yeah... I'm probably gonna put spacers in the back like I was before.. lol


I went to the 4wheelparts shop today and one of the mechanics said that twisting the stock keys is a bad idea, and I should get new ones. Is it really a bad idea, or was he just trying to make a sale?


I moved it from general discussion over here, didn't know how to delete it though lol

Well your link is coming up with "item has been removed or no longer available" and as far as the keys I am going to say that he was just trying to make a sale because there are many people on here that have done the same thing with the stock keys and have had 0 problems.

yeah they would be a good spacer... similar to mine

 

[JDMitchell]

Those are exactly the ones I got (same seller) and they are very good quality. They actually lifted my expy 2.25 inches.

 

[NC-Expy]

Just ordered them.

I also ordered this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200580539613&viewitem=#ht_2674wt_939

that's just the lower one but I got the upper one too.

That grill will look sweet. Make sure you take some before and after shots, and post them up when the time comes. My wife wants me to put a new grill up front, but she wants one that looks like the Raptor. I wonder if anyone will make something like that eventually for the older model F150's and Expy's. Hmmmmm... Think I'll start a thread on that.

 

[panda24619]

Like I said before. Get those spacers and just crank your keys. The guy was trying to make a sale. And I'm going to get those spacers on my next check hopefully. got otter things I'm doom to her at the moment so I'll post those once im done. O and nice grill. how much was the grill not the bumper one? Cause I want one but they are pricey and having a 98 it's harder to find them.

 

[NC-Expy]

Yeah I saw your other post Lane, that would be pretty sweet!

And for 65 bucks I couldn't really complain about those spacers.

The upper grille was 141 bucks, free shipping and the bottom one was 37 bucks free shipping (same seller)

Today I'm going to go to autozone and purchase a superchips programmer.

 

[jacks3am]

your goin all out thats awesome

 

[walnuts4x4]

ahhh... superchips... I like my edge and did tons of research before I ordered and found the edge to be the best... a little more cash but well worth it... nice choice on the grills I have a similar set that I am gonna bedline this spring when I go the tan too....

 

[dgray69]

i dropped one of mine out the other day at work well flexing the truck off the snowbank, spring and spacer came out, grrrr

 

[panda24619]

Panda where'd you get your truck horn? How does it sound?

 

[panda24619]

Panda where'd you get your truck horn? How does it sound?

orieley's and i got another horn thats a higher tone. sounds kinda funny, but both horns i can hear over loud music on the freeway. so they are loud. they echo in tunnels and against houses.

http://www.wolo-mfg.com/400-big.jpg
thats the smaller horn. on their site it says $42.39
http://www.wolo-mfg.com/417-big.jpg
thats the truck. on their site it say $52.99
i paid less than $50 for 2 sets of truck horns, since my first set got damaged from being under hood and water and the for the higher tone set. and that was regular price at orieley's. i put them behind the grill. their light enough to be mounted on the plastic/rubber stuff thats on front/side of the radiator. if i ever take off my grill i post pics. but you cant even see them since its dark in there. and dont paint them black. cause its not covered if they break then.

That black billet looks sweet. Wonder how it will hold up to rock chips

If I hadnt scored mine for $35 shipped, I would have definately gone with the black one.

 

[panda24619]

i want a black one. but they are always so pricey. if any ever finds one for cheap for the 97-98 lemme know. and i mean under 100 shipped. chrome or black dont matter. i can always paint it. haha

 

[NC-Expy]

Okay... so I ended up getting the Edge programmer because it was a hundred bucks more expensive, added up to 10 HP more than the Superchips, and it was mountable... So I was like screw it, and swiped my debit card... lol. Should be installed tomorrow.

 

[walnuts4x4]

ata boy... you won't regret it one bit at all.... I love mine
