Nice! So whens the lift coming in?

Cory1020 · August 19, 2007, 02:47:48 PM

Thanks

Once I get the money. Which could be awhile. Something decent for tires is first then some accesories like bull bar, bed rails, maybe spray in liner, new head unit. I have sony xplods coming for the front doors. Itll be a long project based on "when I get the money" lol

thats nice but ill tell you that a spray on liner is very expesive over a regular liner.
a regular one is $180 and a spray on is about $350
i just got a regular one for my truck

if you want a spray in trust me go line x. rino is like a big piece of buble gum its realy rubery and can peel rite up. i have line x and its awsome. nice truck. id wait on the bull bars. get a 200$ body lift and see if u can stuff some 33s in there.

edit: if you have rhino im exagerating a litle bit dont bash me, reed this and see why i feel rhino isnt the best http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/general-discussion/exterior-tech/197127-rhino-vs-line-x.html

sory for kinda jacking you thread.

nice first truck. congrats!!!

Kawa3 · August 22, 2007, 10:23:44 PM

Nice truck!

Cory1020 · August 22, 2007, 10:25:28 PM

thanks! yeah idk about spray in. Prob not, I like how they look. It already has a plastic one, Im prob not going to worry about it.

I can crank up torsion bars in the front and get spring blocks for the back and Ive heard I can fit 35s easily. I was only going to go 33s tho

You know what makes that truck so nice?..... you paid for it by yourself! Everything I have I earned no one else has paid for it, thats why I keep my stuff in such great shape. Good for you man! Great looking truck!

Fox17 · August 23, 2007, 12:41:12 AM

pretty sweet. get ya some muddin tires and magnaflow exhaust and youre hooked up.

and bout the bed liner, get herculiner from any auto parts store or wally world. it is the best. $75 for the kit. my friend did a 2006 dodge 2500 with it and it looks absolutely perfect. you cant tell it from a line x. he took alot of time and did all the prep work and all to do it perfect though. if youve got the patience and the time, nothin is better.

atvrob · August 23, 2007, 01:56:34 PM

gearhead400 · August 23, 2007, 06:17:37 PM

You might wanna drive a truck with the torsion bars cranked first. They ride rough. Nice truck!

get flowmaster(here comes an argument). and roll in bedliner is a cheep alternitive that would be alright but nothing special. i wouldnt go rip out you plastic liner to slap some herculiner in it.

Cory1020 · August 24, 2007, 11:03:29 PM

yeah I havent decided on exhaust brand, either flowmaster or magnaflows. Ill prob stick with my plastic liner, its a good ford oem one.

LakeMaryKid · August 24, 2007, 11:40:18 PM

Props to you bro. It feels great. Trust me i know. Herculiner if applied properly and well prepped is just as good as line-x and rhino. Drop in's suck. Your better to run no bedliner than a drop in.

Cory1020 · August 25, 2007, 02:10:36 PM

most ppl prob dont prep it good enough. hey lakemarykid are you on fordtruckworld.com also? I think I remember seeing that same screen name...

Chevy1500z71 · August 25, 2007, 03:15:42 PM

i have line x and love it, I'm positive that hurculiner wont be as thick or durable, but more than enuf. my bro got some herculiner for his truck ill let you know how it stacks up against my line-x

any yea if you have a plastic liner I'm sure it looks nice but your beater off with no liner since if your bed is scratched up your gona have rust problems.

that looks pretty sweet, i saw a truck on fullsizechevy.com linexed all the way up to the windows with the bumpers and all line-xed. thats a good idea tho my truck is all srcatched up back there from rocks and crap flinging on it.

magniflow if you want mellow flowmaster 40 if you want loud and aggressive, flowmaster 50 if you want realy deep and not ridiculously loud... and then theres flowmaster 10 series which are the loudest most aggressive sound but there considered race mufflers so dont expect to find 10 series at the local muffler shop.

LakeMaryKid · August 25, 2007, 04:26:27 PM

Yep im a member of Fordtruckworld. The get togethers they have are a blast. I was Truck of the Week last week for the site and in the running for truck of the month September for the Florida Chapter. Post up in the florida chapter.

Take it to a local muffler shop(not Meineke or a chain store) They will know what to put on when you tell them the sound you want. Magnaflow, Flowmaster, and the like are over rated. I used glass packs on my 2002 Chevy and took off the catalytic converter. It sounded AWESOME. Should cost $250 or less to have dual exhaust put on.
