I saw Martin's rig today with those beautiful rims on it. It looks real good.

Mikey you make a good point about the rims and trail credibility. I crushed another LC center cap at Superstition the other week. My rig may look bling fromt he outside but Marc can vouch for its underside being a bit thrashed.

Gas tank skid needs some help! Looks like tin foil.

Looks like fartruck is going to be awesome! Although according to this pic, you are just about out of mod money.

Got myself some 3/16" plate for both the gas tank and a custom x-fer case skid. I need a straight week to fab all the shiznit I got in my head. I hear you on the toll the last Super 9 took on the rig. My front bumper is toast - looks like I'll be doing a front instead of the planned rear first.

Mikey - sorry to hi-jack. If I'm not doing anything I will definately head over to Josh's to help.

Mikey, I got a 9" angle grinder...

It cuts like a light saber...

Lemme know if you need some old parts removed...


Been working on mine daily for 2 weeks:
Bump stops
Left knuckle
Right hub
New rotors and calipers
New weld-in steel axle shims
Johnny joint shackles
etc, etc.

Need to get ready for Calico...

I'm scared for what's gonna happen. I always figured Mikey's formula was 20% Truck and 80% driver. Now It's gonna be 80% truck and 80% driver.

Look Out Devil's Canyon!

I'll do my best to help out. The 4" cutting wheel/grinder is my tool of trade. I'll prep the rear for the new hangers while others can work on the front. Let's see a show of hands for the Fartruck. The sooner it's together the sooner we can watch Mikey beat on it. Sunday is the day.

While surfing in Thailand, Mikey joined an early model-Toyota truck-wheeling-Muay Thai forum called YoThaiTech

You got any pictures of the rear bumper/exo/tire/????

Would like to see it, need to do something on the rear of mine and soon. If it looks good and holds I will have to call those guys maybe, if shipping won't kill the deal.
