  1. Well my buddy has been workin on this truck for a while now, and he just was excepted into school for 4 years 1300 miles away. He shows up at my house today with this truck and a great big bow on top. Said marry Christmas. Its not perfect, its a project, but whats been started was done well, and for the price i cant complain....

    Sorry about the pics they are from my phone...

    Its a 96 4.3 5 speed 160K miles. 4" body, has suicidedoors lower arms up front, stock uppers. was attempted to be stock floor dropped, im going to re build the floor, and traditional 4link. however i will be going to bag on bars =) Truck sits on 20s (they clean up nicely) was made to sit on 22s. Anyways thought id post up pics. ill get some more once i get to workin on it.

  2. im not sure this is in the right section or not, but im having a hard time finding out something. I need to know, on an EG hatch, or any 92-95 civic, what the ohm reading for the fuel sending unit is? if anyone knows, or has a good idea of how to find out, i would really appreciate it. im going to start building my dash soon, need to get my gauges ordered. Thanks in advance guys! sorry if this is in the wrong section... :popcorn:

  3. Hey guys i just wanted to ask someone, im getting a 95 jimmy, 4x4 4door etc...next week. And its in need of some new rubber so im wanting to put some 33s on it. And get it up a little higher, so i was wondering what my cheap options are on lifting it? I know nothing about 4x4 stuff, im sure its basic just like dropping them. I thought i would ask some questions before i go tearing it apart. Any input would be great guys thanks!

  4. I have yet to dive into air struts and the like but am interested. Basically I'm looking for the top companies to use and a list of everything I would need if I can get some help. Also, how much better do they ride over a nice lowered suspension? I know bags are smoother, but how so the struts compare? Thanks :)

    Brands are going to be personal preference. As far as how does it ride? well that depends. if you spend $2000 on your lowered suspension it will ride great. same with air, If its done right it will be a nicer ride than lowered. As far as struts, struts can ride better than bags if done correctly. The problem with struts is the pivot movement you get with stock struts is taken away when you mount the brackets used with struts. your control arms pivot from the inside of the vehicle, meaning the distance from the outer area of the control arm and the inner are going to be different. If the strut is mounted solid to either control are (how most people do it) than your strut only moves up and down, which doesnt allow your suspension to move freely. Which makes it ride stiff and tend to use a lot of psi to get it off the ground. Basically what im getting at is if you buy stock brackets its going to ride pretty stiff, if you can have someone in your area fab up some custom brackets you'll be a lot better off. Also with cylinders think more air less pressure. there is no need to run 200-250psi in your ride. try using a larger tank, and keeping it around 130-150.

    I've rambled enough, as far as answering you basic question, hit up

    suicidedoors.com

    Airbagit.com

    Fbirides.com

    Those are some good places to get started on building your air suspension. :drink40:

  5. when we were looking at names i liked carrera, madelyne. Boy names Talon, Bryce(which is now my sons name lol) and of coarse Voltron :drink40: but in all seriousness its hard to decide on a name. my son was supposed to be a girl, all the way up to the time he was born they told us it as a girl. so we had carrera picked out and i fell in love. Then bam! came out with a penis. so we were back to square one at the hospital lol. Good luck!

  6. not to bring back an old post, but Ive been away from my computer a lot. anyways i decided to jump in balls deep with this. bought a cheap-o single action airbrush from harbor freight to start with. I also have a dual action satajet that i bought brand new from a buddy.

    There is a guy local to me that does a lot of custom graphics and airbrush work. im going to hit him up at this car show coming up. We know each others cars but not really ever talked face to face. I've also been doing a lot of reading up and talking with artist. I think its going to be a lot of fun, its def going to be something that takes time to perfect. But like any other art ive done, ill finger it out as i go...

    Ill post up some first attempt pics this weekend for y'all to laugh at :pardon:
