I have some Firestone destination A/T's and they are great. Less then $200 per tire around $160 for 1 for the 265/70/R17

 

Went ahead and bought the Mickey Thompson Baja stz 265/75/16. Only got bout 20 miles on them but seem ok lol. Look good on the truck. They were easy goin on cept the last one wanted to be a PITA. put 40 psi in them. Can't wait for it to rain/ snow to see how they handle it. I got em for 131 a each.

 

when you painted the dash, did you sand down the dash before you painted? my dashes paint has chips all over

 

I only thing I did was clean the dash with windex and then soap and water and dried it off as good as possible. I didn't sand anything at all. I used the krylon fusion satin black. It's still looks the same as the day I did it. No chips at all. A few scratches I put there lol. I do however have a few spots on the door panels I'll fix that and redo them when it gets warm in the spring. I think that is from my arm resting on it and stuff like that. Hope this helps some.

 

Bout a year ago I replaced my isolator bolts and upper intake seal. Now I got to tear it all down again to replace the IMRC bushings. Can I reuse the isolator bolts and seal or do I have to buy new bolts and seals?????

 

Amazing what you've done to this truck. Thoroughly enjoyed reading your build thread. Shows what you can achieve with some imagination and time. Impressive.

 

Thanks I greatly appreciate it. Have a few more things to do. That will be this spring/summer. New wheels, install the gauge cluster with tach, and a spindle lift. Also have to replace front windshield. Stone hit it on xway and now cracked all the way across. Again thanks for taking the time and looking through my build and the compliments.

 

Just putting a recent pic of my truck.



Not much new cept the tires and a cracked windshield lol.

 

I've done a lot, love my new mirrors

 

Ok so tomorrow I am goin to go after the imrc valve to fix the bushing on my 4.2 L. Do I have to take the Lower intake manifold as well or can I leave that alone??? I already know I have to take the upper off. Just wondering if anyone knows if I have to take the lower off as well. I bought new isolator bolts just in case I do. Have already replaced them once. Lol. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
