Sort of... it's always more fun when it's not yours though... hahaha

 

Buhahaha.

 

that is very true haha. I do have a different motor I guess too

 

Effin Amazing truck dude!

 

Thanks Dood!

 

That you do sir. That truck should be a blast with that engine in it. A friend of mine has a truck built very similar to yours (dixon/leaf springs), same power numbers different engine, and it's a blast to drive off-road.

I'm still planning a 347 for mine, but I can't justify it until I blow another transmission or the engine soooo.... when do I get to drive yours? I'll book my flight now.

 

Haha I would rather bring it down there and drive it a bunch. Only time mine would be fun up here would be silver lake, or some ditch bangn lol

Yeah the stock 5.0 is fun,but when I can I'd love to do a lot of work on it. 347 will most def be fun!

 

Andy, the truck is looking great. Good job with everything.

 

thanks man! sadly its already in winter storage. but now I can rip all the glass, wheels etc off and start slowly working on getting it better before spring. Need to get my 4.88s in the front axle as well as install the new extended axles in to get my 4x4 back. I missed it like crazy. I also still need to get my rear shocks on the bench and get them rebuilt to the new specs I want to run.

 

man and i was looking forward to sweet snow drifting vids and snow bank jumping!

 

well I maaaaay take it out in a big snow storm when the plows/salt has not come out yet and go mess around. or at the very leats trailer it to a lake and have some good times.

 

oh man that would be so much fun!

 

can you just do it for me?! please?!

 

Kyle you just browse the Project Logs don't you? Haha

 

lol actually i hit the _since last visit" button and scroll through all the new posts since i was away and respond to the ones im interested in... like this one!!! lol


nice wheels btw Ty

 

Hey, I just had to pay to pickup my front differential. It was being built up with 4:88's the same weekend that the truck got totaled. If you are interested I can snap a couple of pictures. It is wire brushed clean (these things are actually silver), all new bearings, seals, shims and gears. I had the shop add a drain plug into the cover to make fluid changes easier. With tax I paid $625.00. Parts alone were $450.00. I currently have it listed on the classifieds for $450.00 plus shipping (figure $50.00). Maybe we can work something out that would help us both out. Besides, it would only be fitting that a piece of your twin live on as a donor in your truck, right?

 

haha yeah dude we should work something out that would be great. because mine was really leaky anyways so all the seals would have to be done etc.


oh and ps: its snowing like crazy here now, have about 8-10" or so. welcome to winter!

 

Sorry to hear about that. It was so cold today in AZ that I had to wear pants and a long sleeve shirt. I will try and send you a couple of pictures of the diff. in the next couple of days. The same guy that rebuilt my 9.75 built this for me. He does great work and is highly recommended in southern AZ. Since insurance is not being kind, I am trying to sell as much as possible as soon as possible to fund my next truck.

 

i'll pm ya!

 

Someone let me use their heated garage. K thanks! I want to work on this pos, been too long.

its sitting at a buddy's place till his house sells right now. after that idk where its going to go. I should really go over and let it run for a while before it hates me too much.

 

nice insulation

 

yeah Thats my buddy Matt's house you met him before, its like a 2004 model and its the biggest POS house ever. crap garage, cheap structure , no garage door openers and no A/C. and he spent waaay too much on it. new houses suck

 

No more 4wd videos or 4wd? lol Looks good, Keep up the good work.

 

well I'm working on getting it back to 4wd asap. Maybe by buying someones loaded front iff on here but we shall see. hope to get it 4x4 before winter is done and take it for some frozen lake runs

 

why no 4wd? Wrong ratio?

Hey at least it is inside!!
