the wookies blue mare

Post by wookiee156 »

So now that I figured out how to post pics on the site I can finnaly get around to starting my build thred :lol: !!! I'm poorer than Kenny's family so this may take alonggggg time but it will be fun right ?!?! But I diregress plans for her are as follows

Front
C&T kit (solo or threat) still on the fence on that one
Upgrade to fox 2.5 race coilovers
88 glass on front

Rear
Devers (duh!?!?! :lol: )
Under bed shock mount (backseat has a purpose)
Raptor rear shocks unless I can find a fox external bypass cheaper I'm poor rember

I do have some other ideas as far as cage chase boxes tool storage etc. But here are some pics

Update!!!! The teardown has begun and dam Alaska in the late 80s early 90s was harsh (whoever thought it was a good idea to use salt on roads needs to drug on salty roads and shot in all their joints then the head) but I dirgress paps and I pulled the front end apart this weekend and dam now I know why these shops charge so much for installation (especially with my dominant hand in a sling) anyway hopefully these pictures post any feedback on what else I need to replace while I’m at it would be appreciated

ya so this is what my local alignment shop charged me $100 to do and they tried to tell me that I needed to put drop brackets on my desolate c&t beams plus they say that -3degres is in spec ya little pissed!!
Called Greg at Desolate Motorsports and he took timeout of his day to help me out on the phone #bestbroncoshopever the best part is I flipped the cam and voila they match so I guess I’m an alignment dude any measurements from the peanut gallery will be appreciated
Ps I noticed a 1.5” difference in full droop between driver and passenger side cam that be my problem?

The passenger side and driverside beams are different lengths so they will have different angles at droop. Although your shocks should limit the droop.
