MustangGirl666's 2005 H2 Luxury Build Thread

[MustangGirl666]

Update...


Items ordered or on the way
18" Method Standard Black Wheels (scheduled for delivery Wednesday)
Black Lug Nuts
OEM Rear Coil Springs (to replace air ride suspension)
3rd Brake Overlay
DRL Tints
LED DRL Bulbs
Cognito Dual Front Fox 2.0 Remote Res Shocks



How it looks now, installed brush guard lights and dyed all the trim black

I also have materials on the way to make a filler panel for the rear bumper. I am also going to have a metal front fascia fabricated 1" taller to fix the front gap and get rid of the warped OEM plastic fascia (similar to the one by SMA but with metal bumper ends)




All that's really left is seat covers, Warn winch, Cognito dual shock hoops, GOBI ranger with dual ladders, a 6" suspension lift.

After the 38s wear out and u do the suspension lift what tires are u gonna go with?

 

[MustangGirl666]

What are you using to dye your plastic bumpers?

Griots Garage

After the 38s wear out and u do the suspension lift what tires are u gonna go with?

When I do the suspension lift I will be going with 41x14.50R18 Irok Radials. I don't have any money invested in the tires, so I don't mind upgrading them before they wear out. I can even sell them for a few bucks to cover one tire or mounting and balancing or something.

That's a big tire! You planning on regearing too?

Yes when the time comes I will be regearing from the stock 4.10 gears to 5.13's

Got the Cognito Dual Fox 2.0 Remote Reservoir Shocks today!

This build is AWESOME!!!! Thank you for sharing everything.

As far as your future lift, I have the 6" Fabtech which is great and running the same tires you have now. My tires are bigger then the lift company recommended which was down right stupid because I could easily fit 40's right now with out even cranking up anything. I went with 38's because of state/local laws for now. my next tires will be at least 40's and yes you are correct with going to 513's...

Can you please explain the Griots garage dye stuff you did? mine look like crap and i am wondering what to do to them.

BTW i never wanted fender flares - until NOW.. can you tell me what yours are? WOW they look fantastic on your rig!

My Method Wheels came today and just got them installed. I also added tints and LED bulbs to the DRL's the other day

OEM rear coil springs came today also to covert the air suspension

I was wondering when that was going to happen! Looks good!

New side marker light guards I got for a good price, much more stout then the other ones. Need to get them powder coated black now

Too bad. I could have had molds made by now, and sold enough of them to pay for all those Christmas gifts.
