Very nice lookin twins! And I LOVE that long flatbed! Lol.... I really do.... remind me of an old military vehicle... I think it was a scout or something, which had a long flat bed with a tent frame that they would throw canvas over.... Love that beast!

 

Hell yeah! Thanks Mark! When you gonna make it out to CO to wheel your beast?

 

That is exactly what it is. Its come in handy on more than one occasion

Haha. It'll be getting a tube makeover as soon as I can afford it.

I am partial to that color. Thanks man. I couldn't pass em up.

 

Decided to make some ball joint spacers at the shop I work at.




Also had the truck in the shop with dad's 70 Bronco half cab. Had to replace a head and head gasket

And the new 220 welder.

 

Like.

 

I have received a couple of sets of BJ spacers and a dozen or so hacked up sets of UCAs from people who had installed the BJ Spacers. After installing BJ spacers many folks are not satisfied with the performance improvements so the next logical upgraded is to install Blazeland Long Arms. When this happens they sent me their old hacked up UCAs as core returns. Installing BJ spacers compromises the structural integrity of the UCA, so I end up scrapping those UCAs. So sad! Maybe you could figure out a way to build a set of BJ spacers that doesn't require hacking up the UCA to install them. But that doesn't do much for the inherent lackluster performance gains of BJ Spacers. Skip the BJ Spacers, order a DIY Weld Up it kit and build your own Long Arms. You got the skills to do it!

 

I think that option is better. Been looking at the spacers and mulling it over in my head and it seems sorta sketch to me especially for such little gain. Would ultimately rather have a lt anyway.

 

Hell, I just looked up that kit. I didn't even know you offered that as an option. I can see that being an definite option on the near future.

 

It's been a while since I have posted here. I have tons of pics to share. Hoping to get everything put up in the next few days.
But I have some news for all that might be interested, SAS in imminent... Stay tuned...

 

Woooot! SAS'sy-Z!

 

I'm gonna just leave this here. Nothing huge but I think it's awesome.

 

Here are some pics from this last season.

Beat on the cab a little bit

 

Great pics! Saw your truck in the mag! Very cool!

Now... Sas plans you say?

 

Yeah SAS is imminent. As you know, hardcore crawling takes its toll on the IFS. My whole system has seen better days. A lot of it is bent. So my buddy is doing a ton swap on his 84 and I bought his build axles. The front has 5.29s, an aussie locker, hydro assist steering, trussed and armored. You know, the whole 9. The rear axle is built to match with 5.29s and another aussie. I will take the aussie out and replace it with my spool. I ordered all the SAS stuff I need today and it will all commence next weekend.

 

Here are some additional pics from this last season.

Truck Fest rock crawl at Bandimere Speedway

And the video that I made for our Snow Wheeler Trip

We had a huge year this year as the Junkies. We kicked it off with the Strictly Crawlers show put on by my buddy Dan Castro. Travis was my spotter at the Truck Fest rock crawl, which I totally failed at. But hey I tried it. At the Colorado Toyota Jamboree, I broke a leaf spring pack the first day on Holy Cross. Replaced the old rears with 51" rears from a 3rd gen pickup.

 

Sweet!!

 

This is awesome. I was just looking at my copy of that Magazine last night and I thought I recognized the Truck. Congrats!

 

Thanks man!

 

SAS done and I love it! Needs some fine tuning but the hard work is done!

 

Looks good! How far foward did you end up moving the box? Are the shackles hitting the frame?

Now you need some 40s.
