5% tint all around and over factory

and i went over budget.... but i don't think it was to bad...

$92.79 over... but at least i'm not plannin on spendin a lot more money on it lol  and with only owning the truck 2 weeks to the day!!

i might install a lil system later on next year... but for now i gotta work on the 97

 

is that a 4 banger?

 

bet your *** it is haha, little man wanna be like me



oh and mike, this is a good pic to show off

.yes.

 

thanks bat hahaha.

my lil red truck is pretty much exactly like bats.... but i'm the 3rd owner (that i know of) and mines an 02... so newer dash style! lol

 

Dang Mike, I loved the white truck! I didn't even know it got toasted. The new one is looking good and I have no doubt it will be a SHO truck soon, lol.

 

haha the white truck just got some cosmetic damage.

it'll be back.... better than ever.... with ALOT more done.

 

lookin good sho....fo sho....least you got some wheels now....that rake was pretty bad is the leafs on a dak below the axle already?

 

I'm not a fan of lowered so whatever, but the look of the truck other than that is good.

 

Looks sweet with the rake taken care of.
