SaKaNa Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Monday at 8:45 I'm dropping all that and my Pathy off at my mechanic, then walking two blocks to where I am now (work), then they're going to work on it all day, then by the time I'm done at work at 5, it'll be done!

19pathy97 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm looking to buy the Bilstein shocks by themselves but I can't find them on AC or anywhere else. I just need the part # from those shocks, if you could help me out, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 OK OK OK. Here the pics are. I ran into a few problems. Lift installation went perfect. Cost $255 for installing the front, $200 for the back. Yea I know its alot, but I'd rather have it done in a couple hours, and done RIGHT than me try doing it and $#&% it up completely. So interesting story, I had been having some issues getting my engine to start lately, so I leave my mechanic's lot, drive home... Go to start my engine again later -- starter was completely dead. Cost me $300-some for a new one with installation and a lifetime warranty, but its a million times better now. Slowly becoming the ugly beast that could.... Anyway, to the pics: Pre-lift Post lift Getting a bit better every day. I also replaced a smashed bumper corner and bumper, AND corner light, and mounted two more lights on my brush guard. The official test is this weekend... We'll see how it goes. Oh, and nissandoms: I dont wanna hear it :tonguefinger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXbeachpathy Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I had mine done at a shop for the same reasons, but honestly, $200 for the rear!?!?!?! When I replaced the lift springs and shocks a year after they were originally installed, it took me 30 minutes in the driveway. Then I replaced the spring again a third time in another 30 minutes. If you do it again, I suggest doing it yourself, it couldn't be much easier. But, all that aside, it looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have almost no tools, and very limited knowledge of how this stuff works, so this is a learning process here, but I didnt want to learn about what happens when shocks, struts, etc decide to come off when you're on a highway, so I felt it was better for my mechanic to do it. And yea, $200 front, $250 rear. Its a guy who seems to have unbeatable prices on everything, I didnt know if $450 was alot, but whatever -- sand in the wind man.

csutke Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 are those lights up top mounted to your cross bar from your roof rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yea. I see no reason to spend $100 on a lightbar that does the exact same thing, so I figured I'd give it a try, I went out and got a pile of the cheapest lights I could find (in case it didnt work), drilled 4 holes, bolted right in, and since it really made it look better I just left em there. Theyre wired into the stock fog light switch. I'm pretty good at coming up with mods without wasting alotta cash on em, gives you more money for the important things like a lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 u painted max's tail light guards......please get rid of all that chrome...it would look a helluva lot better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Or ditch the brush guard lol. $250 for the rear wtf. You dont really need any tools except a 17,19,21mm and a ratchet and a fat person to stand on the drum to get the springs in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
