Tow vehicle help

Hmmmm.

Hmmm is definitely right. Just hit the speed bump (whoops will do) really good and let it just fall off. Let it breathe from the front to back. Add a lift pump and have fun.

Hmmmm.

Do you even need to smog it if you register it at the same address you have the Explorer registered?

That whole deal is unraveling so have to figure out a plan B or find “a guy”

 

[Justsomeguy]

Sounds like a few people around these parts may know of this guy you speak of.

Getting harder and harder to find “guys”.

Getting harder and harder to find “guys”.

Plenty of “guys” in the San Fernando Valley. Follow the parade of slammed short bed chevys with “400SS” on the tailgate, cut-in sunroof and a popcorn maker under the non-paint matching HD hood to the nearest shop

Picked myself up an upgrade today. These should up the look of the truck some.

I’m order to clear the tires in the front will need to lift the front about 3”. So after talking to some people they had great luck with this kit.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Awesome! I know nothing about that kit. But I hope you have good luck with it. I went the 4" with the keys turned down. Rode fantastic. Will again as soon as I get some new tires and I think its time for some hubs. Its going in next week or the week after. Soon as the tires I ordered come in. Was also shoping some cp3 conversions. I think im finally going to do the swap.

Have a few friends with it and they swear by it. One is a total GM geek and did all the research. He’s going to help me install it.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Thats great. Nothing like real world experience from people you trust. The arms alone look really well made.

I ha e been looking into the conversion as well. I only have 60k miles so think I have some time.

I just sent a message to proformance diesel. Need some things clarified. May just have them do it. Im just afraid of it letting go. I've never had problems and it's had a lift pump most of it life. But the chance is not worth it to me.

 

[Justsomeguy]

Well that conversation escalated quickly. Was not expecting that. Will be waiting until after the new year and then see how things are looking. Because my calibrations can no longer be changed as the individual was shut down. I need all new calibrations and a few other things I wasn't anticipating.

Found a deal on a dually I couldn’t pass up. So now I’m starting to out fit or for desert season. We will be doing a lot more dry camping and trips to Glamis this year, and this truck will work well for us.

Im ashamed to say I went with a Chevy as I’m a die hard Cummins guy.....but it’s what I got.

truck came with goose neck hitch already so thinking of going with the B&W companion hitch so I still have a useable bed.
Anyone have any feedback on this setup?

We love ours!!

 

[Riverbound]

Ok. So I’m pretty sure I’m done with this truck now.

Added the Level kit and installed the wheels today.

I’m loving the look.

 

[DLC]

Looks sweet! The tires wheels make it stand out, looks really good!

 

[Justsomeguy]

Came out really good! Are you running stock tie rods?

Wow! Wasn’t a fan of the look with stock wheels. Looks pretty damn cool now though.

 

[RitcheyRch]

Those wheels sure make the truck look HUGE.

 

[Riverbound]

No. Upgraded them.

I’m going to assume a little rougher. Only drove it around the block. Heading to the desert today so will be the first test.

I asked to go high as possible in the front. To make sure I cleared the tires. I’m going to drop it about an inch to soften up the ride some.

Looks great!
I really need to get my F350 project moving forward. My wife keeps finding ways to spend our toy budget on other items.
