looking good so far. I would have put the tube in first or atleast braced the frame before cutting into it to prevent the frame rails from tweaking.

Ill have more pictures as soon as i get them from my buddy (corey) who is doing majority of the work. Unfortunatly im only available every other weekend to help out due to work.

[ikon]

How much pinion change do you get with that 4 link setup?

idk exact numbers but it didnt change much at all. Its a KP universal 4link.

[Low88]

nevermind on my first comment. didnt realize you were going 3/4 frame. looking clean man.

[CahtasZ]

nice man, love the pics looks pretty in deep. i like the body drop thing on ya window lol

[lowryder99]

looks awesome man, im jealous!

What size are those tires by the way?

[Jimmy P]

niiiiice work

[DRAGGIN95]

Lookin good!

[ikon]

looks awesome man, im jealous!

What size are those tires by the way?

Those are toyo proxes s/t 255/40/20. Theyre balder then my grandmas ass tho. Just bought new toyo proxes 4 255/35/20.

[phatchevy06]

Lookin' good. Keep it up! Good luck :D

[low_clazz]

what all has to be moved under the hood to clear that size tire?

[blazinlow89]

what all has to be moved under the hood to clear that size tire?

Under the hood really for the most it is the wiring on the driverside firewall. We removed the heater, which could have been altered to keep, but it isn't needed since it is a summer vehicle. The overflow has to be moved, so it is gonna be put over a little bit on the firewall. Also something different is going to be done with the battery, probably just a tray on the trailor fenders.

exactly what i figured on mine. thanks man.

[blazinlow89]

No problemo man

[HHH]

Nice work... Great pictures.:rocking:

[Dukemaster]

Man that would be so much fun! Nice work! One question why is the fuel cell sump faceing towards the cab?

[ikon]

Man that would be so much fun! Nice work! One question why is the fuel cell sump faceing towards the cab?

Were trying to keep the cell under the stock bed floor. If we put the sump in the back as low as it is when i air up the front to turn the sump will drag or come VERY close to dragging and we dont want that.

[blazinlow89]

plus there is foam inside, so it shouldn't be too big of a problem

[mccustomize]

lookin good keep updating

[ikon]

Well my man started on the 4 link today. So here are some pics.

lookin good. i cant wait for tuesday to get here.

[Izzy]

idk exact numbers but it didnt change much at all. Its a KP universal 4link.
I was just checking because the bars were so short.

[blazinlow89]

it was only bag on axle, and with the full range it only had like 6" of movement...so it didn't change a whole lot

[dapolice1]

Why all the air fresheners? Don't answer rhetorical question.

What kind of lights are those in the front? Are they the smoke or black, and where did you get them?

Work looks good.

[Kruznlow69]

lookin good guys.. have to check it out at dropfest.. im trying to get mine back together for the "Gods Country Racing" show here in mid march.. i'm supposed to have it ready and show it then. got a lot of werk to do by then!

Hood rat bitches love air fresheners. As for the lights they are from ebay. Black in color.

[jaredcc86]

[BagginA93chev]

nice work man, its nice to see some fellow minnesotans on here layin out their trucks.

[dapolice1]

You might want to replace the cab mounts while your at it. Few dollars more, and will save you from dealing with a sagging cab.

Progressing nicely.

[Nickleahy23]

Blazinlow89 you got that cell number again?

[ikon]

[Bagged 04]

yeah i guess its pretty sweet, hahaha no that is def some insain stuff!!

:word: good job guys, Some damn nice work blazinlow!

[droppedsierra]

im really diggin the work, the only thing i would have done differently is the front mounts of the tri bars... i know you used axle mounts instead of just tabs, but they should be angled so that the bolts of the tri-bars are perpendicular to the bars themselves, like they are on your axle, can ya dig? catch my drift? pickin up what im droppin? smellin what im steppin in? if you dont fix it, it will put a lot of force in a direction that you dont want it to, and possibly break the super-pivot, or possibly bend the mount... i mean, somethings got to give, sometime down the road... just thought i'd throw that out there. other than that, truck is lookin pretty dope man... keep it up

[ikon]

Theyre super pivots....theyll be fine...plus they still have plenty of movement side to side before they hit anything....So how can there be pressure when it isnt hitting?

[ikon]

For those of you who were interested in the progress in this thread the progress is now being kept at....

http://subsonickustomz.mywowbb.com/forum13/6367-1.html

i dont have the time to load all these pics and update 2 forums on this build. So for those of you who were interested feel free to hop on over and check out the progress there.

They are ART arms, the 1500 and 2500 are the same, also the spindles are stock. I really wasn't happy with the lower a-arm design because we needed to cut way more then i would have liked to out of the frame.

wait.. did you ditch ac all together, crazy

Never had A/C to begin with and it never gets driven in the winter so we just took it all out.

[cecinestpasjc]

Your truck looks awesome man. You're in SK so I assume you'll be staying at Brownsburg Super 8. Me and my buddy will be staying there. Oddly enough your truck looks like a bastard child of our two trucks. Mine's a pink and black Sonoma two tone like yours and his is a Chevy work truck (standard cab long bed) that's still in planning/buying parts stage.

