Re: [Project] Slow Motion...

so, the truck got damaged by some tornado debris the other day, heres a thread on it: Tornado Damage!

well the truck is getting repaired here soon, all covered by insurance. yay, haha. I've been looking around the forum to do something new and I liked the look of the Bravada front bumper with a 98+ grill. So I decided to go searching today and found a deal. It'll get painted with the truck when it gets repaired if I can bolt it straight up, if not I'll just sell it. haha

Re: [Project] Slow Motion...

fogs and plate box are already gone.

Im really wanting to shave the gate handle and third brake light but i dont wanna order them and not be able to get it done. all of that would have to be done by the shop. so when i go tomm. i gonna see when they can get me in, if i have awhile then ill be ordering the fillers for that. the handles might have to stay for a little longer, but if anything they will be shaved later down the road.

Yeah, the picture size had the text outside of my screen and i didn't scroll over. I just assumed it said "I liked the look of the grill".

Re: [Project] Slow Motion...

bumper isn't gonna be adirect swap, if you look at the top frame horn bolt holes, on the reinforcement, you'll see that they dip down, when bolted up to the frame horns, it pushes the entire bumper up, i'd say, 3/4" higher than it needs to be, not making you be able to put the grille on.

i cut that section out, and just rewelded in some flat sheetmetal, making the top of the reinforcement completely flat, drilled new boltholes, and it helped it out a ton, still had to do alot of adjustment to get it to fit.

if you dont mind me asking, how much did you get the bravada shit for?

had to go 2 hours, and pay 200 bucks to get ahold of mine, closest one i could find just gotta get the bitch painted next week.

Re: [Project] Slow Motion...

so, the truck has been in the shop a couple days and i figured i was wasting time by not doing the things i wanted before turkey drag, so i went and got the grille.

Shave Grille Bowtie

before


cut! oh noooo!


fitment


exopy


1st layer of filler and light sand


Still have alot of work to do as you can see but thats where it sits now. The work could have probably been cleaner but in the end it will all work, keep in mind that idk what I'm doin...haha

I also sold my clear 3rd brake lens and ordered a filler. So slowly shaving everything

Re: [Project] Slow Motion...

Id do a blue bar with the upper grill silver. Also if you are putting the billet inserts back in id paint the stock mesh part of the grill black to make the billet stand out more.

- blue ARC-9 Switchbox from AVS
- Airlift single needle gauge from Newmatics Inc.
- $100 credit with 4wdfactory

Re: [Project] Slow Motion...

yeah definitely keep me updated and ill keep you updated. the two tone paint is just a dream for now but i would still like visuals. this coming week i will either be ordering halo headlights, led corners, lowering kit, AND full face billet grille. or i will be ordering 20" rims and tires.
