I always get a kick outta these types of posts from others so I like to do them when Im building something.....anyway

My S-Blazer is sold and getting a new home/owner, it provided me with lots of fun and wheeling (I owned it 5 years) It went to Hot Springs Ar, Disney Ok, KsrocksPark, Randolph Ks and just about every local trail it could find inbetween it even saw Alabama a few times and the beach in Florida.

So now that its gone, I feel compelled to build my current daily driver (waste another perfectly good vehicle...) and let it morph in somewhat the same manner as the Blazer did....only worse cuz I own a tube bender and welder now and have alot more knowledge from PBB and practicing on my friends junk. SOOOOO to get to the point, heres the plan.

89 C1500 I bought this as a2wd with a bad 4.3L and 5 speed.

I swapped in a .030 over 350 and utilized all the TBI and what not to keep it injected.

I have found a donor 3/4T chebby with a d44 front and 14b rear. Im plan to take the SM465 and Tcase out of it as well to use in my 2wd to 4wd conversion.

I ordered Rubicon Express Brackets (RE9986,RE9988) for the front Long Arm suspension setup (hope to have them next week) and I have a full set of front and rear ZJ springs that should be here tommorow. The plan up front as stated is to run ZJ front coils and Im building my links with 1.5x .215 wall DOM that have 4 3/4 chromo rod ends at the axle and I have 2 threaded Bushing ends at the frame. (the other two ends on the top of the axle are bushings that are supplied with the brackets I ordered from RE)

Front suspension layout will be similar to this...(pic stolen from RE website)
http://www.fuelie.org/gallery/data/500/14tjundercarriage-med.jpg

The rear I am going to 4link dual triangulated and I plan to use a Spyder Customs Diff guard with ears to brace my cross over tube and what not. Im going to run 4.10s (stock) gears in it for now as it will still be a DD :eek: and I should have (cash talks big props to you!!) A set of polished aluminum blingy type wheels Friday...and Im going to run 37x12.50 Radial hummers on this one instead of the Bias Ive been using. I will also convert the rearend to Disc brake before it goes in because I can :flipoff2: I plan to weld the rear because Im cheap and Im leaning towards an Aussie Locker up front for traction.

THE BODY
Im taking the bed off for starters as I intend to shorten the wheelbase to 119 I want to tube/cage it and tie it in for a very stout chassis frame, the chebby frames are stupid weak and flex alot I dont want mine to continue the trend.... I am thinking of hacking up my bed and skinning my tubework with it just so it still halfass maintains a stock look (shorter and cooler of course with big openings for tires...)

So anyway I plan to document this one..and I should have some before and during pics coming along over the next few weeks/months. Heres the victim while I was putting the 350 in it...:nuke: :skull: :beer: :vader2: :ghost:

http://www.fuelie.org/gallery/data/500/14towslutcage.jpg

I too enjoy the build up stories along with the pics. Looking foward to watching this come along!:)

Gonna shorten the topper, too?:flipoff2:

I have a grille w/the chrome peeling off if you need one to hack. Let me know, Paul. Should have kept the 60:D

I found another one super cheap...still undecided on it though money has to be tight and spent proper to make this thing happen. :(

Got the wheels last night, they sure are shiney...lol

Got a hella deal on them thats why I bought em

http://www.fuelie.org/gallery/data/500/14blingrims-med.jpg

Makes me wish I would have had a red star or a hosting site when I was building the black sheep. Too bad Pdaddy told me I couldn't help on this one, he is scared I would make it too functional and pretty. :rolleyes:
Funny thing is that he doesn't have another DD while he is building this one just laying around. THAT is dedication.
I vote go with the other 60 you found. then crossover is free with a little fab work, you can get on it and not worry, and you will pay yourself back with the money you would be spending on new 44 axles every weekend. Remember, this is a fullsize with more weight on the front than that S-10 had.

60's are getting so trendy though :flipoff2: Your right about weight....how much can I cut off the frontend before the law takes notice while Im on the way to Sonic? :eek:

I think the powers that be in Paola let you get away with about 74.5% less front end material before they get worried. I would push it, though. Fawk Johnny Law:D

Paola cops are too stoopid to know any better. Start getting pictures up and get that thing done. What are you gonna drive. MilesPerHour has an IROC sitting not getting driven:shaking:

Drive your old man's willys!:flipoff2:

Heres a pic for inspiration... I like the looks of this rig...:D :flipoff2:

Are you gonna be at ton'y the 24th. Hows the project coming along. Not sure if the truck is gonna make it but got a new 4 wheeler that will for sure. Got my DIY beadlocks made by a guy on CK5 cyberfire, can't help but show ya a pick both plates have the design for a 3d look.

http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/11/web/575000-575999/575824_13_full.jpg

Those are damn cool lookin!!! I will probably be at Tonys party I sold the Blazer so Im a spectator this time.....

