93 bodydrop

bigsjr420 · 01-09-2008, 01:19 AM

The RE-7s fvckin rock! I showed the lift in a pic above with 125 psi and a firestone 2500. I set that same height with just 80 psi. At 100 psi I'm way above the tire and is the highest I'd ever ride at. I'm definately finding a day to do this install on my daily driver cause I've been planning it and already have all the parts for it. Now its time to get to the 4-link and also start tweeding the rest of the interior parts.

bigsjr420 · 01-09-2008, 08:31 PM

That's 100psi. I can't wait to put these in my daily driver.

s10fan2000 · 01-09-2008, 09:57 PM

Innis · 01-09-2008, 10:08 PM

I think I'm finally gettin to it tomorrow. I've been tweeding the interior more since I finished the front. Tomorrow I'd like to atleast get my pinion angle set, the axle tack welded into place with some steel, cut out the old crap, and start making measurements for the link bars and crossmembers.

HeWeR · 01-11-2008, 01:48 AM

truck is looking real good man keep it up

dshznit91 · 01-11-2008, 07:05 AM

truck looks great i think im going to get rid of my re6s and get some 7s up front

bigsjr420 · 01-12-2008, 02:00 AM

I did some measuring for the 4 link tonight. The old setup sucks!! I measured 10 degrees in change with the pinion angle through its travel. I'm glad I decided to cut all that crap out and start over with my own setup.

leroyme · 01-12-2008, 02:08 AM

WOW! I can't believe your progress. I can't wait to see more on this! I like the new RE7's. The grille is pimp as well.

Keep us posted!

Salpy · 01-13-2008, 01:04 AM

nice truck cant wait to get mine bagged!!

bigsjr420 · 01-15-2008, 11:42 PM

hopefully tomorrow i can start cuttin out the old 4-link. I'm been real sick and bought a house yesterday, the 4 bay garage is going to kick ass.

bigsjr420 · 02-05-2008, 06:31 PM

Haven't done much lately except some tweed work here and there. I did get a ton of free steel for the link bars and crossmembers though.

The headliner backing was in rough shape, but was the best I could find so I made it work.

Some of the steel I grabbed.

A bung already welded to the bars I would use for lift bars, but they are 1"-8 threads instead of 1 1/8.

ehhh, a bunch of hardware that came off the legs, thats only half of it.

laynlo_89 · 02-07-2008, 09:30 PM

dave lookin good chief....cant wait to cruise with ya homie! like the dash a lot and good job with the tweed. its a bitch sometimes. i have some spots where i used too much adhesive. grrr....but keep it up brother. gonna need ur expertise with my blazer

bigsjr420 · 02-11-2008, 12:27 AM

old shit is out and I'm gettin the 4-link made this week. I think I'm going to get rid of the chrome 4-link all together since I'm not showing the link bars, why have chrome. I took out the old rear cause it was a pain to get the plasma around to cut off the old brackets and tabs. Plus I'd have to grind down all the old metal left on it.

bigsjr420 · 02-14-2008, 12:42 AM

Ordered the 4-link tonight and hope to have it this weekend and maybe even welded up. I need to start searchin for a radiator and exhaust manifolds or headers now too.

bigsjr420 · 09-20-2008, 04:13 AM

wow. 7 months later and I'm just finishing up the upper bag mounts. 4-link is in place and I'm getting ready to move it to my new house and 4-bay garage. I'll take some pics in a few days.

91S10BlownSBC · 09-20-2008, 04:37 AM

hey, i've got a set of advanced addapters headers from summit if your still looking fo rheaders

let me know

Wybrow · 09-20-2008, 12:22 PM

damn dude wicked project.

thanks, but I have the headers and 3 inch pipes with flowmaster 40s ready to role.

unclejames1 · 09-20-2008, 04:13 PM

did you cover that dash yourself? looks good!

twistedpugsley · 09-20-2008, 04:16 PM

any chance of getting somemore pics of that?

bigsjr420 · 09-21-2008, 03:12 PM

The dash i did myself. It was the first one I did so it didn't come out perfect, but I'm happy with it. Thanks for the compliment on it.

Some more pics of what?

fdimeroller · 09-21-2008, 03:45 PM

jus checked this out, nice work man. that headliner came out nice, and that diamond plate on the frame is lookin pretty unique

bigsjr420 · 09-21-2008, 04:07 PM

I won't take credit for the diamond plate frame. The previous owner did that and in person it looks like shit and isn't square. I was gonna re-do it, but I just wanna make it a solid driver. I'm not trying to make it perfect to the eye.

fdimeroller · 09-22-2008, 01:08 AM

haha, oh gotcha. well, gotta make it your own and add your own touch to it then.

bigsjr420 · 09-22-2008, 11:41 AM

I did. I cut out the old 4-link shit to make it forward cause the reverse got like 12 degrees of pinion angle movement. This one gets 3 at most.

bigsjr420 · 09-30-2008, 12:32 AM

So I finally got the 4-link done and brought it to my house today. Unfortunately my upper bag mounts were shit. I didn't fully weld them before I trailered it and they bent like hell. Bad design, live and learn. I'm using 2x2 box tubing this time and connecting the crossmember to around the notch area and bolting the bags to that somehow.

Here it is in its new home next to the yota. Finally.....

Whoops......

hrspwr454 · 09-30-2008, 01:54 AM

looks awesome!
i love how the motor sticking through the hood

coloRADo_S10 · 09-30-2008, 02:33 AM

dava flav · 09-30-2008, 11:59 PM

what size wheel and tires you running again?
and how tall are you uppe cups.
im gonna be building a sfbd frame for my my girsl first gen this winter. starting in a couple weeks
thanks man.

bigsjr420 · 10-01-2008, 01:43 AM

Rims are 18x8 and I wanna say the tires are 225/40 R18, but i'm not positive. I'll double check tomorrow for ya. The sidewall isn't too small and they lay just before the tie rods hit the frame.

bigsjr420 · 10-04-2008, 12:07 AM

How bout this? I didn't make any brackets for it yet, but got it down from the loft and thought it might work. I want a bumper to lay without a cut in half air dam.

dava flav · 10-04-2008, 11:03 AM

hows it look from the side where it meets the fender. id rock that if it fits the lines good

prodan · 10-04-2008, 11:50 AM

i like the bumper, if it lines up put it one

coloRADo_S10 · 10-04-2008, 03:55 PM

What bumper is that??

LowRidinDime · 10-04-2008, 04:01 PM

looks like a toyota bumper? truck looks good by the way.

JoPre · 10-04-2008, 04:27 PM

ya im thinkin toy bumber... truck looks awsome man. keep up the good work.

bigsjr420 · 10-04-2008, 06:15 PM

a toyota bumper from like a mid 90s. It lines up pretty well, which I'm suprised. I gotta figure out the mounting brackets though. First things first though, getting the upper bag mounts welded back in.
