NorCrawler's.. Crawler Rebuild Thread (pic heavy)
jeez i havent posted anything about my truck here for a long time haha
How it looked in its prime:
swapped out the boggers for some 33" MTs and built myself a flatbed:
Rebuilt the front axle:
pulled
was not expecting to see this when i was taking it apart
knuckle bearing...
now the bed is back on and got itself a spare tire carrier (from a 91 4runner) didnt know if it would work or not but for $20 it was worth a shot, and it worked awesome:
reinforced the bed where it bolts on with some 3/8" thick plating going about 12" down the inside of the bed, so its pretty damn sturdy.
and here is how it looks today:
and its in desperate need of:
bigger tires for sure
gears and lockers (lock right went out on me)
utility camper shell (trying to go for a expedition rig/crawler )
on board air (already have a york compressor, just need to fab a bracket)
new clutch and flywheel
wheel spacers
and some more tubing around the cab maybe????
