Nice!!!!

Needs more low....air ride!?!?!?

neil · « **Reply #202 on:** May 22, 2015, 04:34:10 pm »

It does need to drop a bit, and needs wheels that fill out the arches a bit. Apparently Dodge B-vans front control arms are a virtual bolt on straight swap, and takes two inches out of the nose, should be lots of those at the bone yards. Flipping the rear axle will take 4 inches out of the back. I do tow with it so crazy spring changes aren't in the cards.

She did get a new exhaust... cats gone, flowmaster and 3 inches from the Y back. rummmmmmbbbbble

Fuel mileage dropped (worse) by 4l per hun since, mostly because I like to hear it now.

Well, that doesn't happen every day.
Hope to keep her for another 100,000.

Had my old girl out last night and took a quick shot at Rona. This truck still feels like home to me....Jesus is it ever bumpy though!

^ I always had an appreciation for the ZQ8 though I personally was much more of a fan of the ZR2.

When I was looking for a beater back in the winter a ZR-2 was at the top of my list. Most of them are beat into the ground by now though, and the prices are still on the highside IMO. So I ended up with the T/A. Cool trucks though.

Ever thought about air ride to lose the lumber wagon ride??

I have, back when I was younger I was pretty active in the mini-trucking scene and bags were all the rage. It's just not something that interests me anymore. The ride is terrible in town on our crappy roads, but out on the highway it's not so bad.I've had a 2/3 drop kit sitting in the garage for at least 4 years now, I'd like to eventually throw that on to level it out a bit. I've also started collecting knowledge and casually eyeing classifieds for an engine...Thinking LS swap at some point. Not anytime soon though.

Great looking truck Firm, it looks to be in better shape than my '07 Tundra. A pic of my Tundra yesterday after a wash. Body looks good from afar, but it has some nasty dings and scratches mostly due to inconsiderates in parking lots. I always park towards the back, but it doesn't seem to help.

On a side note, I wish the neighbour would do something with his yard. Going on four years and he hasn't touched it. The only one on the block.

Ive said before, a set of Bilstein 5100s can usually make most trucks ride like a dream. I was just thinking air ride because of the ride, not the "oye vato" factor.

Thanks Bridge. Mine has some of the same (scratches, dents, etc) from actually being used. I bought it at 30,000kms, it's at 230,000 now. It's seen a bit of everything; highschool, university, shop truck, farm truck, commuter and now it spends most of it's time sitting in the garage.
