I just happened to find this. Not sure if you would be interested http://springfield.craigslist.org/pts/4427574182.html It isn't in my budget for now.

 

Mark, I'm not an expert on lockers but I can tell you that both of my ARB's have been trouble free for more then 10 years. I run a V6 Carrier in the back and a Dana 44 up front. The only thing I suggest is carrying a feral and some 5 mm hose with you for the rare times the hose breaks. I've only had that happen once here in Az where the heat and plastic don't mix.

 

I have to update quite a bit. And I'm grateful for all your input guys! I'm coming to some decisions and I have found that I'm making them much differently now. I'll explain more later. I'm uploading a bunch of videos and pictures today and I will do a good update. I think I need to start doing more straight YouTube videos instead of just the Instagram ones. I'm really unable to explain what I'm doing and how, using Instagram, and while it's fun being so quick and painless to just upload everything to one thing immediately... I miss being able to walk through the journey a little better of whatever I'm doing.

I'm trying right now to make my decision on the locker and hey motor swap, if I do want it all. If I do a motor swap, now is the time, because I just passed smog with unbelievable results and fully registered the truck with the same then and 4FF**** License plate! Holy inspected at the store station and past without any question it all bye what is a very honest but for lease strict smog & inspection guy that has been around for 30 years. STOKED! Pics and Vids to come soon.

PS: sorry I have been so absence on my own thread... I've just been so busy and finding it so much easier to do Instagram. But as I said, it's just not as much fun in the end, and certainly know where comparable in the realm of proper documentation of each section.

If you want to find me on instagram, however, my name is the same as here.... @Chefyota4x4 on IG.

 

Congrats on surviving Commiefornia DMV/smog.
Be hurdle cleared.

 

THANKS, BRUDDA! You know exactly what up that whole thing is, especially now in the last year. A lot has changed since even my last trip 2 years ago.

I have a lot to post, but here is a sneak peek...

Suzy looks sweet! Reminds me how much I like silver and black. Keep up the good work, you rock man!

 

Thanks man!

 

I know it's not likely that anyone on here is going to probably be interested... But just in case, I am finally going to put my Craigslist parts ad up and I wanted to make sure that no one especially local to me was interested in anything. I can't with any parts are prices on here because of the rules of this site. Totally respect that. Just send me a private message if you want to know about anything and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I will also do a classified ad here just for that or modify the one I already did. I just figured I would throw this out there for my homies before I put up an ad. Take care of their guys, be careful and have a great rest of your weekend!

 

nice little vid as alway Mark..
Was that the Offspring for your sound track?

 

she looks sweet mark

 

Hey Chef, we are you hiding out at???? Hope all is going well down your way.

 

Trying to catch up on your doings Chef! Chef? You'd better be out having fun.

Haha dropzone....Commiefornia!

Hey guys... Thanks a lot for checking in. I'm sorry I have not been presence, but my life has just been totally slammed everyday for quite a while. I would love to update everything tomorrow or Thursday, but I'm leaving Friday to visit my father who is again not doing so great. Habanero is absolutely correct, it is a not so recognized album by smash mouth but they did in the garage or something. Lol. I enjoy that album! I have lots to update and I have already updated all of the photobucket and some of the YouTube... I will eventually get to updating my thread here. I didn't get the engine sold with the trans and transfer case, lots of the interior, and quite a bit more going soon. Including the frame on Thursday morning! Very stoked about that!

 

Chef-fix! Hopefully your visit goes well and all is as good as it can be. You update when you can, we all just like knowing you're around. We got used to your face.

 

^x2

 

Sorry to hear your dad isn't doing that great. Good luck buddy and my thought are with you.

I just bought a motor! I can't wait to get out again and hit another trail with you. If things are looking up next summer (not this one) we should organise a trip to meet somewhere for wheeling. Maybe Moab?

 

my thoughts are with yer dad man best hopes

 

Chef, glad to hear you're still kicking and I'll say a prayer for your pops.

I've had to take internet-leave before and will again soon as most of us have, we understand.

Take care and we'll see you when you can come back around!

 

Hey everybody!...

Just got back from a trip to Lake Havasu to visit my father, as well as dropping in to needles California for my second cousin Devon's high school graduation! (he has down syndrome, and I'm so proud of him!).... While I was there in Havasu I did a little wheeling....

I also stopped by LC engineering, to visit a buddy who works there, and he took some shots and said my truck will be the monthly newsletter? Woot! Lol...



Took my cousin Mikey out a little bit... This kid is 14 and 5 foot 9! Lol....





I guess I thought I should get up in there too! Lol.











Dinner out with my Pops, step mama sue, brother Rob and his son, my cousin, Nike, and of course the wonderful Momz! ....



Love my pops crew cab TRD four wheel drive tundra... He wants to give it to me but it doesn't look like the step mom is going to allow that. Lol....





Stop by this old dude who used to work on cars for the movies, he is fixing my stepmothers 93 Mustang convertible GT. Pretty much restoring it... I guess Lake Havasu can tear up a convertible & interior pretty fast! Lol... Look at some of the stuff he does, all the interior work and so forth! ...











Did a little more wheeling the next day...
























Added some extra rock lights from a buddy at www.all4offroad.com .... Renato is a great dude! These pods are insane! For parts per bar and its about 4 inches by three quarters of an inch by one-fifth of an inch thick.... I only added two of those. One in the front and one in the middle on the trail gear crossmember facing slightly backwards at around a 30 degree angle....





My brothers ss Chevelle converted to a high-performance 327... This thing is a freaking rocket! The tricky part? He bought this from the guy who then weeks later, infamously and all over the news, took his wife and her father and others lives by gunshot! He's a little freaked out about keeping it but he feels even worse about selling it to someone knowing the history......



I took a nice hot tub more than once at the house we rented which was beautiful!





Got some new tires on the Honda for my mom!



On the way to Havasu in the crawler with my mom riding shotgun! You have no idea how many people love to see her getting out of that thing with no problem! They got the biggest kick out of it!


Some more footage of driving and how well the truck performed.....A/C blue ice cold all the way there to the point that I had to put it only on setting one or it was too cold! Very stoked!.....



Some Havasu locals built this axial and bike track in the middle of body Beach! Badass!....


On the way home, still in Arizona I believe....

 

Cool update Chef, looks like a great trip!
