Honestly I think I've thought about that recently more than any other mod...
What should i use for the console though? That's my only issue, that and the fact all of the ammo storage box center consoles are uglyyyy to me.
Any ideas?

 

Walmart... seriously. I sold my old buckets to my buddy in a single cab, and he ran to walmart and bought the center console from there... it has 4 cup holders, and a huge storage center piece... fits perfectly between the seats.

 

awesome, im gonna check that out, stay posted youll see it soon haha
i might go with a second transfer case later on that would be nice to have space for the second shifter.

 

if you guys care, i re-located the license plate further right, and monday and tuesday the bed will get finished. I bought some six spoke 95.5 taco rims im restoring tomorrow with some rattle-action... haha then, mount them, once my bday passes as well.... AUSSIE LOCKERRRRRRRRR

 

Sorry i am moving so slow, im fixing up my new work shop i finally took the initiative to turn my grandpas old shop in my back yard in to one of my own! i also got my compressor! oh lord pictures of everything will be happening soon!

 

well you're gonna have to search and see whats out there as far as headers go. But just about anything will be better than what you have. Start up top then build your exhuast system down.

 

Yeah, you're so right. Seeing as cash isn't hot in my hands ill have to. Doug Thorely is good i hear... a buddy of mine has them on his Jimmy. Ill check back because that is a vital necessity.

 

Let me know if you need any help wrenching or anything.. I can weld too, so let me know. Temecula is not far from esco..
Truck looks good!

 

Well, thanks a bunch scuba! Thats awesome of you to offer help, and i will let you know man. I'm going to be trying to do a lot of it myself but a helping hand is a welcomed hand for sure.

Oh by the way if you yourself need any help, just holding things together or basic stuff... i do have a bit of experience from the past years of helping my step dad out, so dont hesitate to ask.

 

Sounds like a plan. I'd say we could grab a beer sometime.. But you and me alike wouldn't be able to get into the bar

 

That sounds like a great plan, haha how about out on a trail once i get more fitted for it, well grab a beer, you're going to have to show me some of the trails you have pics of. I have only found 2 or 3 around. Including one my grandpa showed me youll have to check out too.

 

I'd rather grab a beer after we get off of the trail. Drinking on the trail is a nono IMO, and highly frowned upon with TTORA.

I'm used to driving at least an hour to go wheeling. Cleghorn is an hour away, Big Bear is 1.5 hours away.. I really don't know of anything close by, other then wildomar.. I mean, wildomar would be a good place to go and kick it.. hmm..

 

I was thinking camping trip status, more so... haha Im very against the whole drinking and driving thing dont worry about that, i lost an uncle to some stupid drunk. Maybe we can make a trip up there sometime, i think we should plan a yotatech/ttora excursion type deal. Sounds like some fun.

 

To be honest I just plan my trips around the Socal TTORA schedule. I cant ever get a good group here. Also, the couple times I have gotten a group from here to go out it seems like no one has lockers or sliders and only wants to wheel the malls.


I'm going to Big bear next weekend (friday/sat/sun) for TTORA Takeover. There might be 1 spot left in the group camp site we have.. but its 10/20 a night.. Can't remember. If your interested I can get you more info.

If you can't make that, let me know and we'll plan a run.

 

Awesome, if i can get a large amount of money for rock sliders and lockers withing that time, ill let you know! my bday is coming on the 6th so i have to doubt big bear but after that sounds good for a day trip or a day and a night.

 

Hey guys, Ive actually been doing a lot recently, cleaned out all of my grandpas old work shed! And made it mine now so i have an awesome work place and a safe place to keep projects going, this has kept me busy but ive also been thinking with my truck in mind. So i picked up a few things! A free Front diff that a guy from Escondido (where i live) was giving away, how awesome right? Now i can do my gearing and lockers without taking up my entire day and leaving me car-less. And some 95.5 Taco 6 spokes. Yahhhhh!
Shed! looks small but its about 25X15



Rims!

Im painting these, i love them the way they are, but i like them without scuffs and faded alloy... more.

One, sanded down, now painted.

And the rest, tomorrows project.

Diff! The bloody thing was so damn heavy, and after a long 7's rugby tournament its wasnt fun! haha

Got the oil drained and a work place set up

getting deeper
*
lightening the load

As it sits for the night, i wanna get it all nice and clean.



Now i have a few q's.
is it going to pay off to re-gear a front diff? do i have someone put in the Locker? i always hear people say they have to send it off usually to get the gears back in the right spots, etc. I just need a run through on what maintenance and work to do on it. Im pretty mechanically programmable to do my own work i just need to know what to do, how to do it, and what to buy.

Keep in mind a SAS is no were near my trucks future, IFS is going to suffice for about 5 yrs at least.

 

Shes ready to be locked up!


NEXT custom sliders and my new rims, mounted.

 

Nice!

 

You know it dude, wanna help me wrench it in there?

 

Already told you I would. Give me a call sometime and we'll figure out when.
