let usw know what you think!

Alignment is scheduled for tomorrow.  They definitely need shims, I have a crap-load of positive camber right now.  The bolts were a PITA to get to and tight as hell so I didn't even bother trying to go back and shim it close.

So how does it handle with the tall ball joint?

I just went and picked up my ub machine arms with the 1/2 ton plate today. Tony is definitely a good guy to deal with, and even better in person.

I think it handles really well, at least compared to stock.  I ordered the tall lowers from PP last week - god knows when they'll get here though. 

I won ESP again this weekend - here's a vid from my crappy camera mount.  I'll work on some bracing for it for the next event to quell the shaking and move it higher in the cab.

the shakiness just makes it look faster.

lol

The SCCA club down here has pretty much shutdown...we haven't had an event in months. 

I never noticed how high you truck was until that last pic. Still in my top 3

wow, it does look high. glad to see youre driving the truck, and having a blast. runs looked pretty good. seemed to be fairly smooth, but couldnt tell due to the camera shake.

what would be the top 3, eric?

HectorM52's, Tyson's and mine...lol

<clears throat>
 

hood and proper envoy fog lights installed



PP tall lower BJs will be here thursday 

nice!  looks sharp.

notice any weight difference in the two hoods?  I assume thats a steel hood?

Yeah, it's steel.  I didn't really notice much of a difference but I'd guess it added a few pounds

looks good! gonna get the hid lights too?

Looks very good! Congrats.

She looks hungry. 

looks good! gonna get the hid lights too?

Thanks guys!  I doubt I'll get the HIDs.  I don't want to spend a lot of $$ on appearance stuff - my stock hood had a big wrinkle/dent in it and I got this one new for $290 total so I thought it was a good buy.   

UPS called and said the PP tall lower BJs will be here Thursday.  Next event is on Sunday at our small track so I doubt I'll get them in before then.

Apparently it's been a while since I've updated this 

I've been running the tall upper/lower BJs and the UB Machine arms for a while now and they're working great. 

I corded my front eagle F1 supercars and picked up a new pair of Bridgestone RE71's - they're 255/45-17s instead of the 265/40's I was running but there isn't really a noticeable difference in width or height and they were cheap!

I finally got fed up with the blazer seats and picked up a set of Yonaka Katanas.



Also got some engine compartment bling in the form of a stainless rad holder

 

That's all for now

those seats look good, wanna trade for lightweight ones? lol

LOL, these are 32lbs and that's light enough for me!  However, I do have a white cat and the black psuedo-suede is going to be like a magnet for hair...

dang, i think both seats + brackets combined weigh less than 30 lbs for me lol