My project is going REAL slow lol....I have the links about done,Miles and I are still tryin to wrap up the truck deal with sqwiggy so I have the axles and tranny tcase. I did get my coils, I am also waiting on my brackets from RE to get here they still havent showed up yet :rolleyes: Ive been fairly tempted to take the bed off and start cutting it up to skin the tube I want to put on there.....waiting on parts still.

Ill be busy on my dads willys for now Im doing a 4link in the front and he dropped it off at the shop with the parts last weekend...one day Ill get to work on my own shit :laughing:

theres nothing wrong with them wheels. hell there so cheap weve been puting them on all the rigs weve been building lately.
and they look real good with some beadlocks on them.

Bob do you do 16.5s though? I have a buddy at a machine shop Im tryin to get to BL them for me.....Im tryin to go cheap here though :(

16.5s are outsourced to another company but we can get them done.
I will get the info tonight and post it up. not sure on the price though ?

I'd like the info too, have the same wheels and want to beadlock 'em, 16.5's x12's would rather hook them up rather than buy new ones for BL's like Hummers or something.
Paul if you find someone up there local, tell 'em you got another guy interested. I'm ready to move on it.

That rig is going to be sweet. I can't wait to see it man. I never did get to wheel with you, but I will still miss that Blaz somehow. Hehe... I think them tires and wheels i bought from ya might actually get used on my DD :D

Kert, Cybrfire, makes some good shit. I asked him about alum. Currently he is unable to make them.:(

Any word on the 16.5s in aluminum ? Looks like theres a little more interest in this than I thought...Hell I get the tires basically free so 16.5's are my friend until I get a goot job :flipoff2:

American: The blaze went to a good home, its getting scout 44s put under it and will be back on the trails again....

My local guy didnt seem to excited about doing the wheels, something about using his works equipment without asking...:flipoff2:


I FINALLY got the donor truck thing sorted out again, so I should have the axles, tranny and Tcase for my swappage by the end of next week. Ill have to do another cash flow check after I get those to the shop :( I dont want to get into this and have to wait to finish hence the parts before the building starts... ;)

Oh yea, showed my wife the wheels...her reply


To pretty for anything you own :laughing:

Heres a pic for inspiration... I like the looks of this rig...:D :flipoff2:
Paul mailed me the pic of the big black one 2 months ago and said "fawk it, I am doing my daily driver like this. This is way too badass. It will still be my DD too." I told him he was silly to fawk up his perfectly good dd, but I always do the same thing.
I hope your parts collecting wraps up soon. I am tired of driving by your house and looking behind your garage to see a 1/2 2wd sitting back there. Let's see that bitch as a 3/4 4wd at least. :cool2:

Yea time and money are always the hardest parts of a new project :laughing: I did kick a big ass dinger in the side of the bed Friday night in a booze induced jackie chan move....(my wife digs body damage :rolleyes:) you never showed at Rounders so we all started ordering shots....bad juju :flipoff2:

Got my dads Willys sitting on the coils and the lowers are in place as well its out at the shop youll have to check it out sometime....its pretty cool :grinpimp:

Picked up the donor rig last night...not exactly what I wanted was told it was, has a fawkin 10 bolt in it (sqwiggy is either blind or on crack...I was pissed but he said hed work something out with me) The damn Tcase is a slipyoke 205 as well...WTF :confused: Im going to swap the outters off the 3/4T 10 bolt to a 44 I have (more work and $$) The motor lasted about 15min with Miles driving...rammed the POS olds behind the shop a few times and it sounded like it wasnt oiling and the pistons were dragging the cyl walls...

man that's purdy. How's the windshield? if it is not cracked I might be interested. Let me know I'll be up there this weekend.

Did the brakes work good if so I could use the master cylinder if you want to bring it out to ton'ys with ya, I'll bring ya some extra beer for it. Did ya get my pic I sent ya, what ya think.

Whos this? Anyway the windsheild has a big ol spiderweb in it unfortunatly

backyardblt, yea man your wheels look sick I got the pic :smokin:

If I can get the rest of the links under dads junk Saturday Ill go out to the party...hell Ill hang up the towel and go anyway LOL Dads links setup should be done mid morning Saturday if the wife lets me cut out early enough...

http://www.fuelie.org/gallery/data/500/14dadslink2truck-med.jpg

Looking good, too bad its not done you could test it out, out there.

Looks bad ass I like to see it this weekend let me know if you will be there.

