we live on raintree...used to see an blue chebby w/ a grey hood all the time like the 1st or 2nd street on the right. it was at a couple meetings, i assume it was you.
nope, i didnt live there. but some of my buddies lived on shiloh. might have seen me there.
well this is now not an issue. found out from my dad this weekend that he know a guy that works for superlift that can get me a deal at close to half of retail so i'm goin with that.
Or you could spend that money on a small rig and KEEP YOUR DAILY DRIVER NICE!
well, now with my dad's connection i can get my truck completly lefited for under a grand. for the same money i could buy a pos little truck and have to put another grand into it to get it to where i could take it off road.
And it would be damn worth it and much more fun! Have fun with whatever you do, I'm just talking from experience and trying to help.
1988 Blazer...RIP
don't forget gearing (probably $800 at the end of the day) and tires
i agree w/ eric. if you're not going to do anything cool, for jebus sake dont put an IFS lift on it. spend the $$ on a beater. I'VE BEEN THERE DOOD. dont f*ck w/ your DD or you'll regret it later. sure, you're going to get the lift at half price...but does you dad know someone that works for Randy's R&P, or BFG?? you're still going to spend $2K lifting a rig that wont be as capable as you'd like off-road.
well his company does alot of business with both summit and 4wheel parts so i can get him to get cheap stuff from both of them.
dude, i'm not trying to bust your chops or anything really....but i cannot stress enough how much i advise against this idea. you'll be happier in the long run not having to drive your trail vehicle every day. how much are you thinking you're going to spend on this project? i've got time to kill, i'll find you a beater in that price range.
well among the things that i have to keep in consideration is that over the next 2~3 years i'm gonna be moving around alot and wont be able to be hualing around an extra vehicle. also, after i get to virginia (sometime before dec) i'll have access to on base auto shops. they are pretty much hooked up with any tool you can think of, and i can use it for free so repairs will only cost me price of parts. third, i dont really want to spend my money on another truck...i bought mine to drive it, if i **** it up i'll fix it and keep going. trade in value is not a big deal to me cause i'm gonna drive it till it dies
