cstmg8 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Not a lot to report lately, just driving it. It's done well, made a couple trips to Athens and the tires are well behaved on the road. I got the 1" body lift on, but haven't raised the front bumper yet. I was debating on just leaving it until the new bumper comes, but I'll probably drill it this weekend. I also ran an amp install kit to the rear cargo area while the interior is torn apart, mostly for a power block, but probably for a small 4 channel amp as well. I still have rear bags and front window tint to install. After that, I'm just going to address some rust areas that I want to get stopped.

zeitgeist57 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Love the way that thing looks, from the OWL tires, bronze wheel finish, lift, color....it all works for me. :thumbup: Can you touch up the wheel weights with paint to try and cover them?

Lauren Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Cut those running boards off and it'd be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Oh and plastic dip the chrome bumpers black. It really changes how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji106] Can you touch up the wheel weights with paint to try and cover them?Definitely, the only reason I haven't yet, is that I've decided I like the bronze, so I think I'm going to sand the wheels down and paint them bronze. Then again, why worry about it if dip works?? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear bumper may get painted, we'll see. An off-road front bumper is already on order. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agreed...dip can be patched, it looks good already...just paint the wheel weights and be done (for now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Big thanks to Verse for getting me a great price on a factory lower ball joint assembly. Passenger axle boot finally blew, so I'll be knocking out both at the same time. The first "budget" item bit me, so I ordered new hd uniball upper ball joints for the eBay uca's. I also may have found a replacement for the G8, so I'll be back to two vehicles. Makes it a lot easier to get work done on one.
