83 Jdm as flop build, ditched the 88

[mattlosch]

and thanks, i love my dodge, its alot of fun, no to many vehicals can you daily, run 13's, sled pull, and tow 20k with....

[toyotanner]

i would almost keep it that blue... drab green and flat black are played out... but if you like it you like it.

[mattlosch]

yeah im not sure... i just wanted to black it out so it matchs my dodge lol, but i think it will look alot better without all that silver on the bed and bumper, i think imma paint those black first then see how it looks .....

[axled89]

good call on the paint every thing else first then the truck.

[mattlosch]

yeah thats what i will do plus replacing the diamond plate with sheet metal, i think it will look 100% better, cause i am not happy with the looks right now...

and what should i do about lowering it a little?? i think its to top tippy, or is that just how it is with these?? i was hoping to maybe go 3-4 inchs lower with a little bigger tire, im going to loss articulation though huh

[toyotanner]

i would get the bigger tires first then you can decide how much lower you can go and what you  need to trim to get the tires to stuff

but definately paint the bumpers and bed and sliders black that will help alot... i dunno why but i think your truck would look sick like a flat white... but maybe thats just me

[axled89]

what lift do you have now? how many inch

[mattlosch]

my buddies and i were talkin a flat white too lol i have a buddy who paints cars for a living so i can do it for free...

i have trail gear 4'' front and 5'' rear springs wiht 5'' shackels...

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

ya man hit me up when your ready for a new bumper I will hook ya up with a good deal! I can do the single bend stinger as well!

[mattlosch]

im ready for one lol mine broke off at browns that night and browns lol

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

alright cool you want 1 1/2" tube or 1 3/4? any winch capable? anything in mind? I can start on it monday when the steel place is open to get some tube...

[mattlosch]

well im not 100% sure what i want yet... thinkin of narrowing the front and building something very similar to yours so it might have to wait a little while til i get the front narrowed... just want a single stinger with no winch mount... how much we lookin??
