I only wanted a ski rig....My Build Thread

[KellyJ]

And I thought you said you only wanted a ski rig?

..I like the integration of the Black Magics as it doesn't stray away to the black motif of your rig.

How do you feel about them being installed on a silver truck with a silver/black only theme/motif? I dunno if I wanna drop $200 on Hella's when I could grab some dual beam PIAA's.

Four, you got plans for exhaust?

 

[ChildrenOfBodom]

I like this. Any info on it? I want one to cover my cracking wheel.

steering wheel cover

Wheelskin from auto anything, $50 very sweet, it took an hour+ to get it really tight

lights and exhaust

Kellyj
I guess they'd look good on silver, bottom line is, they kick some serious light

headers and new exhaust is a maybe at this point, but I said maybe about the SC and it's going on this week

Mud Flaps

Needed Flaps before Stubb's sliders get installed....soon I hope

 

[blcktpgsr]

Haha someone finally got tired of splashes off the front wheels, could you provide more info as to where you got them from?

Sure those are 520 Piaa's? I could be wrong but they seemed small to be 520's...anyway another good addition.

Sweet ride dude!! I think you passed "ski" rig a long time ago. Your next step would be buying a sled!!:biggrin2:

Gotta love Alpine! Imo, the best vertical and snow in Tahoe! Used to live at the bottom of Munchkins; rode to my front door everyday! Ive has a pass there for 7 years but now i work at Northstar and almost never see Alpine anymore. Now i practice my spins instead of turns!

Ill keep an eye out for your rig in town! :cheers:

Looks great with the lights in it! No more empty spaces.

Can't wait for the charger. Vroom vroom!

Alpine's super sweet

Love that place, mid week you can park at the front door

I'm so lame I ordered PIAA 510 instead of 520, they do look small

Irs mod

I added the IRS MOD yesterday, I'm not sure why I waited so long, thanks to the detailed posts, it took me about and an hour and a half, which includes the $10 stop at a local muffler shop. Sounds better, looks better..
Question is paint it black or clear, I kinda like the metal look

 

[Hepar]

My vote is to go with what is going to make you happier! Sounds like it's the clear. The only thing is that I'd say it's a good idea to use high heat paint on it since it's in the engine bay. Not sure they make that in clear.

Dirty engine

Hey Hepar,
Notice the dirty engine? I'm going to clean it before the big tear down, waiting on better weather for the timing belt/SC project

Is that better weather gonna be there before the 15th-ish? Otherwise I'm coming through Reno, breaking into your garage and taking it!

I thought since you live down there and speaking of weather, My buddy from Minden posted this pic on his facebook while he was on his way to Kirkwood (from the nevada side) I was like :jaw drop: Utah hasn't even come close to having this much snow

I did mine this past weekend also. I painted mine with wheel spray paint that I'd picked up to respray one of my center caps with. It kept it close to that metal look but added some rustproofing and some shine to it as well as some heat protection.

BTW: Awesome truck man, one of the nicest looking rigs on here. :thumb3:

What color is your wheelskin? Is that a graphite or something, or is it black and just a funny angle?

Thanks for the props

Wheelskin's black, love the feel, if you get one, take your time and you'll like the outcome

I'm def. digging the looks of it. It looks like it has a good feel to it. Cool, thanks for the info.

Stubbs HD-SKO slidders

I drove up to Susanville this morning and had Richard Stubb's weld on my slidders, great guy, promised that he'd have them painted and ready to install when I got there, two hours later I'm rolling down the highway with a smile on my face, plus added bonus, I got two hours of local 4x4 info, I can't wait for summer....Rubicon trail anyone?...Richard said my rig would make it no problem, as long as it's late in the season and the trail's been "stacked" learned something new today...unfortunately he started talking about "lockers", the mod list just got a little longer

 

[Hepar]

Nice!
