Taylor_allen92 build thread!! Pic heavy!

Thanks bro! I wanna hear that supercharger whine I'm trying to decide if I want to do camo seat covers or save up and get king ranch seat skins or have someone make very close copies.

Started rewiring my 100 watts behind my grill today. Still have a little work to do, but I'm getting there! Will post pictures when it's done!

 

A good solid 5.4 would do you a lot of good. A locker will also give you more power IMO, you have 50/50 split between two wheels, not one wheel or the other. Hands down one of the best buys I bought for my truck. Shoulda done it a looooong time ago.

what 100W lights are you running?

 

Think you just won me over haha but they are just the two 6"s behind the grill. The lenses are from Harbor Freight and the bulbs are Autozone No hellas... Eventually will be replacing those two with a small light bar (as you can see I love LEDs!)

 

I vote camo. I don't think those tan KR seat covers would flow to well with the grey interior. Thats just imo though.

 

This is true... That's kinda what I was afraid of :/

But I got the 100 watts all wired up! But forgot to pick up some 20 amp fuses... Literally the only thing holding me back!! Will post pics when it's finished.

But my newest thing I've been seriously thinking about is a new paint job. I'm not really feelin the white and grey anymore... No offense Jarret I think I'm gonna go with black, yes the exact opposite of my current color haha

Example pictures: minus any pin stripping....

 

mines all white, my girlfriend Lauren has the white and tan. Black can look good, my brothers taco is all black..

 

Black can look good, but only when its clean. Its hard to paint, not get any swirls in, keep scratches out of, and it shows every flaw.

I think the Tri-color White of the Limiteds or the new Terrain on the raptors would be a sick color.

 

My last truck was white and the one I have now is black. I've had no complaints going from a white truck to a black truck. I think you'll love it, just remember theres no hiding scratches on a black truck. haha

 

That's what scares me! But it would be take care of well I really like that raptor though! I obviously will need to do more research and ask a few of my buddy's that paint for some tips. This wouldn't happen for at least 6 months or so, so I've got time to plan.

Quick question though. I don't see why not but figured I'd ask in case I'm missing something. A guy near me is selling a dana 44 front axle out of his 1996 Dodge 1500 for $200, any reason that wouldn't work for a SAS? I'm not sure if there are any minor differences from a ford to a dodge as far as the Dana 44 goes that would cause more trouble than its worth?

 

It would work fine for tires up to about 35", it all depends on how hard you wheel off road.
If you've got a welder and plasma cutter you could fab up a 4-link front that would work great. Otherwise you've got to do leafs up front ( like superdutys) and that may give you a stiffer ride.

I can't remember what side the driveshaft is on with the dudges. Make sure its the same as the ford.
