Yep, need to figure out exactly where and how still. Probably up by the cab bolted to the bed. I plan to padlock the ammo can as it will have my recovery gear in it.

 

Bleed the steering, wholly shit does that make a difference.  :lol:

is the block supposed to be offset on the leaf perch in that last picture?

 

 

If by 'supposed to' you mean, that's where it is at and even if I fix it again it will move right back to that position...then yes :lol:

 

The pin portion of the casting broke off. I just keep an eye on it and make sure the u-bolts are tight from time to time. The entire rear is getting redone after I get the red truck back out of the garage. My neighbor has a built yota axle with a 1/4 elliptical 4 link that I might just have to purchase, but we will see when I get to that point, need to save up some $ first. :)

 

 

 

Wow, cleaned up great.  Those mudflaps have a big job to do.

 

 

They are ok,but I really want some of these.

But these would be the best. :)

It will save you a bunch of down time in the future.

I like the front diff cover. 

Are you getting much axle rap from those blocks?

also like the vid. 

Looks like a fun trail system.

I already deleted the rag joint. I picked up another couple u-joints that I will put together on order to delete the delete :lol:

 

Then it will just be a u-joint to both splined shafts. The splined shaft on the column is collapsible so the rag joint isn't really needed.

Walker Valley is good times. That was some of the easier trails for the shakedown run, I'll get some video of some of the harder stuff next time we head up there. :)

 

 

 

DAMN IT.!!!!

 

pics of your truck makes me wanna skyjack mine SO BAD.!!!

 

I like it with no front valance & the tan accents are perfect.!  

 

Thanks, I like both elevations :D

 

The new bumper will cover up a bit of that, but I will fit the overall theme. :)

I'm keeping my eye out for some of the plastic 720 flares. Still not sure if I want to run flares or not though.

 

 

Sorry I missed you last time you were in the area...I tend to get carried away with stuff at home and lose track of time. :)

The 720 flares don't stick out much they hang down and make the opening smaller

Went and played in the woods yesterday. Truck did excellent. I really need to get rid of the lift blocks, add another muffler mount and get a battery box. Push button locker is oh so nice. :D

 

Should have some video once I get some time to go through it.
