My new to me Green 1999 LC (2 Viewers)

[ElHefe]

Does that box say 2860 X?

 

[smileyboy]

@ElHefe Yes, I went with 860s instead of the 865s

 

[ElHefe]

Nice. Same here. You'll probably have them on before me. Which exact shocks are you going with (part number and price)?

 

[smileyboy]

Sure, the fronts are
Ironman Foam cell 24795FE
Rears: Ironman Foam Cell 24796FE

I got them from Metaltech.com and used the ih8mud code for 5% off.

Green always looks good on a LC!

So... I took my 860s back to Slee and got the 865s. I can always sell them if and when I upgrade. Also my Foam Cell shocks came too!!! Schweetness!

 

[ElHefe]

Why did you swap out? Too tall?

 

[smileyboy]

Yes, 865 seem more popular here, plus my rig is more for traveling/adventure and I wanted to fit in my garage.

 

[smileyboy]

Really having trouble deciding... Thinking about grabbing the 860, I was told the 865s only give 1 inch of lift

 

[smileyboy]

So I had my ironman shocks and rear springs installed. Stock torsion bars...It rides amazing!!! It feels balanced and sporty and def NOT harsh. I'm happy with my choice! I get my tires on tomorrow and next week the bumper gets fabbed!

Little bit of stinkbug till the torsion bars and diff drop go on.

 

[yotasavg]

So which coils did you end up with? I'm confused.. Looks really good though!

 

[smileyboy]

I went with the 860s. Just put the tires on.

Sweet looking '99! Mines a '99 with Ironman shocks too. My wife said she's getting jealous when I call it baby. Enjoy!

 

[smileyboy]

@whitemule how long have you had them, which shocks did you go with?

So after putting the 295/75/18s on. I noticed some rubbing from the tire on the inside fender well... So I got the OME torsion bars installed. I'll be picking it up from the shop on Tuesday and I'm hoping for a bumper install before the week is out. After everything I've read....I'm leaning toward a Slee bumper.

We shall C!

Nice truck !

Check out bump it off road for bumpers. They make great stuff and are fully customizable. The slee stuff is great too but can only have it exactly as made.

 

[smileyboy]

@fireball. Thx! I'll check them out.

Got the Cruiser back. I'm loving it. Ironman shocks make it soooooooo smooth. Now to find a bumper.

 

[smileyboy]

So, I was hoping to add a Ironman deluxe bumper and winch before Cruiserfest. But I think it will have to wait.
I had to buy a new passenger mirror because the motor failed.
Also, I bought stainless steel brake lines and HAWK HPS pads all around. It's not stopping very well. I'm going to do the brakes in stages and see where I see the most improvement.



I'm going to try and order the bumper, but it don't think it will be here in time.
Also, I measured the Hundy and it sits at 22 inches. I'm going to drop it an inch and see if that makes any difference on highway handling. It's a little squirrelly.

Picked up some 18 Tundra TRD rims for $100.... Now to find some tires. I'm reading good things about the Duratracs

I'm wanting to buy the biggest tires I can get on a stock truck .... but I'm not sure if they will look ok after I do the 2.5 medium Slee lift..... More searching

Nicely done. Just this change makes early year 100's look awfully close to the 06-07's.

 

[offroadkid]

Great rig and color choice, I really like the Imperial Jade Mica! We had a green 98 with gray interior, with 295 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I dug through some pics to find one to share!

 

[smileyboy]

I got the HAWK HPS pads and all 5 stainless steel lines installed. Brakes are waaaay better!! Wow

I started ordering parts for my iPad Mini instalk. I plan to put it in the dash. I can't decide if I want to keep a radio or not..

Ironman bumper and winch are the next items.
