I posted a couple pictures showing some of you guys my set up, adter a lift /tire discussion the day before yesterday. I also tried posting this yesterday morning, and it kept telling me I wasn't logged in. I figured I would try again today.
It's an 01 EB, leather, air.. the works....Anyways, I'll start out by saying - In no way do I think I have a really nice rig, it's just something I work on when I'm not working on countless other things around the house, or at work. But a few of the mods that I have done since I got it bone stock this last fall are.
Wheels, tires, intake, TB spacer, tuner/programmer, gears 4.88's , lift, 9 inches over all. bumper, fogs in the grille, and my favorite - the raptor LED grill marking lights ; Also required on any rig wider than 80" while operating on the road.
The tires are 38" nitto mud grapplers, and the wheels are 20" rockstars with centercaps ... a lot of people remove them.
Don't mind the cheapo mudflaps, I changed them out yesterday for some OEM flaps from a 2002.
He'res a shot showing the raptor light mod
So, this bumper took me a few days of headbanging, and hair pulling.. but after about a week of all that, it was ready for powder coat.. I'm pretty happy with the job, since it's the first thing I've ever welded and had to make look pretty. I'm currently working on a rear bumper with the same style. here's the front.
Now , My rig is an 01' Meaning it had the newer style grille, well. when I got this truck, it had been wrecked and someone had zipties the grill and bumper back together. -Knowing I wanted to build a tube bumper, I got rid of the newer style grille for the flat bottom one that's on there now, it allowed me to butt up the bumper right to the bottom of the grill for a more seemless look.
Another shot of the LEDs, hooked up with the running lights.
and last but not least.. an overall shot. you can see the clearence pretty good here. ..
If any one has any questions about anything, let me know.. if you don't like it.. let me know.. feedback is always nice !
Ive pretty much had to do all the work on it myself with little to no help, and since there isnt anyone near me for miles that has another lifted expy, I figured I should try and make some new friends!
Look forward to talking with you all!
