Looks good. It's a lot of work to get down to bare steel, but it's worth it. Nice work.

[Thomas Young]

Finally got some wheelin this weekend
at disney OK

That is a good looking bumper. Does having the bedliner and stuff help with the interior noise an appreciable amount or can you really even tell?

 

[Thomas Young]

I cant tell any difference in sound.

I finally got my lift on and straightened out. The tuff country lifted 5" in front and 2" in back. I couldnt handle it looking like a dog scootin its @SS on the carpet. So I got a diy4x shakle flip and dropped the tcase. Finished it off with some shims, the driveline is kinda short but livable for now. Then I got to put on my cheap new wheels and 35" falken wildpeak at3

Good looking k5

 

[Thomas Young]

Thanks

 

[jekquistk5]

What bedliner did you spray?

 

[Thomas Young]

had some called Nexera leftover from other jobs which is like raptor liner and it wasnt very good. So the body will be in raptor liner when summer rolls around

I had a York 210 style ac compress fall into my hands. Im not going to let this pass, so the research began. After building the mount bracket, which had a few revisions. I couldnt find a manifold that suited me, so I just built my own. I spent the last several nights plumbing and wiring. When I was building the rear bumper I made it air tight for a tank.

How do you like the Falken Wildpeaks so far? I’ve been looking for new tires and for as much as I drive mine right now, I do t need anything high dollar. I’ve been looking at those, Nitto Terra Grappler G2, Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 and the Falken wildpeak M/T. I really like the Falken M/T’s!

I have about 3000 miles on them and seem to wear good so far. Offroad they are ok on rocky terrain and I havent tried mud. Not much road noise either, so Im happy. They're great for a daily driver but ok for offroading.
