Front and LCAs. for the bling with the new bumper since they'll be visible.

 

Nice!

I got ricochet aluminum LCA skids

 

ya i dont have any front skids as of now. but that'll change next friday!

 

I tried installing my skids. And I ended up spending more time driving my dad's Rav4 running to the store than I did under the truck so I got mad and hulk smashed some things lol

 

My live isn't posting. Fak

 

I've had your body lift in my back pocket for like 6 months Alex

 

Lol about time you installed it

 

want mine. also hoping my skids go smoother...

 

Got my diff drop in. Was easy but the bolts were way too long. That line is where the top of the bracket is. That's how long it was lol.

 

Yeah good luck man!

And damn I'm getting some good demand for these now

 

Headers done yet? What's the hold up?

 

FUCKING MOTHER FUCKER


$226.24

 

Wow

 

If you didnt have bud luck, you wouldnt have any.

 

I agree Sam. At least I have luck with my suspension... Sorta. Whilst dodging eyefuls of sand, rust and salt falling from above me, I noticed that my bushings in the LCAs are beyond fucked. Lol

 

Got em finished up... Or at least the passenger side. I'm out of time for today to start the driver side.

 

Oh yeah and I had an interesting time lining up the gasket because all the studs came out... Ordered new ones for next weekend


I was like "YES the nut broke free!!!" Then I was like "god damn it... But YAY NOT SNAPPED OFF!!!!"

 

Got my O2 sim installed and zip tied too. No CEL or anything and I can already hear a difference. Smells different too haha

 

Pics of lcas? I suspect my bushings are bad too. I may do the whole arms soon

 

I'm done gettin under the truck today. They're cracked and deformed.

I'm just gonna go cry in the shower now. Don't mind me.

 

Total Chaos :ballin:

 

Someday....

 

Those AFR sensors come cross threaded from the factory I think. I went through the same struggles with my header install. They sound mean though, even with the stock catback.

 

Why the fuck would they cross thread them!? So they can be like "dur hur this snapped off while we were changing your oil, that'll be $5,000!"

I found another denso for the drivers side (I'm just gonna start new. Save the hassle.) for $109 online.

For now I'm just running with one LT header and one stock one lol.

You can notice the low tone and the grumble it gives. Me likey! I have a magnaflow welded in and I deleted my rear resonator. It's gonna sound BURLY with no more hissing and both headers installed

 

I guess they really don't want people messing with the stock parts lol

I ended up driving around for 2 days with all 4 bungs on the headers open. My headers didn't come with the lower bung plugs. That sound was just too awful for words.

Yours should sound good. Going to get a Y pipe next?

 

I wish CA wasnt such Nazi on this type of stuff. Would love to do headers on mine. Also wish there was a FKN tune.

 

The laws don't stop most people anyway. The roadside emissions sniffers are pretty damn nazi though. I actually want to go supercharged. I'm just having trouble sorting out my LCA problems.

 

true, i just dont want to deal with swapping everything. I put a "CAI" on and thats about as far as i want to swap every 2 years.

 

Mine came with the plugs thank god!

I can tell it's gonna sound amazing!

I dunno about the Y pipe. A little more than I want to spend and no real difference between stock and the URD one, so I'll say no for now haha. Especially when I wheel hard (they don't call my truck the trail groomer for no reason) and I don't want a $600 squashed Y-pipe...

Then again with my no emissions testing in MA... I might just get rid of all my cats and laugh at Sam every time I stomp on it.

Yeahhhhh... With what I went through today, the only reason these are coming off is if I get a whole new exhaust that brings magical horsepower lol. Once they're on, they're on. That's why I'm not investing in the titanium studs or anything. I don't plan on caring if the studs rust or not.
