The Bongo Hotdawg - New Pics 3-14-11

Looking good bro

I couldn't stand it! I had to do something. So I did a little work after work today.

Results of removing 2 leafs on each side, 3" blocks, reindexing the torsions, and flipping the bj's, installing Toxic shocks, rolling on 16" Suburban wheels rapped in 205/55/16's.



I'll get better pics tomorrow, this was with my phone.

looks good

LOOKS alot better

Didn't do pics today but did some more work.

Tonight I upped my rear to 2" blocks instead of the 3". 3" just made it too low and ride a bit harsh...even without bump stops. With the extra inch of clearance she rides almost like a Caddy now...still gotta remove the front bump stop brackets.

I raised the front about a half inch as well. Still looks great, better imo. Got a slight rake, but nothing major.

I also shaved my rear hub tabs for the wheels to fit flush.

Bought me a Mr. Gasket fpr today.

lookin good fo sho!!

New pics from today.





The Wheels. I've got some Mazda symbol emblems on the way that should mostly cover the Chevy emblem.



Check out my custom grant wheel Need a new horn button.

Nice. I plan to be picking up that same steering shortly. My adapter will be in tomorrow. Just need the cash for the wheel. I used to have the 3 spoke Challenger 860 in Kermit.

ha, ha, I got that same wheel too, its just mines actually older than I am, lol. It's been sittin around in my uncle's shop ever since I can remember so I figured I'd make it mine, lol. And it's never even been installed just taken outa the box. Am I wrong? lol now I just need an adapter too!

Swapped to shorter length shocks up front today. Removed bump stop brackets. New lower Bj's, new tie rod ends on the driver side. Tucking 1-1.5" of tire now up front. So yeah, I've got a bit of rake now. Will drop the rear another inch when I get some angled blocks and then get the rear notched.

Been a while with no updates, and still nothing major, but its my thread lol.
