Silver00LT's Ultimate Thread
 

I can not think of a name for her and I've had her over two months now. I have not really been that active on this forum as this is a DD and not a project. I do enjoy working on her though from time to time. Right now I have the trailer project...then finish tearing down my first project car for scrap. So this is going to be my main thread and I'll have everything coming off of here.

I figure two choices.......fabtech lift and a 8.5 in the rear with big cleat mudders on the rear OR Solid Front Axle swap... Still a DD, just one with ATTITUDE.!

hey man where in alabama are you from im in decatur?

To be honest I've looked into a 4x4 parts...but a 2wd tackling some trails that 4x4s go here is kind of IDK stating a point. :)

I'm in Ranburne, AL. I'm quite a few hours away from you. :) You are north alabama right. Right against the TN border correct.

Update
 

Well I received my new headlights and turn signals in the mail. Got them installed along with getting two new tires installed on my truck and had ALL TIRES BLACK WALL OUT.

BLACK WALL FTW!!! :icon_bike:

black walls are ftw

I still wish I had my drill attachment to get rid of that pinstripe! It's like rubber about 4" in diameter and it took off stickers and anything without touching the paint.

Left to get done without paying money is:
Removing badges except the sides
Pinstripe

Exterior plans:
Front brush guard w/ lights
maybe cowl hood

took me forever to remove my pinstripe. fingernails and patients can take care of the pinstripe

Update 9/24
 

Did the following:
Painted all four calipers red
Replaced serp. belt
Replaced wheel stud that firestone crossthreaded
Flushed brake system with Prestone Dot 3 fluid...nothing special because have no brake upgrades
