It still wouldn’t drive straight and the positive camber was freaking terrible. Well a few days, multiple alignments and $600 bucks later, I had my truck back. There was no way my truck would have made the trip back home, so I sucked up my pride and paid a shop to replace them. Being down at school, I didn’t have the proper tools (grinder, air hammer, etc.) to replace the factory ball joints. The truck needed an alignment terribly and ball joints replaced. So I just threw a few bolts in that were long enough to sick out the other side and put lock nuts on, I just wouldn’t use 4wd. I figured out I didn’t have 4 wheel drive due to all of the bolts on the driver side CV axle had either sheared off or backed themselves out. So I crawled under it and started checking things out. Roughly March 2013: After the recent incidents, my truck seriously needed a whole lot of love and work. And replaced them with a single 15” Powerbass ported box, powered by a Crunch 1400 watt 2 channel AB class amp, with an old 3.5 Farad Cap I had lying around. I needed money anyway so I sold the Type X’s. That amp had always given me problems, even before my truck, and blew a few caps and transistors inside. So a couple of the first mods I did in January 2011 was a new Alpine headunit with a complete system and a cb radio a little bit later.If I remember correctly, First system was 2 12” Alpine Type X in a sealed box on the back seat, with a 2500 watt Crunch Class D amp. Basically, I knew my way around audio systems. Now back before the truck, I had the Honda civic and was quite into the "car audio" scene. As well as the tonneau cover, turned around and sold it for 50 bucks. Wheels/Tires: Stock saw blades, and Michelin LTX M/S 265/75R16įirst thing I did to the truck was take the front mud-flaps off, that rubbed with stock 265’s. Transmission: 5 speed with Overdrive, NV3500 Model: K1500 Extended Cab Short bed, Z71 package After the longest minutes of my life, I walked out of there with the keys TO MY TRUCK!!! I was pretty freaking excited and proud of myself for working my butt off for this beauty. The next morning came, went straight to the bank and took out 2600 in cash, I had made from working at the local McDonalds. I was able to talk my cousin into letting me to take it home for the night to rethink it over and make sure this was what I wanted to go through with. It was everything I had been looking for, minus the 5-speed, that was just an added bonus. So after the initial look over, My Dad and I took off for a test drive. Only a few bad parts including a rusty passenger fender, random primer patches on the bed and of course high miles. You must be registered for see images attach
