Making an LBZ Look Halfway Decent on a Teenager's Budget

Well I sold the 20s, Rollin 16" steelies with chrome caps for a while.

Still haven't replaced axle seal, thermostats, idler arm bracket, or u joints. I guess im getting used to riding a vibrator. Need to do it ASAP though.

Took the flares off the truck, paint is fucked on the bed, but the front fenders are immaculate. I love the no flare look but can't afford to have the bed fixed so I guess I'll put em back on.

Also put in my re sxx-10 and a shitty box I built a while back, the port area is fucked up so it doesn't sound right. Powered by some a planet audio ac4000 on 4 ohms. Supposed to be like 1200 watts rms prolly more like 800 but I'm cool with it.

Changed oil with ac Delco filter and some Lucas additive. Hate the post-oil change tick duramaxes have. also installed new thermostats last night, truck runs mucho better, warms up faster and runs smoother and a lot warmer, but never too hot. Should see better fuel mileage also. And for some reason at higher operating temp it blows a shit ton (metric) more black smoke.

And I've been contemplating posting pictures of the truck...hate the squat but the fgt mud tires are temporary. If I keep the wheels I'll end up getting a set of street tarz and bringin the front down again.

Pretty sure every lbz thermo stats go to shit. Everyone I know with lbz says truck runs too cold, replace t stat, everything better.

I like the wheels. I actually think I like them better than the other ones. Granted the other ones looked good but they are becoming very popular on nbs trucks.
