Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Nice truck.
You going to run the lights on top of the cab for awhile? That would throw a few people off.

Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Hey thanks blazer86, that was me I got a letter next the very next day about it from my HOA......
conundrum, I thought the same thing I was gonna run the light, I really liked them when I bought the truck but as I stared at the truck for a little while I decided they needed to come off, didn't really go with the look I'm goin for..... (puropedo)I got some more pics I'll see what I can find.

Re: Project "BOWDWN"
The rear suspension has a pan hard bar or watts link I would guess? I like how you did the links. Simple and clean.
Keep the pics coming! |

Re: Project "BOWDWN"
Hey thanks guys for your replys and questions, sorry I haven't replied to some of you guys but I've been busy with my truck and family business.......
Higgiec10 I got those the 2 links from suicide doors and brackets also the links are 32" long from center of hole in link ends. (Sqrdy) the plates are from nate from porterbuilt, I liked the plates for the looks but they keep you from goin all the way down... Orange animal, I installed a panhard bar on my truck, I still haven't taken a picture of it but I will soon I just recently installed it aswell as the shocks front and back and painted the frame and soon to start working on the bed within a week or so. I still have plenty of pics that I need to upload and I will keep them coming as soon as I can. STAY TUNED.................
