For my 2wd 04 I got a DJM 3/5 drop kit, used. And a new set of Toyo ST2 305/45/22 tires. Will b nice to finally get this one sitting low and level. And for my 03 I got a hpop. Gonna see if I can get it running before I swap it for a 7.3 and a 6spd manual.

Oops was gonna toss a pic on.

 

[Flamed99]

Yes I am. The guy I got it from said he didn't get them back when he went back to stock. Going to get it aligned this morning and see if someone in town has something that will work. It definitely needs it. I'll throw some pics up once it's light outside in the "what did u do today" thread.

And that dually is tucking some tire. I wanted to go all the way down but would need a c notch since it was on the bump stops.

Dang it! Why did everyone have to start talking about AC problems? I popped my hood to look at battery connections and heard something de-pressurizing. Looks to be at the connection near the passenger battery.
Today I bought a Mother's Power cone and some aluminum polish for my wheels.

Was the ac on and you just shut off the truck? The pressure will equalize and make that sound for a short while. If it just decided to leak there would be oil all around it and it would all leak out withing minutes.

I asked the guys at the shop about getn A/Ts on my next go round, to cut down some of the road noise, and they said no problem, but they won't last as long as the M/T's. I guess I'll just continue dealing with the road noise. Other than that, I've been very happy with these Toyo's. They perform very well.

Not my luck with them, had them on my 7.3 and with a little more than 10K they are half gone. They're 38x15.5-18 so maybe the smaller sizes do better. I've never got more than 40K out of the a/t's but with a 60K warranty it helps pay for the new ones. I'll get some pics in the morning of my m/t's.

Here are some pics of my m/t's with about 10K on them. They have been sitting since I totalled this truck last year so they look alittle rough.

10,000 miles......... I have 15,000 miles on mine and I can barely see any wear on them. That's what my last set looked like with 45,000 miles on them. You must a heavy footed fellow ??

That's a 7.3 and I towed alot with it. Mostly 4 to 9K. I did drive in the mountains and played in general alot too. Maybe I should say about 15K. I forget I got them used from a friend that had them on his rig for 2 months then got a sweet deal on some super singles. But that couldn't have been too many miles. It was perfect timing because I had some pro comps that were about wasted. I thought I was doing good with them.

And Ya the truck some good power and I used it. 😁😁😁😈😈😈

Wife found it on Walmart.com, BestBuy had them for $350+.
Walmart has an install kit for double din but not sure if it will fit. If not I can get one from an audio store I use alot.

Got a box for some 10's coming next week. Sealed, behind the back seat, and 2 JL W1 10's I've been wanting to use for something. Could have brought it home today but I wanted one in tan. Gave $125 for it. Was in the stereo shop getting some component speakers for my kids car and couldn't leave with just those.

Got a new box for behind the seat in the 03 crew cab. I had the 10" JL's, and, and wiring from my old wrx, so I'm only out $100 for the box this time around.

So I got a few more things for the stereo in the 03. I had the kickers from my old truck but decided on some Memphis audio components this time around. And since a 6ch app I had just wouldn't fit anywhere I went with the alpine 4ch and gonna use a jl mono block for the subs. And alittle bit of hush mat for some key areas. I guess it's time to get to work now.

Went to harbor freight today and purchased an assload of hand tools,air ratchets, air torque gun, compressor. Before anyone rips me a new one, I know it's cheap but if they last at least 2yrs and I don't have to pay anyone to do the work on my trucks I save! I never thought I would spend $1.2k there lmao! That beats spending $2.5k to have someone do my oil cooler though!

Nothing wrong with HF imo. Some of their tools have a place in my shop and work van. Alot of them have lasted years. Most all the hand tools hold up well. The jacks r good for the price. The air tools I'm 50/50 on. Impacts r good but angle grinders, ratchets, and such no luck with. Same with compressors, some last and some don't. I went back to dewalt, Milwaukee, snap on, matco, and such for saws, drills, and all the major stuff I use on a daily basis or that has a critical use or tolerance. Also I dunno if it makes a difference, but I have yet to buy the extended warranty on anything and don't regret it.

I ordered a PSC ram assist kit today, complete with upgraded steering box. I figure it will come in handy with the 40s that are going on soon.

That it will. I just went to 40's from 38's and it is a much needed upgrade for mine too.
