Hey thanks, I dont get out as much as Id like to. Wheelin again on the 29, hopefully I can get a work weekend in before that.

Also picking up a sky 63 kit with u-bolt flip and some new bushings about mid month from a local guy whos parting out his project. So that should be fun.

 

Lookin good man thoses 63s are going to flex awesome

 

I bent the same spot on mine. then a few weeks later a prius slamed into the same spot and went it the other way, dam battery cars.

 

I want to go there, and wheel

 

I know I'm quoting from forever ago, but I'd be concerned about the integrity of those tanks if you found them in a scrap pile. I'd try to get them pressure-tested them to make sure their not gonna blow up or something.

But your truck is cool, in a kind of ruthlessly efficient way!

 

Built for go, not for show.

Ive had 160psi in the tanks for 24 hours with no leaks. But thanks for the concern!

Going back there on the 29th. Whole different game without the snow. That hill is usually a easy 2wd hill. I know its a haul, but your welcome to join. Haha.

 

I'm jealous of the tank find. I'm thinking about building an OBA compressor with two of the MV-1050 compressors and a scrap pile tank.

 

Yeah the tanks were a good find, there were 2 sets in the the dumpster, Im kicking my self for not grabbing the other one too.

Almost got all the parts to get the rear end together. Got the sky 63 kit, with U bolt flip and some new bushing. All I need now is shocks and mounts.

 

What are you gonna do for the front?

 

Rufs. I have a set of 48" rears to that Im going to use in a bastard pack with my Downeys. Shooting for a flat pack and plan on notching the frame. Shooting for 2-3 inches of lift.

 

I hear ya man, Didnt know if you had a bracket lift or something lol.

Just gonna run an 8 inch axle up front?

 

Yup. I have an 85 axle that Ive started building. So far the plan is to wheel the truck this summer, then start the when ive got all the parts

 

Nice! It seems to working how it is really well.
Love to see the pictures man
You get out about 12x as much as i do. haha

 

Thanks! I try to get out at least once a month, Hopefully do a little trail ctting next weekend, then my clubs next run is on the 29th. Im pretty excited.

Also made up a quick cardboard template of my switch panel. I wanted to leave room to add more switches down the road if I need to. It still need final trimming once I can test fit it into the truck.

 

Got my in cab switches mounted:



Used 3 pins of a 4pin trailer connector for a quick release in case I need to take the winch off.



My girlfriend was driving and knocked off the exhaust off...twice. So I decided to fix it for the last time. Took out the cat and welded the Flowmaster right to the down pipe with a small turn down after it. Sits much higher and tucked up now.







Little bump and go.





My truck and 4wheelinvts truck



Next club run is the 29th! Should have some action shots then.

 

That little bump and go, You can rub the out...

 

i love your truck!!! im loving the 35s with no lift and the amount of abuse you have given you IFS. But i gotta ask..why go SAS?? just next in the progression??

 

Because I want to lock the front, And the IFS and 35s will not hold up to that. For or less than the price of RCVs, I can get a solid axle under it that will flex better and allow me to run bigger tires. It still wont happen for a while. Im leisurely collecting parts, but mostly im waiting for something major to go wrong with the IFS first.

If there was a cheaper option for stronger CVS, I would defiantly stay IFS.

 

Oh Lawd thats a nice roomy Garage!

 

What about the SupraLux 8" ifs Upgrade with a locker or LSD?? something to think about.. No matter what I love your truck and its nice to know 35's will fit with no lift and that IFS can kick @$$ offroad....
