Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
So I got the bumper and winch installed. And Wayne was right there were about 500 bolts. Had to install the bumper before the lift to see how much the front would drop. It went down almost an inch and feels pretty spongy. So I ordered bilstien adjustable coilovers to make the lift the right height once installed.

There's this really cool taco downtown that I see whenever I go to the med center. I'll post pics later as they're on my laptop. One of the coolest modern built trucks I've seen in a while.

You don't see many modern trucks done like this here so I figured you could use the inspiration. :D

Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
Nice truck for sure. But dont distract me with that, I'm trying to build a mallcrawler here!! Started on the lift today, should be finished tomorrow. Nobody told me how expensive it is to build a mallcrawler though. Im about $6k into this thing and ive barely paid the first payment. BTW more overpriced parts came in today.

Jim, you have been spoiled by your XJ. Others seem to be more dollars

Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
Well I've installed all the parts I have right now. Lift, wheels/tires, coilovers, bumper, winch, LED KC fog lights, and new stereo system. Time to buy more parts!!
Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
I will say it was one of the most difficult lifts I have installed. Therefore I can't be a real mall crawler. Cause one once told me the reason people say "Built not bought" is because they can't afford to have it built. Wrong!

Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
Quick update. I got rid of the bed cap and installed a bed rack. Put on a new rear bumper as well as a few lights. This truck is starting to turn into more of an expedition type rig rather than a mallcrawler. But we'll see what comes next.
Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
Nice rack! Bumper looks good too!

Re: Gonna build a mallcrawler
I think they usually turn out looking better as expedition rigs anyways... Either way looking good Jim!!
