Alex01 Silver Sport Build Thread

[Alex01]

Got everything under the hood bolted in. The air intake and fuse box didn't want to play nicely together so I ended up cutting the intake hose shorter.

Now all thats left is too cycle the suspension then try and find that rotational noise I heard the other day. My plan is to replace one hub and if it still makes the noise replace the other with the pulled part.

Drove it out into the light without any CEL's lighting up the dash. I'm excited to see how much uptravel I regained once the kids go to bed.

Results are in. I'll let the photos tell the story.

Before/After

You know what to do. Can't leave any gap unfilled. It's just not the American way.

By my analysis of that photo, I estimate that this is a 2.5” gap.

So...fodees.

[Tldelaney]

You Def could do alot more with an extra 2.5" Are you using those fenders to compensate???

Throw or borrow some 37s for that bad boy. Whats the worst that could happen for science.

Worse that can happen: I'll love the looks and need to take out a HELOC on my house for tires, axles, and a stretch.

You say that like you haven't already inquired about it.

If you got some adapters I got some 36x13.5x16.5 that you can test fit. They measure TALL for being 36" tires.
But you need a 5x5.5 BP that wimpy 5x4.5BP doesn't cut it.

Tempting. Washington isn't too far out of the way to Moab. I'll talk to the wife and see if she thinks it's a good idea. (insert sarcasm here)

Yep it's only like 13 hours from my house to Moab and you're a long days drive or 1.5 days drive to here from Sac.

Buy her some more camera gear and she'll be distracted and won't notice you're little detour.

 

[bobthetj03]

I think we are well past intervention for this thread.

 

[Wildman]

If the wife has any issues just have her call me.... I promise to not get you into too much trouble.

But she'll need a new credit card with no limit since she's gunna smoke it since it's used so much.

Swing through Phoenix on the way to Moab and I'll sell you a brand new set of 37" MT/Rs for a smoking good deal