[ikon]

Yea yea...thats where well be stayin. Dont be afraid to come introduce urself. Should be pullin in around thu. night

[DroppedAsAChild]

[Pre-Game]

Hey Ikon, i know this is off topic, but how did you go about smoothing your dash like that... did u have the vents there before and just fill in? i am smoothing mine down, i had filled the lil grooves that go around the trim, and then laid a coat of fiberglass resin over it all, but i wanna get the a/c holes filled like yours cause i go no a/c either... thanks.. Jason

[ikon]

sanded and fiberglassed the dash

Swweret vids and pics bro, question what headlight bulds are you useing???

[Blaze5509]

Pink & Black is sic!!

I'm gonna do a pink and black "somethin" for my g/f once the funds are there

[ikon]

Swweret vids and pics bro, question what headlight bulds are you useing???
Thanks man, Im using a re-based 9006 HID kit for the lowbeams and just your standard halogen 9005 bulb for the highbeams. and for all you haters about rebased HIDs keep the comments to urself cause i really dont give a ****.

[tahoen]

Nice, Very nice!

[layindoor84]

Lookin good bro. I did the same thing on the sides of my frame over the welds. Can't never be to safe.

[JCruz]

Sweet truck, Now dont take this the wrong way, but I just cant get over the nasty old looking steering wheel. Throw a new one on it! :)

[ikon]

Its in the plans man trust me. Its quite a ways from complete but i gotta start to slow down a bit because ive got school loans to start payin back in Dec.

[DroppedAsAChild]

This might sound dumb but what are rebased hids??

[ikon]

its an HID bulb that is rebased to fit into your stock headlight housing.

[sLOWrado01]

heh. did you get the pink color HID kit? i forget what kelvin it is...? would look cool with the pink scheme.

[ikon]

nah, just an 8000k kit from cqlight.ca pretty good for a plug and play kit. Had it for over 3 years never had a problem yet.

[sLOWrado01]

ya ive got 8000K plug n play too, i dig it, wish ida gone 6000K tho, i like the whiter light...

[ikon]

yea i think when one of my 8000 bulbs go im gonna get the 6000k as well.

[DroppedAsAChild]

I think im gunna have to look into one of these kits hows the quality ??

[ikon]

Pretty good. Like i said ive had it for over 3 years now and havent had a single issue with them.

[DroppedAsAChild]

which do you reccomend the 6000k or the 8000k??

[sLOWrado01]

it depends on how blue you want the lights to be. 8000K is startin to get fairly blue in the lenses, but is very white on the ground. 6000K is white on the lenses (a look i like better), and still very white on the ground. for a truck you drive daily and want to keep classy id def stay under 10000K or IMO itll look ricy. heres a good shot of mine with 8000K ( i need the sylvania housing i know...)

Well just splurged hardcore on air management...Sick of my slow ass comps and gonna remove my 2 5 gals and put a 12 gal in the bed. I just ordered up from SD....

(1) 200psi adj. Square D pressure switch
(1) Black 12 gal. 8 port tank
(1) 96-98 Chevy Half Ton Vortec V8 Engine Driven Comp.

on top of that various fittings to make it all work. Well be movin the airline back to the outside of the frame rail now that we got the axel shift problem under control so stay tuned for some updates come spring...prly leave it sit til then so i dont have to rush the install.

[samson7x]

what you gonna do with the old tanks? i might be interested in buying one if you are selling... pm me please sir.

[ParadoX]

your truck is sick man, done a hell of a job! what made you go with the paint, just outta curiosity?

[ikon]

what you gonna do with the old tanks? i might be interested in buying one if you are selling... pm me please sir.

The 5 gal. tanks that are in there currently have been sectioned due to the fact that the new fuel cell we had to install didnt quite fit right. They both leak and will be tossed in the trash. Sry i cant help ya man!

your truck is sick man, done a hell of a job! what made you go with the paint, just outta curiosity?

Went with pink for something different...its not a color you see alot...just wanted something different.

[eviltwin]

have you had any problems with your rear end moving during hard turns because you have so little triangulation in the 4-link?

[ikon]

When we originally finished it yes we had big problems...But we redid the 4link after that i just never posted pics.

[ParadoX]

its definitly different, but a good one, your truck looks great man!

[ikon]

Thanks man!

[low_clazz]

truck turned out awesome. looks very nice!

[ikon]

[BigBadBowtie572]

While I think it's funny that you painted it pink, I really do appreciate the hard work you put into it. I haven't seen any like it so good job! :thumbup:

[ikon]

Pink is the international color for vagina...duh

[RaiN]

Pink... Gets you the PINK!

[BlackBeauty91]

I dunno the terminology very well... I assume the frame touches the ground now and before at the beginning of the thread - the truck just went up and down or didn't go as low?

Sick truck - built your own frame - crazy. I thought I was doing good to put in new cd players and easy stuff. lol

[ikon]

it laid frame last summer...it lays body now.

[Nickleahy23]

body FTW

[BlackBeauty91]

Ohhhhhhhhh
