here's some more pics! I'm starting to get excited now, i can finally see the end. If nothing goes wrong and i dont get sidetracked i might even be done by the weekend! the only thing i have left to weld on are the shock hoops and the rear shock mounts.

spring perches


Here she is on her wheels, had to set the rear pinion angle

 

You may have already said and I missed it but what size tires are you gonna run? You have sure made a lot of ground great job.

 

Im gonna run 33's i think, with stock 4:10 gears. Im gonna start looking into dual t cases soon if i can find a cheap one.

 

Scribed!

Nice build man! Bumper looks pretty cool too! But I'm really interested in hearing how the spartan locker performs cause I was considering getting one too.

 

Thanks man, i wanna get it out asap, ill let you know how it works, the price is deffinetly right though and it looks pretty strong.

 

ah not sure how i missed this build. lookin good dude!
where did you pick up that plasma cutter?
steal of a deal on that sfa, i picked up one for 160$ and had to drive to red deer.. already has highsteer and whatnot.

 

My Spartan worked great! And that rig is beging you for some 4.88's and 35's

 

yeah your probably right, i was thinking about either 33 or 35 MTR's, i gotta her out of the garage though so i'll have to do gears later, most likely the same time i put in a front locker.

-I got the plasma from praxair in Edmonton, it wasn't cheap but it was definitely worth every penny.

 

Hey everybody, im pretty much finished my sas now! just gotta install the steering stabilizer and the get it aligned. got some pics to put up soon!

 

Awesome man been wondering about your progress. pics pics pics, LOL

 

HOLY CRAPOLI, AARON, ....SICK! I've been so overwhelmed with the "Well, it's Mark, so SOMETHING has to be NEXXXXXXXXXT!" build! hahaha.. I didn't even see the pic of it almost done! Wow, .... that is some serious clearance, IMPRESSED! Love that brick-toy color, too, now it just reminds me of my buddy's 85 4Runner in that color(minus the black)....

Wow, can't wait for the pics you're speaking of, bud!

 

Alright, here she is flexing a little bit.



Im going back to work on Wednesday so im gonna be looking into dual T-cases, sliders and tires soon.

 

Wow, that is gonna be sick when you're done.... ALREADY looking mildly ill, if you know what I mean? hahahaa. Great work, ..... I often wish I'd just went for it.... but now I get to try to break the new IFS first! lol.

Take care, Aaron, ....good to hear from ya!

 

Looking good man, that thing has really came a long way, keep up the great work.

 

Thanks guys, got a couple more loose ends to tie up: need to change the front output flange, then fix my rear window and get it aligned still before i can take it out.

And Chef, please don't break anything on your truck its too clean to be broken lol.

 

Hahhaa, ...thanks, man! Well, you'll get there, Aaron, no worries.... and it's a nice rig, just needs a lil TLC. BTW, how heavy is that bumper.... it looks like 3MILLION KAJILLION POUNDS! lol. Jk, but curious. Is it a name brand one or home made?

 

i built it out of 10 gauge so my guess is maybe about 100lbs, i can pick it up by myself pretty easily. I actually built it in my garage, but now that i have a plasma cutter and some other fab tools i wanna try and build another one out of 3/8 material and modify the design so i can put a stinger on it. But that's a while from now lol.

 

Hey everybody, i got some new tires last week and got out wheeling too!
Decided to go with 33" MT/R's.



she sure is sloooooooooooow now though lol. So im gonna streamline my intake a little bit and i got a header on the way so hopefully that helps a bit. I'll probably regear when i put in my dual T-cases.

 

Nice, man, glad you're out enjoying it!

 

X2 I'm really happy for ya man
