Nice work, Man! Good to see you back at it.

I'm doing 8's inside the roll bars inverted 'V', ... just to avoid any carnage/sticking out. Let me know how that works, man.

 

The one 8 I have works great, has some good bump too it bass is actually better than I though it would be. Only problem I have right now is a noise in the speakers mainy from my electric fan, also I need to clear the little tube on the egr so I can smog my rig by the 18th. I think I am going to have to take it off to clear it out. I been doing little stuff all the time just no time to post up on the forum. cant wait for tax time.

 

I purchased the terminals at autozone, the covers I had to find on ebay.

 

cool thanks

 

Nice work. I eventually want to do the same thing you have done with your speakers on the roll bar. Bet it is nice in the summer time with the top off.

The Peel and Seal really seems to help with road noise. Things are looking good.

 

I have actually never had the top off yet. Eventually I want to get a soft top but not sure yet. They sound pretty good, picked them up at radio shack for 30 bucks.

 

Just stumbled across this thread searching for the alignment tool.

Very nice. Gathering parts for a SAS soon on my 92 excab with 3.4 swap and as soon as I learn how, I am going to start on it in the next few months.

I have a couple of Elockers going in new Trail Gear front and rear housings. I may recruit you to set up the gears when I change them to 4.88 in the near future if you are interested since you are local to me.

Send me a PM if this is something that you may be interested in taking on.

 

I hear ya on the time/tax time, ........both are NEEDED on the "MORE" end, pertaining to the 'RETURNS' AND 'SPARE' ends of each, respectively! lol.

Stay safe out there, bud!

 

i was going thru some old pictures of some trips and you came in mind. hows the build going. its been a while since i seen anything

 

its been slow going since last year. We actually just moved into a new house so we have been busy with that. Still trying to get everything all unpacked. the only thing I have done to my rig is build a new front bumper for my winch I put on recenly before going on a run in march. It came out nice. I will get some pics up on here when I get a chance. I need to get up to bald again soon. thanks for checkin in.

 

HE LIVES, HOORAH! hehehe... Yes, was wondering the same thing... I mention you often, mr. cougar, each time 'tires' come up.... Most times, it's a guy struggling, etc., so I say, "HEY, this guy with a sick white runner grabbed Treadwrights.... check em out!" hahaha. HOW ARE those tires, btw? Not coming apart, etc? haha. (JK, I figure you hear that often, right? )

GREAT to see your post and know that you're doing ok!

 

Ya Chef I am still alive and well thank god for that!! THe treadwrights are still doing great, I am thinking on going to 35" treadwrights when i do my SAS. I just havent had time to post much lately, been house hunting and now unpacking from the move. I will post some pics soon of the bumper I built.

 

Just thought I would put in an update. We bought a house end of june and I am finally getting things organized, my rig is outside now but on the side rv parking that I now have We went out to pismo last weekend and the rig did great, Retreads heald up to the 6 hours of driving to and from and we did a little bit of driving on the dunes. I found that the rear shocks needed to be replaced, it was pretty rough lots of bouncing i was afraid to break a ball joint so we didnt stay long. I did make some Extra cash pulling out other people stuck. a huge seqouia 2wd was buried, pulled him right out no problem. anyways I got some pro comp es 3000 shocks and will be trying them this weekend up by courtwright resevoir. I want to get my swap done soon!

 

I also picked up a set of duals with twin sticks already installed that will be going in when i do my SAS.

 

cant wait to see your SAS done. i hope to get working on my 82 as well. it needs everything but i have already collected most the parts i needed. i just need the suspension done 1st so i can get the other stuff done next

 

alright i gathered some pics to post up, First is from some snow wheeling i did a while back, lots of fun even though i got stuck i got to see some very setup toyota trucks!!


Here is where i got stuck its going up hill!!

Just love the view, it was snowing on us a bit while we were up there!!

Here is the new bumper I made with the trail gear winch mount in the middle and my HF 9000lb winch that i havent needed to try yet!


Here is some trail damage that i got on the gate keeper just in front of chicken rock, i didnt even know it happened till back at camp!


My Bros jeep its actually a nice rig. the 4.o has some serious torque!

 

this is probably my favorite pic!!

 

thats all i have for now. I think thats about all the wheeling i am doing till i get my rig finished, I plan to start with the 2" body lift and engine lift, mount my dual cases, then so the f150 spring swap in the rear and put the axle in front. its alot to do one step at a time.

 

Nice pictures. Some got some wheeling in and I love snow wheeling. Can't wait for snow this year. I see you already got the front hanger installed lol

 

yea put the hanger on, to get my axle on I need the high steer linkage minus the arms. and 2 sets of rear springs and a set of shackles. not a lot but its all the other stuff i need to do after to make it wheel again!
