sweet score!!

 

Added some tint and tow mirrors to it today. Looks much better IMO

Rancho quik lift struts will be here monday to help with the rake(~2" lift) then some debadging, paint TLC then stay that way for a while. Once these tires wear out some 20s and 33s will go on. Trying hard not to go crazy on it like I did my old Dmax

 

let me know how you like those ranchos. I went with bilstein 5100 leveling struts + 1" spacer. i was curious about the ranchos.

 

I've never been a fan of the tow mirrors but the tint looks great. When is the 6L80E going in? I wish I would have just leveled mine on the stock rubber and waited until it wore out before throwing on the 33s like you're doing; smart man.

 

It will be 2.5" lift if you lose the cow catcher up front lol, very nice truck wish I woulda bought a vmax with sunroof.

 

I loved the rancho rs9000xl's on my Dmax and they work awesome on my dads F350. I should have them on Tuesday and Ill let you know. They sell just the front shock by itself but I wanted to go ahead and get the whole loaded strut assembly so I can get new springs as well. Its just nice that theyc ome with a 2" spacer too. I got all four for 400 shipped between being on sale and $100 mail in rebate.
Theyre functional for me, Ive got a 20' enclosed trailer and plan on getting another travel trailer. I also like having the convex mirror on the bottom for the blind spot and checking curbs, along with pulling my trailers being able to watch their tires. Then of course the much larger regular mirror.

Im not smart, just poor. Ill probably get new wheels/tires at the end of the summer. The 6L80e wont be going in til this time next year probably. Got too much other stuff to pay for right now. Before the trans swap Im going to throw a 3200 CircleD in it with a shift kit and servos to get me through for a while. I need to get a cam in this thing and delete the DOD crap so it doesnt kill the oild rings in this motor. Also need to epoxy my garage floor, build new cabinets, and install a tankles hot water heater, so Ive got a few things to do
The bambi killer was on teh truck when I bought so Im stuck with it for now since it would leave two holes in the bumper if I took it off.

I love the sunroof but I just found out yesterday that its leaking so I need to figure out WTF to do. Apparently you cant buy the seal separately but it seems you can adjust the track so hopefully that will make it seal better.

 

I just pretend there's nothing behind me when I tow we have a bunch with the tow mirrors at work and they drive me nuts; I'm just so used to flying around backwards with the mirror in the other placement.
That really sucks about the sunroof, no doubt.

 

Thats bad *** man. I spent just under 300 for my 5100s. I liked the ranchos on my old Z so they interest me. I'm hoping to buy a 6l80e beginning of next year. You can practice by helping me install mine haha. Since I decided not to go the diesel route I'm just going to mod my current truck lol.

 

ltz ? the nnbs interior is just way nicer but the creaks and **** suck . nice truck cody .

 

I cant stand not being able to see around my loads and Im a bit nervous about trailer tires. I had one of our lowboy trailers loaded down with two four wheelers and my bronco going down the interstate when one of the tires blew and damn near lost it. So I watch my trailer tires like a hawk and having the convex mirror really helps.
Let me know when youre ready, I should have my garage better setup by then. Id be willing to lend a hand for sure.
