the wheels look real good on there but im wondering why you need a different rear end to upgrade your drums to discs? or is it two fold to upgrade to a 14 bolt?

 

looks great!

 

Loooks Great! I am thinking the above suggestion is a great idea. I absolutely love the brakes, I am jealous! Keep up the good work

 

Looks Great

 

Where are you in LA? I'll be at UCLA in the fall so I'll have to check out some of the Southern California members rides

 

As long as she's 5 ft 9", blonde hair, blue eyes, a rack of DD batteries and a low self esteem...I'm there. I don't care about the competition as long as I get recognized and compensated by her for my efforts to progress truckin in this country!

 

Haven't thought about it yet...everytime I think of something new to do to the truck I get yelled at to get the damn thing on the road first and get some miles on it before changing anything else on it. I had it dropped 2/4 a year ago but had to raise it back up but I really liked the look of it, so if I do drop it it won't be more than 2 inches because it's my DD and I live in LA where the roads/freeways are absolute

 

It was a bit of both. From what I understand there is no direct conversion from Wilwood from drum's to discs and I also need to beef up the rear end before I snap it in two with my set-up. However Brian@JPA talked to Wilwood and sent them pictures of my wheels and brakes today and they are gonna make a slight modification so that the rears will be able to fit in place of the drum's. And as for the rear looks like instead of swapping in a Dana 60, I'm gonna be upgrading the internals so it will hold up to the abuse. Work in progress...

 

I'm really liking that idea as well so...
I'm gonna get the center's painted and matched and put them on. And I'm also gonna find a cap for the center and get both that and the lug nuts powder coated.
I will post up what both look like and depending on what looks best and opinions I'll go from there.


Northridge, it's just over the hill from UCLA. Give me a heads up and I'll show you around town when you get here! You bringin your truck w/ you?

 

Right on, I know where you're at. I'm probably taking it with me, parking sucks, and it is a bitch to park on campus. I have another plan that I need to try to work out, but I'll likely have it with me. I posted some pictures of it in the picture post that is stickied
As for the rear end, why not upgrade it to a 14sf? Too much of a hassle?