Looks bad ass I like to see it this weekend let me know if you will be there.
Shouldnt you be at work fucker!! LOL Ill be out there probably most the day Saturday morning..you going out to Tonys party? Is Kelly going too? Miles is ready again...hes tough on shit :laughing:

Yes my shit is ready I dont know if Kelly is going, I don't think so he sad that he don't want to brake his truck before Cass. Let me know what time you guys or going I will follow you down.

Ps: It Rained

What a puss he has a whole damn month...there aint shit out there to break on anyway (Im callin you out blacksheep10 :flipoff2: ) Ill be around though call me cell

Tony said rain or shine it is gonna happen, they got the food already and have to use it don't have the room to store it.

so where are you mounting the dryer- maybe in the back for a toolbox :flipoff2:

so where are you mounting the dryer- maybe in the back for a toolbox :flipoff2:

Funny shit.
I will be at bartons if I get some brakes figured out and get hauled down. My shit doesn't stop right now, not at all. It is getting hot all the time, too.

This thread is way off topic but its all good...the Blacksheep was getting it yesterday, I cant even count how many times I saw the front wheels off the ground :eek: That shit was cool, the drypen got owned... :grinpimp:

I need to get your video, heath sux at taping. You couldn't see the fronts come off, and his angles were all wrong.
As of pretty soon, I might be the proud owner of a wagoneer. A big one. Hopefully it is in the works. I am not a jeep or dodge guy (440/727 under hood) but I will give it a good home. It also has a Ford rear axle. Maybe I can put a Chevy front under it and make it a full bastard.

Wyatts? Thing needs to get wheeled ! :flipoff2: Doesnt it have a HP60 in front? You guys suck with your 60 Hordin ass's I need a Fawkin 60

Update??

Update??


Im tryin to get it all sorted and I "want" to do it all the first week of June.

Im sending Shakerbuilt a knuckle to drill and tap and buying an arm from him, money and knuckle should leave here tommorow to him.

PSC rock ring will get ordered next week so I can get the 14b out back linked up propa The 14B is disc braked welded and prepped for paint (thanks for the trade on rotors Backyardbuilt)

Minden is going to hook me up with some 52in leaves up front (arent you :flipoff2: ) so Ill just leaf the front to help afford this project

I should get some pics up pretty soon if Im not to lazy/intoxicated I took the first week of June off so we shall see :evil:

Is that 80's or 70's bodystyle? All the 80's except the crewcaps had slipyoke 205s, if it was a 70's...your right it shoudl be fixed.

Actually I have one of each at the moment :flipoff2:

CHANGE OF DETAIL...Looks like Im going to try a set of Ford F150 rears up front, I sold a car last night and the guy I sold them to had a set sitting by the garage and gave them to me, great shape with the shackles attached too. 53" :grinpimp: :grinpimp:

Knuckle is going to Shakerbuilt today for mill and drill and buying an arm from him for xover as well. :D

I started to bend/build a tube front bumper for it last night. Hope to finish it tonight. Ill see if I can get pics of that, I may hang the front spring mounts on it this weekend as well and just have them on it already for the swap in a week and 1/2. Can you tell Im itchin to tear into this thing?! If I can stay productive this weekend I hope to get the axles pretty much done minus the pass side 44.. Shaker wont have my knuckle until Tuesday so Ill be waiting on that for the frontend to be complete.

*******Kelly/Ben/any other locals.... you have any frame brackets that are easy to get too or not on a moving rig? I hate to make that donor truck non-mobile just for 2 front hangars off the rear springs... (I have a front frame half with the other hangars I need and i have shackles too..)

I know you are quite a ways away from U-Wrench-It, but they always have an abundance of vehicles you could swipe it from. hmm... I'd let you have them off of my donor, if I wasn't gonna use them... It's the thought that counds :P

Scratch your itches... :D

Paul, I have a set of frame hangars still on my old K5 frame, there yours if you want em. Bones and I are goin to KS Rocks tomorrow, Could bring em out to you or you could pick em up... :flipoff2: give Bones a shout or call me @ 816-506-8530

I have hangers off a 1/2 ton and there off the truck to.

I talked to Paul on Saturday and he said he had a big front bar and stinger done and on the half ton 2wd. Said it looked pretty funny. He also said he would post up the pics. Where the fawk are they, HMMMM? I can't wait to see a 2wd with a stinger taller than the hood.

LOL I dont have any pics of it .... :flipoff2: No digi cam... I need to steal Miles.

Ordering all the tabs for my link and shit from A&A today, Im not sure what Ill use though I found a metal brake here at work and Im excited to use it...

Next week its AWN. :grinpimp:

I got a digi cam, bring that shit over after work and we will post up some funny shit for all to enjoy

Im not showing anyone my penis......



