    Yeah I need to readjust my projectors. Ever since I bumped up the front end, my headlights have been blinding everyone. I feel bad but I don't have the time

    I've wheeled with him once on a snow run... It's crazy heavy and not practical for any actual trail. I asked what he did for a living and he told me he was an Armorer. For the money that he has into it, I could have built my truck 3 times over, or just built it once and started racing Ultra4 lol. Nice guy but we didn't talk much.

    Thats what I got out of it, but another forum friend had texted me about something and I'm not sure how it came up, but he told him he was unemployed, so i have no clue. I just figure he's got a trust fund. Don't matter to me, I just don't understand why he would't just SAS it and build it to the hilt, even if he doesn't actually wheel it. He will have fun running 40's, but it will be laughable if he takes it off pavement.

    5100s and fox coilovers are the same you know. just like retreads and km2s are the same, and we also have never gone over the v6 vs v8 debate

    Unless his kids have already moved out. Highly doubtful. And if he is he needs to get his priorities in order.

    Hell, my friend sold his Ducati and traded up for a big bmw shortly after getting married and his wife getting pregnant. This guy makes more than enough money to keep the Ducati whilst taking care of his family too.

    I know I would live somewhere a hell of a lot nicer than Oakland if I had that kind of money...

    Should do it before someone chases you down on the freeway to try and run you off the road. Ask me how I know.

    I've always just thought people over there seem fascinated with getting more lift per $ over shock performance. Figured that's why someone would be possessed to put spacers on shocks with 180k on them. When I read that 6" lift thread and the guy went off on how its such good value versus Icon only because of lift height, I just about died laughing.

    I don't get people that are unhappy with the 3-4" lift range, outside of db and body lifts. If you want it to be at a trucks ride height, buy one

    Dip or vinyl?

    I don't understand people that want to fit huge tires but don't want to even attempt to cut off a centimeter of plastic or remove mud flaps

    Oh and, for the bitches y'know...

    If they offered a stage .5 DB lift without the retardedly large spacers I'd bet you could get extended rod ends on your Icon's

    I don't think you ever said it, but what made you decide to get the mother of all soccer mom vehicles?

    I had a 98 Sierra that I basically fixed everything on but one day the cam position sensor went out on highway. I didn't trust it after. Was a great truck, I impulse bought the t4r. I've liked the body style before but I got caught up in the deal and regretted it as soon as I went home. It's a great vehicle and fun but it's not a truck and I'll always regret it.
    I've always had trucks and I never gave this one a chance. You've all seen my red one but here the sierra I had previously.

    Yeah I will adjust them soon!

    And that mentality is the same as running a 6" drop bracket lift with the 6" spacer blocks on the tops of the stock coil overs.... It's just for looks, not for performance

    Keep it and get another truck. If it's paid, why not keep it
