awesome, lots of progress since I saw it last. I want to build a "desert" truck so bad. Just somthing about going fast and jumping a truck that is badass

 

besides.. anyone who b!tches about extra noise after doing that much needs to be back handed. ha

 

I would solid mount the body, even with the cab to cage tie in's your probably going to have problems.

 

MOAR PICS MEOW

 

he's in texas and the truck's in cali..

unless he's back in cali now. haha

 

doing the DR people proud in here man

 

im not too concerned about it, it has been done before with solid mounts and with factory, i talked to a guy who raced with the factory mounts and he hasnt had any problems.


update info tho...

blitz long travel is going on soon, going to run a dual rate 10" 2.5 FOX c/o and probably a 3 tube bypass up front..

 

Not really sure where I've been but this is the first time I'm seeing this. Nice man, and like others said, still can't believe you hacked up an '07.

 

Dude you going to be bringing it back to Texas anytime soon? I want to check that thing out!!!

 

thats the first thing i asked him.. i was like i wanna go for a ride! haha

 

x2 but he answered the question

SO CALIFORNIA .... WHENS THE PISMO TRIP? I KNOW YALL WENT LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS OUT OF STATE!!!!!!!!!!

 

ha im down for a pismo trip once the front end is done...

front end will be "modified" to say the least ha, tying in an engine cage to the cab cage, removing inner fenders and core support, mounting everything off the tubing.

a/c, heater core, washer fluid, over flow tank (new catch can will be addded) and a good amount of other stuff are all getting removed.

ordered autofab solid motor mounts today..


andy, i may bring it back to texas late next year, i may try to get stationed at Tinker AFB in OK next year, so it will be close to tx ha. i need to get the front end finished up and buy a new DD first.

 

pismo sounds good

 

pismo trip? what id be down for that im a little over 2 hours away from there. excuse me if your faded in pismo its called thizzmo...

 

i bet i could find a cheap plane ticket out to Cali.

 

So badass, man a prerunner would be so much fun


Southwest has $50 tickets if you book them like a month or two in advance, but if you wait until like a week before they cost more, still not expensive tho.

 

once the truck is done and the extra trans cooler is put on ill post up a pismo thread

 

sounds good

 

and i'll buy a plane ticket ha

 

do it! put the 9" in your bag as a checked in bag haha... then ill link it the next weekend

 

Matt why dont we just drive your truck out there! Have you messed it up in a desert before? lol

 

once i fix the head gasket problem i'll be willing to take it out to cali.. gotta run the hammers and rubicon at some point.


It wont go his trip, once i have a tow rig i'll be all for hauling it out there.

 

i only have a housing. guess i could dig up another 3rd member, once jon puts his old one back in (after i weld it)... i only have 1 spare shaft though.

 

i got a 3rd member waiting for me haha im probably going to buy a GMR full floater housing in december if i go to Key West with work

 

yea FF is the way to go, i need to convert mine.
