The chair up on top of the pickup box looks like a good place to have a beer

thanks, it was minty till the dent on the passenger side from my dad i have a few parts needed to be finished before i can install it. im been holding off on alot of stuff till after this pismo trip. i got an elocker that needs to be regeared to 4.88 and modify my extra axle housing so i can finally have a locker. got a used factory 4.88 front ifs diff ready to be installed as well. during down time, i will be getting a complete alpine system put in, just deck and speakers. maybe amp it.

did get some old school vent visor, if anyone remembers back in the 80s they had those huge bubble visor. well this is one of them that i trimmed to look like todays visors lol still big buti can trim more

thanks chef. it was soo nice to get out. i had so much fun and being around some ex coworkers made it even better. great time around the camp fire swapping stores bout work lol.

been offline for a while due to my laptop (only computer right now) had a charging issue. found out it was just the cable and not the laptop.. saved me some money there. haha. surfing this site on a phone just doesnt do it for me lol.
anyways winter is coming and im getting excite for snow wheeling and boarding. so i been working on a few things. 1st we all know the cargo lighting sucks and seeing most of you guys using oem dome lights was an awesome idea keeping my factory aka how toyota would have done it lol



i been collecting elockers (have 2) since i found out that i can using them in my runner. works been dead and i finally ordered the gearset and setup kit (half off currently at marlin)

took most of it apart today at work. hope to get most of it done tomorrow if not all of it. i still have a spare housing i need to mod to fit

You're gonna love being locked in the rear! If I was doing an e-locker, I'd use this housing...TG Rock Assault

No need to add armor, more ground clearance, and you can weld the spring pads for the correct pinion angle for your setup. Not bad for $419.

been a while since i updated. works being going up and down and new pay plans got me stressing. locker is pretty much done as far as which shim to run. i just got to tear it down and install the crush washer. than mod the extra axle housing i have. than the install.

i been trying to get rid of my steel wheels for some lighter ones. i ended up picking up a set of 15x10 my current ones are 15x8
current set up with spaces makes my 15x8 = 3.75 backspacing
15x10 is 2 backspacing
tires used on both sets are 32x11.5 BFG AT
sticks out too much so im gonna see if anyone has a set of 15x8 3.75 baackspacing that wants to trade, no tires of course

Looking great!

I have the same tires as you.

Remind me, you're running stock suspension with just ZUK in the back and 1.5" BJs in the front? Looks taller than that! My truck looks around the same as yours with a 4" bracket lift in front and ZUK in the back.
