T-man's '05 Sport Build Thread

Well I need to aim my headlights now. Went for a drive last night and my headlights are really pointing up now! Unfortunately it was blowing sleet and there was no way I was aiming them! Lol
Front is so much higher, I can actually see traffic lights without craining my neck now! Looks pretty level even though the front is about an inch lower. Ride is fantastic now, no more tire rub, I can see better, it doesn't lean in corners anymore, and I am very happy with it!

Damn good looking truck!!
 
Found out if you remove the front driveshaft and lock it in you can still drive around normally.
Also, this thing is nuts in 2 wheel drive! It'll break the tires loose at will! Lol. I may or may not have done a couple donuts....

Dude...your T4r looks sick!!!

My front is 1 1/2 lower (center of wheel to bottom of fender, but frame is dead nuts level!!) than rear. You look pretty level too IMO. The space inside wheel wells is deceiving.
 
Thank you. It's all custom. Doug thorley headers, dual exhaust with catalytic converters deleted, magnaflow race series muffler. It's pretty nasty!
Meant to ask you how the cats are deleted? You just have the cel on? I think I may do mine soon, seeing how I'm pretty sure I'm toasting then anyways

My cel is still on because I haven't had time to wire in my URD O2 simulator. They have a plug and play one but it is on backorder so I ordered the universal one that you have to splice in.
My cats are gone completely. Just pipe back to the muffler now.

I'm 1" lower in the front but I really like it! The ride is amazing how to!

Well I started back reading your thread after I put that, so the spark plug extended didn't work? I had a truck I used those on a long time ago and they worked great but it was an older truck so it might be different

The headers just flow to much. Maybe if I put more on but I honestly don't have the room for more spacers. Oh well. URD O2 simulator will fix it.

I actually didn't use spark plug extenders, but the things scientifically designed for off road use only, can't remember the name of them but basically same thing a little longer I think
 
Pulled my front driveshaft due to a bad u joint. It's toast! I'm surprised it didn't fall out its so loose... Having fun with 2wd though!

You can see it was actually starting to rub there was so much play.

Have you run around in 2WD like that before. I've been wondering if it can cause any issue with the Torsen transfer case...

As long as it's locked in it doesn't have a clue there isn't anything connected to the front. While locked it's a 50/50 split.
P.S. It'll do some wicked burnouts!

Right on. Truthfully, I don't have a solid understanding of how a Torsen center diff works. Just wanted to know if it's safe to do if I ever get into trouble.

I would say at the very least you would be safe to limp home after pulling the driveshaft out and locking it in. Without locking it in you won't go anywhere at all.
 
Had a little fun with an RX-8 today. Him and another car were racing and got stuck behind traffic in front of me. A passing lane was coming up and when they got on it I rode their ass with the petal to the floor. :D They were VERY surprised that my big ass truck was on their ass! He waved out the window at me. I got to 102 at one time, and with a quickness. That little mazda would pull ever so slightly more speed, but stock gears with some heavy ass 35's, I'm impressed! Regear and I'd have smoked his ass with a quickness. :flame: :yo: :rofl:
 
How's that gibson exhaust sound? Do you have a video or something?
Here's one, I have since fixed the rub I was talking about in the video. https://flic.kr/p/DPgyMA
I also quoted my post from before with a couple driving videos. Playing around and such.
Couple videos..
Cruising at 60. Noise isn't bad and you can listen to the radio at a regular volume.

Rest of my short ride, getting on it a little and jamming out!

Edit : just realized you said gibson. Let me see if I can find an old video of when I had it still.
