I traded my truck for my car- 1996 Subie Impreza wagon Swapped and slammed. I got it from another member on the forum actually!

The first day i got the truck i pulled the engine to examine. After finding a **** ton of hidden problems that werent stated by the seller, i fixed it all and even dropped in new forged pistons.

Then, i bought a push bar from a 1990 Bronco and sent it to get powder coated.

Things ordered; Waiting to come in==
Black out headlights,
Black out Tailights,
KC Daylighters,
9.3" Touch screen slide out Single din,
Speaker headliner from LMC truck
HID lights
Powder coated push bar

Stay tunded!

 

I kinda read one of your other threads and wow.

Anyways regardless if your a scammer or not, I sure like the project name!

Ive been looking for a 4 inch suspension lift for my project truck, what is it about the 4 inch you dont like that your gonna swap it out?

 

Yeah it was a whole fiasco of bull**** and what not. But me and the seller worked it out and we swapped titles.

Its nice, i beileve its a rough country lift, quad shocks up front with blocks in the back and torsion bars too. Its fine, i just need bigger !

Plus the lift was put on id say like 5 years ago so its showing wear.

Bad *** is a violation of fte guidlines?! lol

Think someones taking his moderater duties a weee to serious Morris lol.

On Edit: I searched the word *** and got 17 pages of threads, just for someones information!

 

I like the truck, especially with the clear corner lenses. Makes the nose of the truck a bit more modern.
I noticed a light at the back of the cab. Is that a bed light or third brake light?
I'd like to add a combo bed light third brake light to my 88.

 

Awesome truck but lift the front and rear bumpers! The gaps created from the body lift don't look good...

 

Hopefully not in any of my forums......tho they can slip under the radar.
Once reported a post has to be dealt with.

 

Always have been partial to the 87-91's glad you got your situation sorted. Since it seems like she's already restored, what do you have in mind?

 

Nope its a third brake light. I want to try and find a new one, like a clear or blacked out LED one but ive had no luck

Tell me about it! Is there any write up on how..? or does anyone make new brackets? Ive looked at the front bumper and the bracket wont go up any higher so id need new bracketry or some alternative way.....

Indead! Im still deciding on what to do. Its going to be a piece by piece but some parts of the restoration were skipped..for example the "bed liner" was sprayed on the bed and the underside of the truck. However it was from a spray can and its all chipping off. I think i will get it professionally done.

Other then that, no major mods. Just gonna drive it and enjoy it!

 

I recommend line-x. But I also have a carpet as well if I'm really desperate and can't use my work truck. I'm a stickler for not scuffing it.

 

I use mine as a bed light. Simply turn the headlight **** to the left till it clicks and it turns on.

 

Yeah thats what mine was orginally. I threw a red LED strip from like auto zone in the housing and spliced into the brake lights

 

UPDATE

Started to price out new lift kits. Looks like ill be going with the BDS 6" Radius arm. The sad part- No way in gods green earth do i have that kinda dough laying around.....


so ill be buying piece by piece lol Itll take some time but eventually!

Also, i went 4x4in today for the first time. The truck did good! I went during hurricane sandy for added coolness i must add. However along the trails, i snapped the endlink off the sway bar and i noticed the bushings are bad on the steering links. Fixed soon!
