My '01 ECSB Slow Build

I finally got around to respraying my dash pad in the daily. The paint was peeling off bad, I pressure washed off all the old shit and went back with SEM classic coat. In a matter of 10 minutes the shit is unscratchable. Great stuff. I've used it many times. Now I just need to try to get the paint off my bezel (which is way more stubborn) and repaint that too, and the interior will be near perfect.

How bad was it, taking the top part off? I need to either a. Respray the factory grey or b. Smooth and paint my dash and console.

Quick update: on the daily I installed Monroe factory replacement senstrac shocks up front. #37149. On the back I used some shocks for a Plymouth voyager van and I just changed the bushings in them to fit the chevy truck bolts. They were the perfect length. #37065 and $11 a piece from rockauto wholesale closeout lol.

The truck rides extremely nice. No exaggeration here it's like driving a stock truck. It's nice. I love it

On the racetruck I went ahead and cut a stock nbs fuel rail crossover, test fitted, and handed off to a buddy to have the 6an fittings tig welded onto it. Then when I get it back all I have to do is test fit again, measure, and make a short piece of braided line and throw it together.

I've also started changing my injector plugs to ev6 but pulling out and cutting off the factory pins on the wire and crimping on new pins and snapping them into the new connectors. I'm using a $40 kit from painless and a $30 crimp tool specifically for Delphi connectors from Amazon. The tool works really well. Perfect crimp every time. Tonight I only have time to do the cutting and changed a couple connectors. I'll do the rest tomorrow. I also randomly decided to Polish the rails. Came out pretty sweet tho.

Racetruck shenanigans complete. It's back on the road and drives better than ever. So much fun

My lights are not blue, it's the weird parking lot lighting doing that

So I did a thing. Changed upper and lower balljoints and inner and outer tie rods, and sway bar end links on the daily, and threw on my new 2" street edge spindles to bring it down to 3/7.

Well I may have gone too far.....lol

First order of business now, raise that Y pipe. It scrapes more than I'd like.

Looks perfect for a rcsb daily imo. Definitely looks lower than 3" up front but it may be the tires playing tricks on me lol.

Probably. They are 245/55/17 27.6" diameter. When I put the 20s on it'll be 275/40/20 28.7" so ill gain a little clearance

Currently my top bumper cap and tailgate for my single cab are at the painter. Also I got my 20s back from machining and powdercoat and I'm getting the caps for them painted to match. So there's gonna be some big changes here soon.

Wheels on and colormatched bumper cap and tailgate w/ handle. Now the exterior is nearly done as far as I'm concerned.
