'99 2 door build thread

Hey all, just got a black '99 2 door at an insurance auction. It is a 2wd and am planning on doing a modest drop and wheel combo.

any suggestions?

Im thinking a 2/2 drop on some 22" wheels ???

Also looking for any "must do" mods for this girl. Will be a couple months while we rebuild the front end and just want to have her running and functioning as best as possible.

thanks in advance for any tips!

the frame survived?

 

[bruisedgsxr]

Yes, as you can see, the major impact is above the frame rail so no damage.

As someone who thinks all 2dr hoes should be 4x4, that thing looks pretty good.

Well, got her home to GA right before thanksgiving. This was how she arrived.

Immediately cleaned up the headlights, running lights, and corners..

And then on to the wheels!!! 22" Irocs on 275/40/22 Nitto 420s'.

Still have lots of plans for her. Immediately will be tinting the front windows with a sun strip. Luckily almost everything in the engine bay is NEW, with fresh gaskets and the whole 9. So future plans are:
- Led taillights
- Leather interior
- New carpet
- Update stereo and speakers
- Eventually drop rear another 1"-2". But I plan to tow with her, so have to wait until I can afford helper bags and everthing when I do it.

Im in love with her! Hope yall like her too!

Does look nice! Looks like some quality work done on it. No engine or cooling problems?

 

[yukondoit]

[jdpber]

Needs more low

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Nope. Guess ill know better on cooling once summer comes back around, but zero issues so far.

I love that we got all OEM black body pieces so shes all factory paint. Though the hood has a good few dots of paint chips.

Needs more low

YES! Def needs to get dropped more in rear. But Im pretty sure ill have to relocate the gas filler hose to do so.



Thanks though, I LOVE her!!

Shouldn't have to.

Also I would pull grill and spray your radiator, AC condenser, and trans cooler. Flat black. The bare alum jumps out at me.

 

[Goodinblack]

Sweet

This is how nice I wish all TOTM pictures were

 

[jerryjoe28]

look great man x2 on the pic ...... i have got to take some better pics of mine!

 

[jdpber]

I would also Matt black your dash with spray viynal. And go to a shorter antena. And add an eyebrow tint on the shield along with the fronts to match the rear glass.

vehicles are prone to overheating if you apply too much paint to the radiator, oil cooler and condenser. Just dust the fins so that you don't restrict air flow. Make sure you power wash first to clean out all the junk collected.

Take a look at Silverado diesel smoothy bumper. Extra cooling holes in bumper. This was used in Tahoe Limited for fogs. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2060/3201/5149100004_large.jpg
