Spenedwrds build #3

[spenedwrds]

Time to trim that exhaust way back, its crazy how much clearance these trucks gain losing the stock rear bumper. Looks nice man, maybe another SC in the future?

Oh man I know. That's next on the list after a few maintenance parts. Thinking of doing duals and bringing the tips straight out. And nah not really planning but if another pops up for a good deal you never know haha

The rear bumper looks awesome man! Can't wait to see it next weekend.

Thanks man I really like it too! And heck yea I can't wait. Only thing is my gf sister graduates Saturday night so I'll have to leave then come back up there later that night but oh well

Put a fishing rod holder on the roof rack. 12 buks and some zip ties. It works great

Could have added 75 more if you kept your SC....haha I definitely understand your decision as money from a SC can go a long way in mods. Trucks looking great btw.

Yea I know man! Would've been awesome. But oh well! Think I like the bumper more than I would have the charger. Plus I still have a good bit to play with. Have a few ideas I'm thinking about doing.

Also have a bad howling sound so I need to get that figured out so that will come first before anymore big mods

 

[spenedwrds]

Well I think I know what the howling sound I've had for a month has been. I've been a complete idiot not looking into this earlier knowing how the axle seals are on these things. Walk out to my truck this morning and saw this.


Took it to a guy he looked and said it was deffinatley the axle seal. And that it sounded like my bearings needed to be replaced also and he's afraid my gears may be shredding. He told me that he doesn't know until he can open it up and look. If they weren't then it would save me some money of course. But he quoted me 1900$ if the gears needed replaced along with the seals and bearings.

Anyone think this is rediculous or right on?
Also I think I'm better off looking for a elocker axle and just doing a swap. There's a yard local selling complete axle for around 500

And help or input is greatly appreciated

 

[spenedwrds]

Well found a axle with e locker and the 4.10 ratio I need. Slapping a few coats of undercoating on today and hopefully taking it to a shop tommorrow to get it installed. I could do it but I got quoted 150 to 200 for labor so I'm just going to do that instead of me taking a day to do it and possibly running into some problems.

Took it for a test ride about 2 weeks ago. Worked perfect. It's amazing at the difference it makes. I have a small project I've been working on. Should be able to update my thread here this weekend once I get it done.

Been working on a little home made awning. Rolls up inside pvc pipe. Works pretty good just need to make a few little tweaks and some paint. But here is the idea. Better pics to come

Looks great man! You should come to Athens in the fall for some tailgating since you are def prepared.

That was one of the reasons hahah go dawgs! I'm so pumped for some football man. And my cousin had a hitch mounted grill that he wasn't using so he just gave it to me. So I am for sure tailgating ready haha

 

[DizzyDoyle]

Right on man! My roommate and I have a tailgating spot right by the stadium. The lot is run by the Boy Scout troop I work with so we can probably hook you up with a space. Go Dawgs!

 

[spenedwrds]

Heck yea man! I stay in touch about that!

 

[spenedwrds]

Worked on these all weekend. 3" audi a6 projector retrofit with audi OEM hella ballast and 4300k bulbs. Used a 4" to 3" pvc bushing from Home Depot for my shroud. Still need to get some switchback halos to match my drl. But here's how they look for now!

Any updates for this beast?
