Lol yea they're the magnums and unfortunately that green didn't wash off with the foam. Previous homeowners did that horrific paint job to the driveway, it's on my to-do list, after important stuff like getting new running boards [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23].

Did the first DIY oil change after going through the dealer's free ones. Added a Fumoto valve in an attempt to keep myself and my driveway cleaner [emoji1360]

I can't wait to try out my fumoto valve. Too bad it's going to be quite awhile as I just installed it two months ago

Knocked this out in about 20 min this morning. Lund Aeorskin hood protector. It's the stick on version. I almost took it back but decided to give it a try since it was basically free. ($100 chevy accessories coupon)

Did the cargo/reverse light mod this weekend. Took all of about 2 minutes and it works great! Now I just need to upgrade to LED bulbs.

Had my tint redone on the front 2 windows. Got tired of the 15% and had 5% put on. 21431b5089095f219f30f5fafda62438.jpg

Finally got her some new shoes - she had been on me for a few months to upgrade from stock.

And because I'm a habitual hater of those that post pics with no specs (especially the first pics):

285/65r18 Cooper Discoverer STT Pros

Mayhem Warrior 18x9 +18

King 2.5's @ 3"

Cognito ball joint UCAs

3" readylift blocks in the back

 

They definitely have a bit of a hum to them at 80mph, which I expected despite the "super quiet" claims. Nothing I won't drown out with the radio though. They are my first MT or at least hybrid MT, although I've had Duratracs and BFG ATs (non KO2) before.

 

They do rub a bit on the liner at full turn - caught pretty good on the way home and bent the liner a tad. Nothing that a zip tie can't fix though.

Do you remember the fumoto part number or where did you buy it? Thanks

What's up fellas? Got my 2015 1500 DC a month ago as an early wedding gift from the fiancee

and love it so far. Never really messed with vehicles too much until now, but I wanted to make it my own so started reading the forums too see what I could do for cheap.
Here's everything I've done in the last month:

- Bowties to black (front, rear, steering wheel)

- Silverado badges off the doors

- Motofab 2.5 level in front (might change to a 2" or 3" block in back

- Tyger Riser running boards

- Footwell lights with dimmer (comes on with dash - dimmed as low as it can go)

- Running board lighting (dome light circuit)

- Air dam removal (might put back on)

-Paint stick behind gas pedal (ABSOLUTE MUST)

 

Gonna add tint, wheels, tires, bedliner after the wedding. Also looking into a spindle lift or bilsteins to replace the leveling kit. Satisfied for now I guess...

I bought the F-107N from Amazon. Make sure you install it with the blue washer - mine was off the valve and was hiding up behind the cardboard of the packaging.

The build looks so good! I really love all of the mods you have done and thank you for posting all of the specs!

Would you mind snapping a few photos of your front driveline cv angles? I only ask because I've read so many times on this forum that it's not recommended to go over 2.5" of lift with out a diff lowering kit because of how severe the cv angles are and pre mature wear on the drive line. Out of fear I ordered a diff lowering kit and I'm installing my fox 2.5's this week and might go over 2.5" of lift and would love to see what your drive line angles look like. If they are not to bad I might skip the diff kit hehe. I am just not to comfortable shaving down one of the diff housing fin's to make it fit.

I did it. There's a ton of metal there and it really only is a little cooling fin. fd8972e4d2d4e4228665f905ffaf443e.jpg

Thank you for posting this! What did you use to shave down the fin? Also which Front lower ball joint did you install?

    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
    • You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is. 
    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
