  1. Once we get a definite price and a deadline on when the money needs to be sent, I'll be in on this as well.
  2. They're 22" replica's. And the drop is a 3/4, all Belltech equipment. Spindles and keys in the front, shackles and hangers in the rear. Thanks for the kind words. I'll get more pictures up when I get back to it in January. I've been without her for almost a month now, and I miss it
  3. So, a little backstory first. My wife and I are both in the military (Go Navy), and we've been stationed out here at NAS Whidbey Island for the last 6 years in northwest Washington. We'll be transferring to Virginia in January. Now there's no way my truck will make it across the country in January being 2WD, so last month a friend and I drove it back to my parents house in Pennsylvania. We started in Oak Harbor, WA on a Wednesday morning and made it to Erie, PA late Thursday night. We drove 40 hours straight, only stopping for gas and food. That's the last time I'll ever do that. Anyway, the reason for the rush was the last car show of the year was going on in my home town that Friday. We made it in plenty of time to get the truck all washed and detailed. One more tidbit of information: my father and I have owned a '69 C-10 stepside for the last 20 years or so, and we spent two years restoring it before I left for the military. It's still in the family and in great shape. She was out at the show, too. Just thought you guys would enjoy a picture of the two sitting side by side for the first time
  4. Damn, dude, sorry to hear about your misfortune. I really feel for you. I'm always paranoid that something like this is gonna happen to me because of the area I live in. It's not a nice area. But I promise it'll be a worse day for them if I catch them. I hate thief's. I hope your insurance company helps you out. Good luck, homie.
  5. What's gonna make the ride quality go down? I'm not cranking down on the keys at all, just bringing the front down about another 1/2". I plan on going through Mr. P's write up on drilling some holes on the front bump stops. What's the issue gonna be, so maybe I can fix it before it gets bad?
  6. I'll make this quick, seeing as I need a quick answer. I have a 2/4 drop right now. Ordering torsion bar keys to level it out. First time after the drop, my alignment guy said it's adjusted about as far out as he would like to see it. Next time, alignment kit. I just need a simple answer here: Which Belltech kit do I need? I search on their site and it comes up with three different ones. BEL-4951 BEL-4955 BEL-4957 Which do I need for my 06 Intimidator SS? Thanks in advance for the information.
  7. I have my original 20's that came off of my '06 ISS. I've been looking to get rid of them, just haven't taken the time to post them up for sale. PM me if you're still looking for a set.
  8. Any chance you have a link to where you obtained said keys? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
  9. So I'm running a whole Belltech setup consisting of spindles, shackles, hangars, and all SP shocks. This gives me the standard 2/4 drop, if memory serves me correctly. I want to bring the front end down one more inch. I was thinking of adding torsion bar keys found here. Anyone here run spindles and keys up front? Will this work out alright? Anything I need to be worried about?
  10. I keep getting pulled over for having tinted LED taillights. So today, I went to put factory lights back in. I still had all the old bulbs, and they all worked, except for one of the side marker ones. The aftermarket LED taillights didn't utilize this connector, it was just plugged into a free spot on the housing to keep it secure. So anyway, I ran to the store and got some new side marker bulbs. My problem is: the driver side one doesn't like to work properly. As soon as I turn the key to accessory, my driver side turn signal comes on, and stays illuminated. If I hit the turn signal, it blinks once and still stays illuminated. When I hit the 4-ways, everything flashes just fine. So I'm wondering if there is a relay I should check, or a fuse somewhere? I was looking around the fuse block under the hood, and I couldn't find a fuse or relay labeled specifically enough to connect it to the side markers. Anyone have any insight on this?
  11. Just ordered my shift kit! Based it off of the write-up in the How-To. Can't wait!

  12. I'm really confused. I bought HID's. I have them in for my low beams already. I have a set for my high beams, but before I put them in, I need to know a couple of things. First: Are our DRL's run off of the high beams? I've heard some makes of cars run the high beams at half power to act as DRL's. Is this true for ours? If not, cool, it'll be easy to throw these in and not have to worry about anything. Second: Is it vital to disable the auto-light-on feature? The feature that turns on your headlights when it gets dark, you know what I mean. How important is it that I disable that? If it's absolutely necessary, how do I do it? Third: I wanna do the 4-hi-beam mod! Not really a question, just looking for suggestions about the best way to go about it. I saw the write-up, so ignore this. I think that's all I have for now... I'll edit if I think of more.
  13. Oh, that's awesome. I'm down here in Oak Harbor. Good to know there's more people in the area than I knew of.
  14. Anyone on this forum live in Washington? I'm active duty Navy, and I've been stationed in NW Washington for six years now. I bought my truck earlier this year, and I'm starting to get into the modding scene a bit. I'm just wondering if anyone else here lives up my way. I really hate that most of you live either down in CA or back in the midwest. I'm originally from PA, and I had a lot of resources. Out here, there just isn't much as far as custom cars/trucks go. Makes it tough to get with someone about doing work on my ISS.
