New mods: Updated pics

[tyler1bo]

Haven't made any big changes recently, but did add a few little mods to the mix.

I installed a Rancho steering stabilizer, not extremely fond of the bracket/u-bolt methodhttp://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_0694.jpg
Got a Truxxx kit, turns out my installer never installed it..think he used Green keys instead. So I installed all this myself so I don't have to worry about what really goes on and what doesn't http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_0728.jpghttp://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_0727.jpg
Put the keys in and cranked about half way..however, didn't install the coil spacers or shock extenders (don't want rake again and it rides great without the extenders)

Came across these MGP Caliper covers and figured what the heck, look just the same as Brembo's without the $8,000 price tag haha. I'd recommend these if anyone was going for the Brembo look. http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_0590.jpg

Installed some Cognito UCA's about two days ago (worlds of difference!) handles much tighter and bumps seem much smoother, even with crank on keys. http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_0729.jpghttp://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_3529.jpg

and changed the chrome hood handles to the black OEM ones. Here are some pics I took yesterday. Hope you like them! http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_3524.jpghttp://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_3525.jpghttp://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k509/tyler1bo/IMG_3527.jpg

Nice !!!

[citiboy]

Awesome lookin' rig bro \m/

[Egan]

Lookin good!

[MARKCORE]

Love the look!!! :beerchug:

What is the offset on your wheels?

[tyler1bo]

Thanks guys! And they are -24 offset

[Humvee21]

Looks good man. I'm guessing you can't put the stock skid plate back on because of the rancho one?

[tyler1bo]

No I can. I just unbolted it, the drop bracket for it is still on though. Haha. Probably should remove that too.

[Hellz]

you shouldnt have had to use the bracket for the stablizer, unless your lift has something to do with it or some other thing im not aware of.

the factory bracket is all that should have been used. im not saying that you can't, or maybe that particular SS needed the bracket.

just saying yo...

[tyler1bo]

Well when I got the Rancho stabilizer, they give you the u-bolt kit and tell you to only use this. I guess I could have just run it in the stock weld bracket and factory hole with the factory bolts. But oh well, it doesn't touch or interfere with anything so no harm no foul haha.

[PaHumBug]

Niiooce!

[vetteSUT]

That thing looks bad ass!!!!!

[tyler1bo]

Thanks guys!

[cecil-1]

Love this truck.... One of my favorite on this site.


Ya ever think about painting the silver bumpers black?


VetteSUT.... You on Corvetteforum?
I think i remember seeing your sig pic on it.

[tyler1bo]

haha yes I've thought about it..I've been told several times to paint them white though.

[Lucky1]

Beautiful ! It's perfect !

[H2Much]

Nice. Every time I see more pics of your truck it keeps looking better and better, looks like you got bit by the mod-bug like a lot of the rest of us. Looking good! :iagree:

Where did you say you were again, TX? Was looking at the background, looking pretty green there.

[vetteSUT]

Yup, I'm on the vette forum as well!

[H2Much]

Nice. I am in UT and the whole state has been burning all summer with wildfires everywhere-no green here right now. Was in NC and SC last week, looked just like your pics with all of the green and trees, beautiful.

[Bimmer9938]

haha yes I've thought about it..I've been told several times to paint them white though.

I'm telling you, it will look hot!

[pdxrealtor]

Truck looks great!!

No way on the white, black would look better for sure, but silver doesnt look bad at all.

[Bimmer9938]

No way on the white, black would look better for sure, but silver doesnt look bad at all.


So it can look like an older H2? :notallthere:

[pdxrealtor]

We re talking the silver bumpers. To paint them white IMO would look weird with the black plastic in between the grill and bumper.

Who cares if it makes it look older or newer? I just painted mine silver to match the color scheme.

In his case, painting black would be the best choice for his color scheme.

[Bimmer9938]

Painting them white would complete the stormtrooper look and add to the wow factor of his vehicle.

[LoJac963]

I have to agree, although I LOVE the silver bumpers which the white/black color scheme they just look completely out of place. I'm not sure if white would look good but I would definitely love to see him give that a try!

[canadianH2]

Very nice, clean and sharp!

[ROUSHDEMON]

That does look pretty awesome! I love how clean it looks, great set up!

So for the Cognito UCA's..... are they really worth it? my rig drives a little loose, I wonder if these would help at all.

[tyler1bo]

Yes, the uca's are worth it, they correct your balljoint angle and the arms are much much more durable. Should cushion your bumps a little more and make your steering a little more responsive. And the balljoints are bolt-in, so you can swap out balljoints very easily.
