Working on my girls truck(lots of pics)

[Cruizer]

I had no idea how this truck started off. Lookin' through your build thread, you've done some great work. Really like the direction you went with it.

Wow if thats all the damage then you got lucky!

Very lucky, I think the light bar took most of the impact, I should have grabbed a picture before but it pulled the mounting screws out of the aluminum end pieces and pushed the bar through the bumper
I could have easily drilled and tapped the end pieces for a larger screw but it's not really worth the effort for me to do haha

Thanks! It's been a long going budget build, her and I both just finished our engineering degrees at Penn State and have started our careers so there are bigger things to come for it

I'm excited to get the lights finished up and put in next weekend now!

Hard to believe that its the same truck! Very nice job man!

 

[Lhemi]

Nice job! Really!

HIDs are in
I'm frustrated haha
High beams are switched so I need to change a pin in the harness
Drivers side cutoff is high and the adjuster is maxed out so I think I need to open it up again
Didn't get to wire the LEDs since it was raining when I went to put the in
Hopefully get some more pictures tomorrow

Damn, sucks the light bar got ******. headlights look good though

 

[Stangshcky12]

Light bar will be back on in a few weeks, it still works great just need to put a new lense in and replace the end caps once they get here, might have $40 or so into fixing it
I have another brand new one anyway haha

Not really any better but some daytime pictures





Should have turned in my dad's LED behind his grille but forgot I put them in haha

Holy Crap!
I have essentially the same basic truck with the exception of a hemi, and after reading all of this, im so completely sold on the black with the dark grey. I've been super up in the air with it but this has really cleared everything up. This rig is absolutely stunning and has convinced me to do the same!

What tires are on it it you main pic?

 

[Stangshcky12]

In my signature pic they are 315/70/17 courser AT
I swear this truck is like a bigger girl, with the right camera angles she looks great but I'm not completely happy
Thuren progressive springs and shackles are on the to do list, I think another inch in the front and rear it'll sit perfect and my 5'4" girlfriend can still get in and out without steps

 

[SFD213]

How much lift does it have already?

 

[Stangshcky12]

How much lift does it have already?

Just 2" in the front

 

[SFD213]

Yeah ive seen some 2" levels and decided to do 3" carli to get the most from just a little

 

[Stangshcky12]

I just put progressive springs on my cummins last night and got about 2.75" of lift
My truck sits .25" taller to the fender then hers and my tires are just a bit smaller

 

[SFD213]

Yeah im following both trucks now. I like how you mod and try different things and still keep it clean and not too ******. Keep it up

Good lookin truck!
