flatcat19 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 i dont know how i missed this... im in love with this thing! the camper is the best! im wondering if its just the 520 that has the skinny track width that makes those rallies fit so well. i wouldnt mind runnig a set on my 620... I want a set after seeing this. I hope they fit as good on my 521 as they do on this truck. This has just become one of my favorite trucks here. Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 not sure really, i think there is a 620 with rally wheels posted somewhere in the "truck wheels" thread, from the pic i saw of the 320 posted with rallys I thought they would poke too much and I would have to lift it up but Quote Link to comment
copydat Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 15x8's up front with no power steering........ punishing but I love it! Such a sick stance man - just perfect! If someone has a 620 LWB with these rims please pm me as I'm focused on gettin' sum! ;) Quote Link to comment

bart taylor Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 yes the lack of power steering has become very evident :D Quote Link to comment

mcdatsun Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 That thing is awesome. That's the first truck I've seen that makes me think that I may want to get away from the stock look of mine and lower a wee bit. And I loves me a canopy! Quote Link to comment
Ofeargall Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I may have found my battery box solution!! I really like the idea of using plates for that. How's that LP working for ya? I bet after a hot day it'll have a pretty cool looking 'drape' to it. We made some tortilla chip party bowls in the oven using records. Pretty sweet looking. Doesn't take much heat to form them.

bart taylor Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 i know this building.... i swear i do... as if i have pulled into it once before know it.... where was this taken? its a boat shop in Hoquiam, if you have driven up 101 out of town you may have seen it, but its a few blocks off the 101 Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted July 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 its two records as the lid, we did a wall in our living room with album covers so we had about 50 records just waiting to be repurposed :D I haven't noticed any sag to it yet. the stock hold down was almost rusted thru so I took an old NY plate I had in the garage and made a new hold down, the rusted old one is still under the plate for extra action.

JP521 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Beuty truck, nice wheel and funny way to ensure the battery lol, but why Gertrude??? Quote Link to comment

Ya, take those albums and set them on an overturned pot in the oven and turn it on low. Cool bowls. No too good for lucky charms in the morning unless you JB Weld the hole in the center.

Ofeargall Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Incredible truck, by the way. I really like the stance. There's a statement in this rig; it's saying "you don't need a fortune to create a unique and enjoyable look". Good work letting creativity drive the project, not the dollar signs. No offense to those who've spent big money on their rigs, I just prefer this look. Variety is good. Saving money is really good... Quote Link to comment
dirtydiesel Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 its a boat shop in Hoquiam, if you have driven up 101 out of town you may have seen it, but its a few blocks off the 101 Yeah i have been up in that area a few times. I work in the fishing industry i must have past it delivering parts or to work on a boat. That's an awesome truck btw. Mines still in peices. Quote Link to comment
Cahoon520 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Very nice truck. I love the stance....How does it ride with the the leafs removed? Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Beuty truck, nice wheel and funny way to ensure the battery lol, but why Gertrude??? my g/f made me name the truck the day I got it, thats what I named her...no real idea why :D it doesn't ride to bad, the secondary truck I had before was a mazda with similar setup so I am used to it a lil soft with the occasional frame/rearend contact on big bumps Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 thinking i need some pinion shims, got a lil noise going on in other news i think i need to build a scooter.....probably a ruckus... Quote Link to comment
copydat Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 hey bart did you remove a leaf in the rear or not? Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 holy late reply, haven't been on the forums in a while IIRC i took out 2 leafs in the rear Quote Link to comment
copydat Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 2 leafs? per side? Does it ride like shit now? Did you remove the bump stops? Questions questions questions! Throw up a pic under the rear for us. Quote Link to comment
bart taylor Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 bump stops got removed a few days after i got it when i had the wheels off to bleed the brakes, i will count leafs/take pics next time i play in the garage in the daytime Quote Link to comment
