Kinda selfish but... keep the 4runner and give me your truck!!

I love what you've done with the '83. I been following your build-up for awhile and I'm impressed.

 

Thanks man I appreciate it.

Finished the second coat of paint today. I also picked up a grill and head light bezels from a 80' pickup so i can change to the round headlights.

 

Got some new parts today.
Complete high pinion third with 5.29 gears and arb air locker and compressor

 

Nice man.

I got some stuff from Marlin today too but not that sweet.

 

So Jealous

 

you have set the bar for my 80 build... i am hoping to have half as nice a truck as yours.

 

Thanks guys I appreciate it. She is just about done, hopefully I can have it done to take to the Tin Bender Jambo.

 

Are you keeping the front open? I really like that blue too, it pops.

 

I?ve got a bit of rear-end howl that begins around 60 mph and increases around 70-75 mph on my 80 short-bed. The rear diff is all original (200+ miles) and no doubt worn. Would an ARB Air Locker be a quick upgrade without a lot of complication? I?m assuming I could also go to a larger tire diameter with gear choice? Does the Locker affect highway use in any negative way?

Nice blue on the truck.

 

The ARB is completely safe to use in all driving(on road) because it is selectible. It is either on or off and when it is off it acts like an open diff. An ARB is not without difficulties when installing, you have to plumb the air hose. The locker will not solve your howl unless you get a new gearset too, couldn't tell if you knew that or not.

Hey Aaron, how are you painting your truck?

 

looks like single stage....

 

pretty much, I tried some clear coat but it reacted with the paint and it started bubbling. So i am going to give it one more coat of paint and call it good.

 

I'm assuming your sparyign with a gun right?

 

No its actually rolled on!

 

say WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

Not bad.

 

Are you still selling it?

Oh and what is your profession? you have 3 of THE sickest trucks on this site.

 

I am going to hold off on the sale for now. I am in the Wind Turbine Industry. Thanks Aaron
