Im not sure how to post videos here a lot of people had trouble seeing them the last time. I will try it this way if somone knows the correct way fill me in please.

 

I like you nice easy style it makes for less broken parts....man pictures or video never do justice on off road angles

 

thanks man when you drive a couple hundred miles and have to drive home you dont want to be to ruff, and I like to wheel my stuff not work on it becouse I broke it lol.
and yes Im always let down watching my videos Im always thinking man that was a lot steeper in person.

 

YES, "A lot steeper in person"... My nephew was even noticing that and he's 12, lol. (when he filmed it in Havasu and then watched it later).... GO-pro(?) cams show better, how steep or rugged things are, I think. But in this case, like with my nephew, it's with someone standing OUTSIDE the rig..... WEIRD.

Anyway, GREAT video, loved watching you..... HAVE FUN! I'm glad you got this runner, as well, Jason.... Good idea!

Take care, Buddy.... Hope you're having a great 4th! Are you home and heading out/partying in/fireworks?? lol.

 

hey mark, I kinda wish Id have bought a gopro as they were not much more money than I spent on the cam I got but I got what I got prople will just have to assume I wouldnt shoot video of me driving around on flat ground lol.
we are at home just trying to beat the heat man, Id love to be out in the shop working on the 86 but man its just to friggin hot out there.

 

yeah its hot. and dry we will burn down every thing if we shoot any fireworks...the grass is so dry its crunchy.....14" below on rain so far this year....

I think they banned fireworks until we get a good soaker.

 

DD,..............keep crying!!!! maybe it'll soak the grass around you enough that you can pop some off? hehee.... JK, and seriously... sorry man, that's rough... Funny thing, ... over here, it's totally overcast, was sprinkling, and the temp is around 65*F? Just nuts... I mean, we couldn't see Fireworks if they were to go off right now! hahaha.

 

wow sounds nice almost like a dream...its 104 here.

 

Wow, sorry man... I wasn't... thinking! hahaha.

While everyone is down at the fireworks/out getting drunk.... I'MA GO SEE 'TED'! haha... Maybe "Abraham Lincoln;Vampire Slayer"??? I can't take them out where it's so wide open and dangerous... Have to go where there's climate control and bathrooms, haha. S'all good... My girls are doing their own thing... so now, I CAN DO WHAT I WANNA DO, right? haha.

 

same here man, I normally like it hot but this is friggen crazy hot.


hmmm your choice in movies is ummm well enjoy man. I understand the reasoning, I also understand the kidds and doing what you want to do no wait I should be able to understand but my kidds dont get it lol.

 

Wellllllll, there is the factor that I've seen NEARLY EVERYTHING else already, hahaha.... But you're saying you saw the previews for Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer and it didn't look COOL????? haha... I saw a preview in the theater, while watching "Brave", hahaha... It looked very trippy... not stupid(as it VERY MUCH sounded to me, when seeing the poster, haha).

Sooooooo, Ted, ...that looks lame to you as well? haha... Probably crude, ...no, DEFINITELY, haha.. But the trailer looked pretty funny. It's the Family Guy dudes.... Anywhooooooo, lol... What's looking interesting to you, Jason? Curious whatcha like. I like LOTS of different stuff... But BY FAR, mostly, "Thriller/Murder mystery" and "Sci-Fi" on occasion(Like Predator, Serenity, Pandorum, The Thing)..

Hope you've had a good one so far, guys... hot or not!

I've been in the pool, as it's warmed up quite a bit! Gonna grill Rib Eyes and Corn Cobs and Squash... Then eat my BIG HUGE BANANA CREAM PIE!

 

You guys have some great pics and videos. It is killing me, makes me want to hurry up and get my runner done to do a little camping and trail riding.

 

Sooooooo, Ted, ...that looks lame to you as well?

No thats my style of movie, I like funny stuff or action but even at that Im just not much of a movie guy my attention span just isnt that long lol.

 

I would love to get a bunch of us together and do some wheeling terry, I enjoy all the guys I wheel with but most of them want to run the hardest lines they can find and thats not my style not knocking them just saying. I think most of the guys I talk to on YT would want to run more the same style trail that I do. what Im saying is get that runner done so we can get in the woods, and dirtdober that meens you to lol. thanks for checking in guys.

 

Sup? ..... That's all, just checking in on ya! haha.

I saw a 99 today with SAS that looked a lot like Scotties.. But it had a KILLER roof cage with lights all around/every direction.... Had a front and rear winch slot thingy.... 35's and 8 Hole Alcoa's.... Thing was SICK!

 

Pictures????????????

 

Nope, sorry... But he's local... I'll see him again. I'm using my 100$ Office Depot Gift Card for a new Point and Shoot, soon... That way I'll always have it with me. Another guy I know has a 3800 Buick V6 EFI motor in his 80 PU 4WD on 40's... Thing is FAST! lol.

 

Ok guys I need some opinions please, I have never been happy with the tri spoke wheels on my runner, I have been keeping an eye on CL and even been priceing new ones that is just out of the budget at the moment. so I decided to just do somthing with what Ive got I know a lot of guys just paint them black and run them that way and they look good much better than stock but with my runner being such a dark color I just dont think it would look rite so I anded my own touch.

stock wheel


and what I did with mine.




Im not sure if Im happy with the results so please give your opinions in the end I can always paint them all black.

another thing I need help with is just recently somtimes when I turn I get a ping sound from the front end Im leening towards ball joint but opinions on this issue would be greatly apreciated aswell. thanks for checking in.

 

I'm gonna vote all black. Black and brown together is my idea of a good day.

When the 99's lower ball joint started going it was making a few random popping sounds and grease could be seen on the non-ball joint side of the a-arm. The only thing close to a ping sound I can remember was when the axle cap came loose on the 96 and was tinking a bit. Well, that and random rocks that got stuck in random places. Not saying ignore those ball joints though, better safe than sorry if it's over 150,000mi.

 

I also vote for all black. Good job though. I've wondered what that would look like.

You might put your wheels on craigslist for trade. Somebody might want them. Just a thought.
