Yeah, hanger is stock, no shims on the front, it's just 4* off, but no death wobble either.

of course, when you don't drive it on the road very much, who cares about 4*.

Surprisingly it doesn't shake at all though. Made it from Rubicon to Tracy no shakes.
I really think it is the BB's in the tires.

Yep, it's where my wife started out, and eventually ended up going back to.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #2198 on:** Apr 11, 2008, 08:19:38 AM »

So I dropped my bumper off at my cousin's work and he is going to see if he can powdercoat it today. He might not have the time, but if he does, it'll look pimp.

Sounds good. The only thing that has really changed is everything north of Grant Line and west of Corral Hollow.
In the next 5 years they are putting in a golf course and resort/condos in the fields south of eleventh before lammers.

Or maybe not...I'm sure you could get some black nail polish while you're there.

J/K.....It looks pretty SICK!

DeadlyPeace · « **Reply #2207 on:** Apr 11, 2008, 10:41:51 PM »

Look good on there.

Now you just need to polish up the truck so it matches the bumper

I thought about doing the doors, but those get messed up quick. Besides, then I would want to do the sliders, and I'm not cutting those off!
