That's the best looking bumper! I'm ordering mine next month! I'm gonna pass these pics on to my welding guy if you don't mind. Looks so good
 
Bumper looks good DD, Ive been pretty happy with mine so far!
 
Replaced the parking brake bellcranks this weekend. Drivers side was froze up, so I just rebuilt both sides. Unfortunately found what froze up the bellcrank... dissimilar metals mixed with oil from my rear axle :bang: Looks like I’ll have to get the whole assembly pressed, so will probably do the wheel bearing at the same time.

Also as @atnolan94 already spoiled in his Build thread, my stock rack is gone! Pictures are being saved until I can clean the rig up later this week.

Heading to Colorado this weekend!
 
Curious.... why have two different sets of shocks?
If you’re asking why I upgraded my rear shocks, well it was to do completely that, upgrade them.

I went from a 41mm foam cell shock that was a great shock (I can’t stress that enough), but for the different loads and terrain my rig sees, I wanted some more adjustability. In stepped the larger 45mm foam cell adjustable Tough Dog absorber, which allowed me to dial my ride in perfectly. The only reason I didn’t go with the 45mm in the first place was because Jason was out of stock at the time.

Heading to Colorado this weekend!

My Build thread isn't as exciting as your build thread....no one will notice :meh:

:D
 
Got back from Colorado a few days ago! Unfortunately this trip was more friend/work related, so I didn't get to do anything fun with the cruiser :( However, it was a very successful trip that will lead towards more adventures!

If you've been following my build, or know me personally, you may remember that I am currently in school. Well thanks to copious amounts of alcohol and caffeine, I am finally graduating and moving on with my life. With that being said, I gotta pay the bills somehow, so this past week I met with several companies in the Denver area for interviews and what-not. Not even a week later, I'm proud to report that I have landed a job in Denver and will be moving up there this summer!

Other than that, the trip was fairly uneventful, mainly consisting of some snowboarding and roaming around the city. I got to meet up with a good buddy of mine who I just convinced to get a 100 series. Unfortunately, I have yet to convince him to register on mud (he claims he's too busy), so I will save the introduction for later. On to the pics!

I figured it was about time I took some shots with the headlights on, and I wasn't too disappointed.

Also who doesn't love a good garage pic ;)

Work on the cruiser might slow down some as I focus more on finishing school and moving, but I'll still be satisfying the itch in some way. I think this weekend's chore will be painting the grill, that chrome stands out :eek:
 
Do you have any side views of that bumper? Wondering how far it sticks out from fender. Thx!

Edit: forgot manufacturer

I can probably find one or take one, not sure specifically what you are wanting though. Do you mean how far the bumper sticks out from the face of the fender? Or how the end of the bumper meets with the corner of the fender?

Manufacturer is 4x4 Labs

Did you decide on matte or gloss for the grille?
 
@DirtDawg congrats on the move!
I was there for 10 Months and hope to move back soon. Be sure to join Rising Sun. A lot of good guys

Still not sure on that. Will probably hold up some samples and see what vibes the best.
 
Congrats on the Job! Denver is awesome, what industry you in?

I like the smoked look on those lights, is that just sprayed? Also on the headlights, did you black out the surrounds when you did the upgrade?

Really liking it all. I have my grill off right now trying to figure out what to do with it.

Yes, curious on how far it sticks out from grill. Some look like they have a fat lip hanging out... lol

Man, your headlights look amazing. This is by far the best looking LX headlight conversion I have ever seen, and haven't even seen the light output! Did you do anything special to paint the housing? Is it just flat black spray paint? Did you scuff it up first?

Tell me about the LED halos? I haven't seen any pictures of them turned on.

Fantastic job.
