some updates on the Escalade
I put on pretty much a whole new front end. I replaced both from hubs. 3 camber alignment pins on the passenger side that snapped when I was off-roading lol. I replaced upper a arms and lower ball joints. I also put on that free 3" body lift. the lower ball joints I had to grind the edges and then beat it out with a sledge. I also managed to break a 1/2 inch breaker bar over removing my wheel spacers. they were a pain in the butt to get off. everything was pretty rusty and mud caked for an Escalade haha. I broke the heater hose fitting connector when I was liftin the body so that was an extra $25 for that plastic piece. keep in mind my front end was so bad I had very little control of my suv I was takin up both lanes driving down the road. so I'm very glad i regained that control. I am getting an alignment within the next couple of days. and one of my buddies just got a Denali and is racing everyone and winning so I'm fixin to whoop him lol anyways can't decide if I want to put on the blue or red wheel well lights. because I seen a cop pull over someone with blue lights underneath. I mean I've talked to a lot of people and they say they have no problem with the blue rocker lights and getting pulled over or anything. but I just can't make up my mind. I hate red haha anyways let me know what yal think. and i ended up trading my dune buggy for a 400ex plus a gun and cash from him so i think it was a pretty good deal. and we finally got a couple inches of snow in good ol middle Tennessee!!

Red and Blue are a quick way to get a ticket unless you are parked and off a public road. Glad you fixed the truck and are no longer a threat to others lives. You really shouldn't have been driving the vehicle if it was uncontrollable.

also just got 33x12.5r20 for back and i have 2 for the front but havent mounted them yet

 

[Elijah]

heres the bent inner tierod and 2 out of 4 33s lol

 

[Fosscore]

Holy crap! I can appreciate the efforts put forth, but not sure I have ever seen an Escalade put through the ringer like that. lol

That front end pic without the grille reminds me of the 90s Broncos.

 

[Cattivo]

Just think, this was once a nice family driven Escalade that was washed twice a week and avoided every pot hole in the road...you have turned it into the ultimate redneck beast with a cadi badge and hot drunk 20 year old chicks with muddy ****!

Damn I'm jealous lmao...nice rig brother!

 

[02Burgundybeast]

I wouldn't be jealous. I haven't seen one photo of any chicks. You can see the nice set of redneck testicles hanging out the back that scares all the women away.

 

[inmypassatlife]

Redneck or lowbudget ricer mods? i have seen one around town, young kid, still in high school....his dad works with a buddy of mine, he apparently SAS'd it in shop class. It was a rebuilt title truck, but I will snap pics next time I see it.

just slapped on the 20x12s and still running the 2 inch wheel spacers. had to ask around and ended up going to 5 or 6 different shops and finally found one that would mount a tire. It is a 305/55 R20 so 33.2 in by 12 inch wide tread on a 12 inch wide wheel. Rubs a little still gotta cut some more out but i think it is wayyyyyyyyy better than the chrome wheels

 

[02Burgundybeast]

Way better looking than the old wheels.

 

[Elijah]

thanks bo just ordered tow mirrors not 100% positive if ill keep them on though

 

[Elijah]

Fixing to put tie rod reinforcements in. They were $20. I cut a lot more out and tires still rub a little bit. Another update I cracked my radiator so I bought a new one for $80 and installing that Friday. For now I am whipping my new 1984 porsche 944. Also got tow mirrors.

 

[05Single]

Wheels look much better!
