A few years back, 32 to to be exact . Semper Fi

 

GRRREAT pic, Teuf! OORAH!

87... that's sweet, I'd sport it! lol.

 

I love it too, wish it was still that purdy, now it's a rattlecaned nightmare, that will change this spring when I do a good paintjob though.

currently I'm thinking about a two tone paintjob, just not sure what colors yet. Any suggestions?

It had a bad valve cover gasket when I got it so it did leak some oil, and actually most of those spots are from the muscovy duck behind the clucked lol.

Thanks man, but the roll is in the past, I'll fix it as best I can and keep on trucking.

There's a pic of my truck in it's current state a few pages back in this thread if you want to see what a monstrasity it is now.

 

OOrah

 

heres my rig. It's minus the grandpa steps and the chrome trim now and plus an ausie locker that would have come in handy when this pic was taken.

 

no pic daddy

 

Hopefully it's fixed the pic is showing up on my comp now.

 

Daddy cool pic, PS I hope my toyota never drives in snow again.

 

Lol. I live in southern Oregon most of the the wheelin places are 3k to 6k feet so during the cooler months it's either deep snow or parcial snow. I like it though sometimes I think it's rougher on a rig than any other condition even rock crawling.

 

Tell me about it, my truck spent 21 years in NE salt n slush winters. Dang rust.
.

 

lol yeah not sure why there isn't one...oh well its held up this long smashing into things and whipping around.

 

I guess we're lucky around here they gravel the road using red cinder rock. No salt for the northwest.

 

The "incodent" for those who don't remember




After the repair



Now just a little bondo and some paint.

WOOT, WOOT! Go Rob, itcha Birfday! LOL... GREAT WORK, Man.... looks awesome. Man, now that I know what she's been through.... I LOVE THIS RIG EVEN MORE! lol. Have fun with the rest, watchin!

 

I was so deeply hurt by the "did you find yer nuts and finally put that grill guard on?.... Oh, it's just resting on a stool, nvm!" comment from XXX, I almost wept! HAHAHA, jk... Thanks, buddy, actually gave me the incentive, once I realized my bosses were eating out for lunch, to PUT THIS SUCKER ON! .............

Downey Off-Road's Grill/Bumper Guard with Dick Cepek 8" Halogens...........

Before I put the skid back on(did some painting, too)....


After skids back on with a few different angles...(go figure, it's almost dark out it's so overcast... but they'll do I hope? lol)....




Painted skid and some of the components around the brace, and brace.....


More Yotaporn.... hahaha.........



I'll get some better ones on a sunny day... Thanks for the kick in the pants, X, it really did help! Thanks to my neighbor, RONNIE! ...He brought his grinder to help me get that one screw off holding the valence on. Even he was saying "GOOD GOD!" LOL. Then helped me by holding in the lock nuts with a wrench while I PUSHED on the top and got in the Allen Bolts TOIGHT LIKE A TOIGER! Thanks to Jim from Downey Off road, too... LOVE it, Jim..and MISS YOUR COMPANY! Start up in Tax Free Texas, please? Maybe? hahaha.

 

chef why are you trying to lift the front with bj spacers? looks good to me.

 

are you gonna re-gear and go bigger tires?

 

Hey Mouse,

Actually, it's hard to tell, but I'm actually on a slant in the driveway... And there is DEFINITELY a noticeable rake when I'm on a flat surface. Even there, if you look, you can see that it's almost the same distance, top of rim to top of fender.... 12.75" in rear and 13.25" in front.... it's supposed to be around 14.5"-15" in the front, because the front wheel well is cut out over 2" higher, from what I measured. Is that making sense? When I park the other way, on an incline(front end lower elevation than rear)...it's REALLY obvious, lol. IT BUGS ME! lol.. Plus, yes, I'm planning on getting a set of 32x11.50x16's MT's on some soft 8's, before next summer. Heck, if I find em sooner on CL or something, I might just have to go a bit broke for a bit, lol.... yeah, even MORE BROKE! hahaha.

Also, with the Mega Travel BJ's and BJ spacers will give me a LIL more up travel... Not much, just a lil(I don't wanna SUPER STRESS the CV's more than is necessary... wont be doing the Low Pro Bump stops... I read up on that and Roger also explained it all as well as you... I get that now, lol), and then with new Lower BJ's and new shocks, stabilizer and possibly new A-ARM bushings, I should be pretty good to go for a while.

 

That rear end looks real nice! good job on the fix!!
