there,

had to remove the roof basket cause of 2 reasons.. 1.. truck wont fit on my house.. and wont get in threw the security guard. then i wouldnt be able to get into any auto-anything... then 2. im going a rollcage so this was my chance to get everything setup the way i want with everything thought well on the roof to make it as low and close to the roof as possible

comunistico 01-05-2011 12:27 PM

still have no idea what im going to do as a bumper.... ill just wait and see what i decide to do, if another plate bumper, or just go tube bumper or some hybrid tube-plate bumper idk...

seed60 01-05-2011 12:38 PM

Nice start. Are you keeping the bodylift?

comunistico 01-05-2011 01:05 PM

yeah im keeping the BL, i need the room over the engine to move the air filter line upward and make a snorkel, so i got more room to play, plus as i said i want the center of gravity low so that way i dont have to lift alot the suspension and keep it as close to the frame as possible, then when i take of the stock fenders and add some "bushwacker" imitation fender flares on so i wont have any clearence issues.

and besides i need those 3" over the frame under the cab to fit the winch the way i want to, so it doesent go infront of the truck but inside the truck

comunistico 01-05-2011 01:10 PM

@seed always laughed when i saw ur sign... very true IMO!

Can I stop by Costa Rica and have the bumper?

How long is the shop gonna take for the sas?

comunistico 01-05-2011 01:14 PM

the locker arrived today. so im gona lock the rear with the elocker, and the LSD from the rear im gona instal it on the front axle so gona stay locked rear and semi locked front,

comunistico 01-05-2011 01:29 PM

yeah sure come by and pick it up XD

the guy told me some 3 weeks but im not gona keep such high hopes as i might have to order some parts from USA and that takes 10 days to arrive. so my guess is for first week of feb or the second one.

im leaving next whole next week to do some social service on some rural areas down soth my country so its gona be fun watching 1 week progress upfront

03crewcabranger 01-13-2011 11:52 AM

How's the progress going, man? Got any pics?

comunistico 01-15-2011 12:09 AM

got a few pics i have on the phone ill get tomarrow. just came back from a week long work trip to an amazing beach on the south of the country with the ocean full of plankton first time i see it and it was great how much bright it was swiming at 3 am on the beach.... after a few beers (ocean was 300 feet away from shore chest deep ... cristal clear....and calm as a swiming pool as it is located in a gulf so no currents what so ever...no danger of drowning lol ..).. o well


got my rear locker today! so hopefully they gona start tearing the rear apart to get the LSD moved to the front and install the rear locker and ordering gears for the front

on monday they are supposed to get the brackets and some stuff for the turbo that needed to get moved to be able to place the steering box .

also talking to the mech we bel.ive truck gona sit as prolly as high as it is right now on the jackstands... a lil taller than what i want but i just need to get wider then.

hope to get real pics on monday when parts arrive.

Bird76Mojo 01-15-2011 02:31 AM

Are you positive that the LSD in the rear will fit the front??



GB :)

comunistico 01-16-2011 12:10 AM

yeah, i just need to buy thick gears to be able to use the series 3 carrier LSD.

got a call today from the guy working the truck.. said " hey would u like to see ur truck sitting on 38s?"

axles is already under the truck! sitts pretty low actually even on 38s boggers! to bad the shop was full so there was no way i could take a pic of the truck as it was. space was crowded dont know how he works there...

either way axle is in, tomarrow he takes it off again to start setting up the steering box.

i got already the maxxis big horn almost sold (33s) and im probably getting some maxxis creepy crawler 35s that the mech. can get for cheap new...

Attachment 90253

hope tomarrow be more room to take some pics
