cone filter for ATF? lol yeah, I'll take a look at that!

Yeah, drop spindles allow a drop without softening the spring rate (which is what cranking the torsions do)



what front bumper is this?!

 

I would say an Australian and/or European bumper

Yeah, but I bet I have a MUCH better ride than you do.

 

im really digging the bumper lol. It's probably one of those bumper I'd prefer over teh 4WD bumper I have.

Yeah, you definitely do. I gotta say Dave, don't ride on bumpstops how much were they?

 

My drop spindles? $227 on stylintrucks.com. For those and the 4 Toxic drop shocks, I paid $408 including shipping.

 

U dnt need to big of a hammer. just gotta kno how to use it. I was using probly a 2-3lb mini sledge wen i beat the tub in a bit.

 

a fairly good sized ball peen works wonders as well. it centralizes the force to the small spot and stretches it out. then after you have a bunch of low spots, you hit those and then go back to the mini sledge. and the larger ones cant really get a swing in there. some area are a pain. another trick is jack it up, let the tire still touch the ground, and use a scissor jack on top of the tire to the inner fender.

 

just if your guna hammer remember to either remove the fender or cover it so it dont get fukked

 

id say just be careful. lol. jack it up and remove the tire. that helps alot. i never pull the fenders. everything i do is because its easier than cutting, or pullin panels, or whatever. if i wanted to go all out it wouldnt be a simple daily. lets see yours make some progress.

 

overcast the past week is killing me.
So i made enclosures for my 6x9's

started at like 4:30PM and finished at 11PM

corded highspeed power drill
cutoff disc
drill bits (broke one lol)
some serrated tooth barrel thing
wire brush
leftover can of rustoleum flat black
and a bunch of other stuff to keep things stable




^^ No I didnt even take the time to cut the extra thread...
I placed one small rubber/ metal spacer for each screw. so the metal doesn't rattle.

^^ if you can figure out what is wrong with this, i give you one forum cookie and yes i fixed it afterwards
my finished product.. i think it looks better than nothing


Overall, the quality of sound improved!
first setup (top of thread) was barely 2 screws and pieces of ripped foam....

btw saving my original template saved my ass a ton. helps for drilling holes and all...

i made metal sparks go all over hte fckn place. then realized how much metal dust there was... sigh, cleaned that up too

 

you forgot the 2nd hole on the right side plate??? (bottom right of plate)

 

YUPP!!
Alright Bernie, I put this up on Photobucket for you!


I think i was just really caught up in cutting out the whole entire thing and forgot about that last hole... ticked me off lol.

Otherwise, i need to find my speaker grilles!

 

Now you need to wrap it. Get your material, lay it on the back side and screw everything down, wrap it around, smooth everything out, and then put in your speakers. That would be a really clean installation.

Since you want to impress the ladies, I am thinking Gater.

Hey, Baby, did you see my GATER wrapped panels back there. OOPPS, you dropped your panties.

 

lmao. and dont forget the motorcycle mirror on the passenger floor. if they notice and ask what its for...say its so they can check their makeup. if they bend forward, then you can check out the rest

 

washed truck today and took pictures. then decided to play around with HDR on the photoshop program.




original pics are HUGE

 

took these pictures this morning... took a range of different exposures hoping i could play around with HDR settings in photoshop... but i gave up

 

lol those huge sidewalls still bug me

 

CinNAMmon, did you repaint the 4x4 fenders red or is that primer/spray paint? I suggest you sand that bad boy with 2000 grit and polish it with polishing compound. Then buff it out with the buffer FTW

 

Donations accepted

Yep, I sprayed it red. It's cherry red too, not cardinal... so its barely off, but better than black lol.


I'm such a pic whore.

steelies? did you just speak of such things called steelies?!


Now trying to do same building at night

I realized i frikin failed either cuz of the pole lights or just me.. i need some practice. maybe these 24-70mm "Supersonic" lens are too much lol








Anyway, just practicing with my photography. I must admit, 30-40 degree weather isnt pleasant for cold hands and a hefty set of lens.

 

Whats with the ps2 controller hangin from the door?

 

whats involved in that hefty set of lenses? and what are the specs you are shooting at for those? and yea, the lights are making your life a little tougher. best thing is to try and keep them out of shot. if that doesnt work there are other specs and tricks to do to make them not as bright. and to take away that slight bit of grain your getting.

try turning your iso all the way up. turn the flash compensation of the pop up flash all the way down. open your lens apature all the way to full on apature priority. that should give you a weak flash of light which usually is enough to add foreground light to balance out that background noise some. it also gives you a very fast shutter speed. so handheld even in darker areas is no problem. works really great for portrait work indoors with very little light. if i knew the specs of more than just the camera id give more detailed ideas to try.

also if you get back further, and use a long telephoto, of like a 200-300mm size, and frame the same shot, using a low apature, you can set the focus plane to just barely include the truck. that should both narrow the background scale and pull some of the lights out, and also throw them out of focus. and try using center weighted light metering. and kick the white balance to incandescent. or about 5200. lemme see what all that gets you.
