'91 Before & Still Aftering

2196667_3_full.jpg




Here's my '91. The only changes I've made for now is the airbox mod. My Jet chip apparently melted onto my ECM, so I'll have to do without for now. As well, I'm ditching the tires soon for something meatier, and tinting the windows (after I finish my basement!).


(*****Note: the AFTER photo is a few posts down)

a good before photo

that picture really reminds me of my truck, 5 years ago when I bought it. I even had the running boards. That would be my first fix, if I were you...ditch the running boards. Good luck with the truck...and the basement.

Finally, the AFTER :D


This is with the 3 in lift, 31's on Eagle 058's, window tint, CB, miscellaneous touch ups, and the removal of the running boards.

My thanks to all of you on the boards who make all this stuff go sooooo much easier!!!
 






Lookin good Tom, Looks like you did a good job gettin the bumpers lined up. keep it up:cool:
 






Oh, those bumpers! Glad I had a friend with an angle grinder - i must have hacked off a good few inches on the fronts (it's still a little off), and for the back, I decided to notch out the frame and just paint the portion showing beneath the bumper black. I swear I must've abused the search button on the site for about 6 days straight!

I'll post a final pic once I acquire the guard, caps and other goodies :D

Again, thanks for the help Todd!
BTW, how's the bracket?
 






Havent ordered it yet Tom ,you know how busy things get, but now that you remind me Ill print your email and call tommorow .Thanks again
