At the end of the day it's what makes YOU happy. Who cares what everyone else says, you do it for yourself because your the one who paid for it. Everyone has different style and taste.

That is right & mine seems to be a low percentage of people who like what I do.

Yea man do you, if at the end of the day you turn around and look at your truck and say "damn that thing is nice looking" then that is all that matters. Don't let people change what you want to do to your truck/car, it's your money and investment. Hell if people let others judge them so much to were they didn't do their own style in trucks no one would lift 2wd "since it's pointless and dumb" scree that lifted 2wd are awesome!

Keep updating when all those stickers are on

OK finished the front suspension mods - & will cost more that usual to get the alignment done.

Not yet, im thinking of making at least new inner plates & round out the corners of the outer plates.

I just don't like the look.


Thinking, thinking & thinking.

Made another new Gif

 

[HeavyD]

So I decided to make all new camber plates, I just don't want to see such a "hack" job on my truck & yes I know I did the hack job.
The plate is cheap, drill bit not so much.

I figure making it look good is worth spending money, I will just call the plates I made so far test plates.

Will also have a template incase others want to do the same.

Got my tailgate assist in the mail (courier) today.

& installed

 

[EWC88]

Been meaning to get one of those...I'm slacking

 

[HeavyD]

Picked up some aluminum bed rails, need cleaning & polishing, but only paid $15 (that's like $3usd LOL)

 

[HeavyD]

Bought new battery terminals (clamps)

 

[EWC88]

Great deal! Funny you showed new battery terminals I just had a thread up talking about a issue that they were recommended lol

The problem with my terminals was they just corroded up within a few days of washing.

& then looked at Canadian Tire & had these.

Tried to install tonight, one broke when tightening, will go back & exchange.

Wires are barely long enough - pos & neg.

On your next setup for the Camber plates, think about getting a gusset between the plates (on top or back or both...). Will add rigidity to the new setup providing for a better road feel and also better safety.

 

[xb1230]

BTW I also found my wires are barely long enough to do he Job.

I'm looking at swapping them for longer leads and newer wires which would be less brittle and free of corrosion. Battery Experts have some good quality ground wire at a very affordable price. I have not yet found the RED positive lead wire I want o use to replace the main lead, but I have seen something that looks good at my local Auto parts Plus store.

The Auto Parts Plus store also offers some good quality terminals (or at least they look and feel decent enough). Might be a bit more durable than the CT or Princess Auto stuff.

Just saying

 

[HeavyD]

I have a Canada Battery around me, they will make cables & ends for almost anything, just didn't like the terminals.

Will think about gussets.
