wkeryder4's Build Thread - 07 Sport Edition 4x4

Rebuilt my Extended Sway Bar Endlinks and did the fog light, constant 115v & 12v mod. I originally had built the endlinks using a raw threaded rod and over the past few months they had developed some surface rust that didn't look good so I pulled them off and rebuilt them with some plated sleeves and new bushings. They look much better now.

Picked up a 5th wheel today. Had a 265/70/17 BFG A/T sitting in the garage from my last set of tires so I mounted it on that. It fits under the truck like a glove.

Nice!

Your truck looks so much taller than mine in the rear. Would you mind taking some measurements from ground to center of fender for all sides? Im just curious to see where you're at.

I have a feeling my SW Bumper, WMW Rack, ladder, spare tire & skid plate are weighing things down quite a bit. =(

Sure, I took some when I swapped out the rear shocks. So with a 265/70/17 E Rated spare the rear is at 41" and the front is at 39" fender to floor.

Stellar, thanks for the specs! Mine is at 38/39 Front, 38.5/39 Rear.

I think its time to crank up the front coils and go for the Metal Tech rear LT.
 
Subscribed. That is a fine looking truck. Is a side exit exhaust on your list? Sorry, just never cared for the look of the exhaust hanging out the back especially after a lift.

Thanks! I'm really on the fence about it. I don't like the resonator there either but my issue is I've had cars in the past with exhaust systems and I hated it after a while. Especially with the v6 I just haven't heard an exhaust I like yet and I'd much prefer it to be quiet like the factory. I may just cut the resonator off behind the axle but I've heard mixed reviews of the difference in sound.

I cut mine at the turn down, where the exit was still above the rear axle. The noise difference, if any, is minimal. I did this for added clearance as well as I dragged my exhaust when climbing.

I have that exact Porter Cable. I used it last summer to sand down the whole outside of an old farmhouse....Yes..you read that correctly and yes it SUCKED!!! Sander was badass though! I spent $380 in sandpaper...ugh


Wrong tool for that job.
 
Hey Everyone,

So I decided to put together a build thread as the truck progresses. I picked the truck up in February of 2013. It is a 2007 Sport Edition v6 4x4.
