Alright so Dean (SR5) came over yesterday so we could work on the runner he flopped at Reiter last week. To start things off I welded sheets over the sunroof, it had been destroyed.















This is the theme of the night and it was not good


The problems started when it got dark, we moved into my little budget shop (20'x10') and started painting. We got a few beers in us and were breathing all the paint fumes. Dean was on the roof like "Man this has GOT to be perfect, i'm gonna make this perfect, I am SO focused" and i was just sitting there laughing turning a stripped screw for a few minutes. Yeah, that stuff really screwed us up.

A little to happy to be sanding bondo


So then we decided to paint the hood black (bad idea) probly just cause we were high
It didnt turn out too bad



The roof turned out nice


Yes i know the masking job sucks that was the last thing on our minds.


We signed the roof


We had not intent to get high, we were just working away and didnt even notice it was happening until it was too late.

I will admit it was kind of fun but definitely not something i will do again. I'm just glad it didnt happen while we were working on my truck

Lesson learned: Paint fumes can really screw you up. It will impair your judgement and affect your work quality. If your working on your truck and think your getting high, do yourself a favor and call it quits.

nice weld job are those 35" tires??? and how much lift do you have??

algranger

He's got LC coils in the rear and bj spacers up front, i believe he said it was about 3" of lift.

algranger

Yeah i know we did a really sloppy job but mainly now he doesnt have a gaping hole over his head so it works

You need to invest in a painters mask, Al.
Hopefully that paint wasn't lead based...

Looks good though..for being high..

"you were gonna do a good job, but then you got high"

scuba

I was gonna get up and find the paint mask, but then I got high...

algranger

I was gonna kick your guys' asses.. but then i got high

904_runner

good one i guess.....

SR5

lol, oh man...well im happy with how things turned out all in all. and from know on if you work on my truck you get to sing the roof in spray paint so josh, chris, you guys gotta sign it.

904_runner

Hey man, it doesn't look too horrible considering that you rolled it.

If i were you, definitely throw a cage in there.
I would like to get one,

SR5

ya i wanna make something like this:

yoder519

wow what a frickin sweet runner. thats alot of tubing, bet that cost a pretty penny. good job on that fab work... but no more sunroof.

904_runner

I don't like the design of that cage. There are two i really like. Let me find pics of them.
I really like this one.



And this one

A jungle gym for the kiddies to play on?

Seriously, that exo is overkill ghey. Stop rolling your junk over, and you won't need 500lbs of exo

SR5

ya i know its overkill i just think it looked cool, all i need are some sliders, front and rear bumpers and im set.
also good point.

Dirt Master80

wow!!
that runner on boggers is overkill
he must of used 250' of tube. lets see... 250'x3.25 a foot for hrew like 810 just for tube
