Holy shit that,would be so badass. I remember watching the diesel brothers do the 4 door 2nd Gen dodge. It was so cool. If they could add just a bit behind the 4 door gmc or Chevy it would looks so badass. With the reclining rear seats too.

Working on my engine transmission swap. Being a Kodiak all the parts that would be slam dunk on the trucks is custom. Y bridge, Turbo inlet, always something custom.

Picked her up from the detail shop after they did the inside!

I'm selling my wheels because I'm over the stretched look and I want to have it leveled and clean on some other wheels but it was fun while it lasted and I know I can get a descent little coin out of these but long story short the detail shop added their personal touch so they are buying one of my new wheels for me. They did an amazing job on the interior but they didn't do an amazing job at miss their garage door frame.

Ouch!


Changed out my sway bar bushings. They were pliable with just my hands, so I'm guessing they were due.

This is very true. I have been trying to see things at face value lately and it feels pretty good to not get too irate over spilled milk (sometimes literally). In my retirement, I promised I wouldn't be as stressed as I was in the Corps. I have every intention on keeping that promise.

My favorite phrase
"Is what it is"
I appreciate the guys integrity, he called right when it happened and was very sincere about it and wanted to buy a new wheel and get it powder coated for free.
The last time something bad happened a popular detail shop in Glacier Park MT cracked my dash board and also got my door speakers wet and popping and then denied it and told me if I believed it was them then take my truck to someone else. Even then i considered it a lesson learned and my wife harped on me for 2 years worth of holidays to get it detailed again and I finally caved and then this wheel incident happened. Guess my lesson learned didn't stick but it will this time! Now I have myself a couple of good testimonies on why to DIY!! Haha

Man, I usually am pretty good at pushing things off or not getting worked up but damn that would eat at me! It's very cool they were willing to take care of it like that but it's just another reason I do damn near all the work on my truck, my self. If I don't, it's a very trusted friend.

But the interior looks nice as hell!!

The glacier park shop is a perfect example of people forgetting the values that make customers return or show up at all.
About an $1,000 mistake.
He really did an awesome job on the interior, once I get my wheel in I still plan on leaving him a great review for his professionalism and diligence to make the repair speedy. Granted it still takes 3 weeks to get a wheel from American Force.
It made a knotty pit in my stomach when he told me what happened.

The only thing I haven't done to my LMM was the paint (before I started painting) and the tuning by Rob, both good experiences!

"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

My HID's turned into light sabers and ruined my fog lights and made them fill with dirt and debris and look all s****y so I popped some new ones in and removed my old HID ballasts that were limping by anyway and put LED 5202 bulbs in and I must say it matches clean with my LED lows and morimoto switchbacks!

So I went the extra mile and swapped out my dingy license plate lights with new housings and also LED bulbs so that the police will never mistake my "DURRMAX" plate.

Needs a little more toe in and caster split.. she probably leads a little to the right..



It has old worn out 235/85r16s and I'm putting 35"s on it next week figure the toe wth the 35s will be about what they should be. But I'll realign it with the new wheels and tires

We generally give it about .20 total toe in. Plus big tires are just going to amplify everything.. I'd get that caster up to about 3.0 on the passenger side to keep
It from pulling right too.

x2.


the alignment machine doesnt care about tire size, thats not how it reads toe.
