Haha. No just the carheart coveralls... Haha. However, out run last feb was a brisk 5*. Was -8 when I was loading up the truck onto the trailer in the AM. There was some people there in open top jeeps... BURRR. My heater works soo well that I had my windows down most of the time anyway.. but no glass might be a different story...

You could run a snowmobile helmet and hook up a heated shield.

I destroyed my front diff this weekend. It broke in a odd spot as I was backing out of a line to choose another, heard a loud "pop", thought it was a cv or a leaf spring, so I checked and they seemed fine so we kept going. Came up to the next hill and when the truck started to climb, the front kept skipping and popping. Sounded really crunchy. Back at the house I drained the front fluid and a few teeth came out with the oil... So Im going to throw in spare 4.10 that I have and be back on the trail in no time.

Onward with pics:

















Rest of the pics here:

Homie, you'll LOVE the 4.30's! If you drive on the highway still, need a lil kick up the hills, ..... it was JUST enough for me without winding up whining into the 3200+ RPM range with 31's... My cam helped a lot too, with all that... but just saying, I LIKE the 4.30's... Had 4.56's in my 86 and that was fine, but these seem to do a lil better on letting me get to 90mph without feeling like I'm sitting on a BANSHEE WHINING SCREAMER! lol.

Best wishes... Just checking in on the BlueBerry!...and you of course! hahahaa.

PS> GREAT PICS!!!

Chef, I have 4.30s stock.. And this truck does not see the highway anymore. Hence the pic on the trailer... Haha.

Im having a bit of a hard time finding a rust freeish tank and sending unit.. If any one has one they want to get rid of, let me know..

Hey, thanks Mr Woods!

I got a gas tank today and man it looks so much better than mine! Haha.



The motor swap for my 4runners still a priority (hopefully getting a motor this weekend) , but Ill get that front diff swapped soon just in time for some foliage wheelin.

Yep, I know how that is, mine got all smashed in on my first trip out. If you didn't get a new dent, you didn't have fun.

my runner got dropped off at work today, i trailered it over to lees straight after work and did a bit of wheeling. Im totally pleased, it actually seems to wheel really well. Dual cases with 4.7 in the rear is ridiculously slow. Cant wait to finish up the shop, roll it in there and finish up a few things that it needs.
