I wanna be like Boomin (my Worklog)

Ok so ive started the transformation, From little 2wd, to Big 2wd. :thumbsup: Got my Bodylift and gears here friday, did the TT, and the Body Lift today. Tommorow the rear axle is coming out, and finish up all the little things left to do for the Body Lift. Chris(Boomin) has been a BIG help in this, ive asked him lots of Questions, and while slow, he always answers them, most the time i bug him hes at work so i understand his slow response. Thanks Chris, doubt i woulda got another explorer if it wasnt for yours. My wheels should be here Monday, than ill go get the tires mounted. Also im waiting for my Spindles to be delivered. So till than the tires cant go on. My tire of Choice was 37x12.50 Goodyear MT/R. I chose this tire mainly cause the Goodyear store is right down the road, i like having road hazzard so i can just do down there and get them to pull and plug a nail hole or w/e. Also they have 6 months no payments, that way i can slowly pay off these expensive tires. If it wasnt for that ide be rolling on some Swampers.

Also the truck i was gunna be using to pick my tires up with is no more, My best friend rolled his truck last night. Somebody cut him off, and he slammed on brakes and hit a curve and rolled it. It had been raining so the roads were wet. :( Luckily he is alive with only a minor cut on his leg

Heres some pics from last night and today, All i did last night was clean the garage up, and get the truck in there.

dang, looks sweet! no offense to your old ex (may it rip) but i like this one better ;)
 






I got some good quality pics today, ima upload,resize and post them in a "Registry" thread.

I think ive decided to not lift it any more. I think im just gunna work on the other stuff, i want to get a couple screens and dvd inside, and i wanna get duals.

I have a little bit of rubbing problem when i hit a big pot hole and the tire is turned just the right way, but nothing a little more trimming cant fix.

I have 115 miles on it so far, and still loving it.

And bout my old x, yes this one is much Nicer, the Old one i went more offroad, blacked everything out, herced the rockers, this one im going for a nice rig, I always hated street queens and said ide never have one. But i think thats changed. I needed something more reliable, and nicer to pick up the honeys in(had some hot chicks in a mustang waving and racing me tonight). Also just something alot nicer. I plan to build a rig in the next year or so so i can offroad with.

Thanks for all the comments.
