Default Teaser pic, almost done!

I've been working on the truck for a while now, and I'm getting down to the end, the pile of new parts is getting smaller and the pile of old parts is getting bigger! I installed a Rough Country lift kit, Moto Metal 951 20x10's with Nitto Mud Grapplers 35x12.50. I put on a volant CAI, a Westin Bull Bar, KC Dayliters(complete with smiley face covers), and a magnaflow side exit exhaust. I still have the airbags, 4 Hella 500's(mount behind the grill), and Kodiak Sidewinder side steps to install.

I was trying to bleed the brakes last night and all the bleeders were frozen. So I'm gonna to have to get them off and replace them so I can get any air out of the system(ABS pulsating during low speed brake application). I still need to pass NJ inspection too, so if anyone knows a semi-leniant inspection station, PM me.

HAHA! It's only to throw the cops off!

Thanks for all the good words

I like the way the exhaust sounds, I'll try to record it on Saturday if I can get the wife's camera for a few minutes. It isn't as loud as the Gibson Super Truck kit I had on there before, but it sounds real deep and isn't as droning in the cab

My Silverado did the same thing and it had an issue where it wouldn't even stop you. It was a recall and covered, but going in for any kind of work is a nuisance and i didn't like ABS anyways as it kicked in premature all the time. So, I pulled the fuse. Now, i know NJ is as tough as NY, but I passed NY OBD-II inspection from a local tire joint. ABS is an option you don't need it to pass. The conflict of interest is with the insurance company which DMV doesn't control. They will fail you if your engine light is on, which isn't the case. If you pull the fuse the light will appear but your pulsating will be gone. You can bleed sirectly from the ABS solonoid and are suppose to if that's where the air is. It's gonna stay at the highest point unless you bleed it 1000x's....

Nice truck. gotta get rid of those smileys. i leave mine uncovered all the time. it's great to throw them on going down the highway when it's pitch dark out. No need to send the wife over the hood to peel the covers off....lol

Great Looking truck,I always loved the smiley face KC covers,you can get them in black like the ones on my Jeep in this picture....


Also I ended up going with these for the fact I don't have to get out of the Jeep and take off the covers to use my lights....
