Dirty Dog! hahahaha

I'm stationed out of El Paso (Ft Bliss).. But next October Ii've got a date at the Captains Career Course in Benning. After that i'm not too sure yet.

 

well holy **** i'm in FT carson but in SEP i move to Bliss lol and i guess i better start calling you sir cuz i've only got some stripes hopefully get a date for the old bnoc here pretty soon

 

LOL.... Ft Bliss.... Man..... I hate it there... I'm so glad to be leaving. It all depends on what BDE your going to and all but.... El Paso didn't exactly grow on me. I hope it works out better for you

 

well my orders say i'm going to somewhere in air defense so yeah i'm hoping its a lot better than 4th id cuz this unit bites dick

 

Well there are tons of Air Defense dudes running around here... so i guess they like it? *shrugs* El paso just isn't my kinda town.

 

well i'm a mechanic so we'll see how it goes me and the wife hate colorado springs how cold is it down there in the winter time

 

Truck looks beautiful! I have a 99 with an 8ft bed, 5spd 4.2 too, and im looking to do exactly this. except witha 2 or 3in body lift. Glad to know im lookin to spend a nice chunk of change on this project. Where did you get your rear end/front end? Did you order them or go to a scrap yard? and what size lift? 6in? and god bless!

 

If you want to do it right you will spend some money. There is no doubt about that. As far as where i got the Rear end and front end? They where already on the truck.. I purchased my E-Locer and TruTrac from summit racing at the time, and i just went with Yukon Gears; Which everyone normally has.. I think they still might have the best deal. And it is a 6in BDS suspension lift... I spent a lot of time restoring everything aswell though.. While i had the truck up and rear end off i went a head and changed all my U-Joints on the front and rear shaft. Changed my CV Axes out.. Blasted the ol' rear end, front end, and all nasty spots on the frame and herculined it as well.. If you just wanted the lift and tires its not that bad... However i couldn't imagine how much it would have cost to pay someone to do all that too. Anyways Best of luck to you in your project. I'm glad the review helped someone.

 

good read. nice truck. I'm happy with my BDS lift.
