Where is everyone #5

May as well lift a civic.

 

It all started with the ban of lead paint in ‘78.

 

No comment eh six??

 

A brodozer if ever there was one.

I can't stand those rubber band tires. That truck would look so much better with 12 inches less lift and change the rims over to 18s or 20s. Gotta have about 2-3x more sidewall showing.

 

I love a lifted rig, but it has to be purpose built built. If you lift a truck that high, in order to be able to use it for its purpose, you must widen the wheelbase. That one is stock. It’s too top heavy to be useful.

 

Probably a little short guy too. I agree on tires. And most are not smart enough to put bigger brakes on with bigger wheel tire combo.

3, 4 inches on 33's is enough for a daily driver to get in and out of. Let alone put tools in the bed.

 

My old 2nd gen Ram I put a levelling kit on the front and an extra leaf in the back. 32" tires on stock 16" rims. Looked perfect and out on its own, you could hardly tell it wasn't stock. Park next to another stock 2nd gen and the roof was about 3-4" higher.

 

Use to have a ford bronc...the full size. 79 model. 34in groundhawgs 8 in lift. Looked good.....but trying to get in and out after firewater intake......dang near impossible!!!! LOL

 

This was my answer to the problem. Then I scabed the plastic face of the original panel over the top of the metal. Put the dash and stuff back together over the top. Drilled and taped all the holes with 8-32 and it’s tough as nails. The right side has 2x 1/2” bar down to the bottom bracing to the firewall. I forgot to take a picture once all back together but it looks normal. We’ve all seen that before. Replaced the brake valves while I was in there which was the original work order.

 

Guy I sometimes work with is tearing this 07 T600 apart to put the drivetrain in a 97 T600 he got without a drivetrain. He thinks it’s just going to drop right in. Neither truck has seen the road in over 3 years. So yes, he is going to put an acert in a 97.