:flipoff2:

How :cool: cool are you when you drive around with a stinger on your 2wd that isn't a prerunner :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Kansas PreRunner. :laughing: :laughing: :flipoff2:

hopefully we wont' hear much from Pdaddy this week. He is supposed to be doing the straight axle and rear lift and stuff this week that he has off from work. I need to go get some pics while he is torching the shit out of it and post up for you guy's benefit. :laughing: hopefully he gets it done and comes over to help me finish mine the rest of the way for the Cass gathering

You got me good with that shit, now Ill have to press charges for you tresspassing on my land!!

" You boys drinking on mah land?! Fixin to get yo ass' whooped"

name the flick


Anyway my shit is going slow slow, Yesterday was the first day I got to work on it and my dads POS dd I was supposed to borrow had no fawkin brakes, spent alot of time fawkin with it...then I went to test drive it and of course my cell was on the front bumper so I lost that...spent alot of time lookin for it. Then Minden no showed with the spring brackets....worked out though since I just finished welding up a set for the front of the springs and I went by his shop this morning and snagged the ones for the shackles... Front end was all tore out yesterday so now Im taking a moment to let shit cool off before I hang the front end under the truck......

Its always something.......

OK well there is this little thing they invented. We like to call it an "update"... heard of it?? :flipoff2:

Oh yea and don't forget the mo-fuckin pics bia

Oh yea and don't forget the mo-fuckin pics bia

Ill be out there tonight to finish up the rear link setup. Ill snap some shots and report back tommorow (I have no star though to post :flipoff2: )

mail them to me fag

Hey, I used to have a nice white workbench just like that in my garage. My wife would get mad every time I used it - something to do with clean clothes...

Holy shit didnt realize so many people from the KC area were on this forum. This thread seems to have more pics than the one on TK4x4 :flipoff2:

wtf are you talkin about man? I wasn't aware that we were talking about washing machines?........... :confused:

pdaddy just sent me this dark ass pic. I think what I wrote in it pretty much sums up the sentiments of all picture viewers

At least it is proof that he is doing something. I think the red diff cover in the front pretty much outlines where his preferences lie, ie :rainbow: :rainbow: At least he is building like a truck should be built, drunk. Look at all the cans and boxes :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

:laughing: That pic was taken at like 2am and we were fully polluted


Dude if you think the red diffy in the front is gay, your going to love my rear end.....whoa that sounded really gay.. Red diff cover, black PSC rock ring,bling bling rodends and threaded inserts on the links (DOM at that) Red Calipers on the disc conversion....oh yea I got the mall cruiser in full effect on this truck :flipoff2:

maybe it isn't the color of the front diff cover that is so gay, mabe it is the size Dude, buy a 60. It will make you life so much nicer to not have to buy new axles every weekend.

60 60 60 blah blah blah money money money its the same song and dance. One day when the money is there and I get a deal Ill put a 60 in it. Im not going to sweat it until then though. :flipoff2: This is still my DD Ill be a little more respectful of it then I was with the blazer...a little :evil:

I wanted to run over to MPH to see the progress last Thursday, but Blacksheep is a slave driver. He had a laundry list of things that needed done before Cass, so I got back to welding. Next time you see the Blacksheep check out the blingin' cooler holder, I used a level, lol. You'll know what I mean when you see it.

LiveWire, what year are? I graduated '01. Planning on making it back for at least two home games this fall. Try to hook up and drink a few at Porters or Chance.

Just finished freshman year, will be 20 this fall :flipoff2: Im working towards a degree in Mech. Engineering. Ill be at more than a few of the games :D

Oh im in Shawnee, KS right now (west KC area)

Just finished freshman year, will be 20 this fall :flipoff2: :D

Get a fake! No seriously get a fake! Not only will it help your social life, ass comes so much easier when you can go out. Not an opinion, a proven fact!

You'll have to ask Blacksheep about my hook ups in Aggieville back in the day, I'm not sure why I graduated and went and got a real job and all. So much has changed since then! Blacksheep used to work at Joe's, he was up in Manhappyness for a few semesters.

I heard about that thing LOL, I got to see the vid last night from Cass, that was awesome...and the chicky on the way back with her goods hangin out wasnt bad either :grinpimp: :flipoff2: Blacksheep,MPH,Backyardbuilt and another dude showed up at the shop , needless to say I didnt get shit accomplished. Its funny when people show up to help.. thats really code for

"Lets stand around drink beer and talk alot of shit" :laughing: Good news is I took a bunch of digi pics so once I get them on this puter I can send em someones way and they can hook up this sorry excuse for a project thread

Oh im in Shawnee, KS right now (west KC area)

that isn't that far from all of us, you should come to my mud run. Plenty of ass there, albeit, some of it trashy. They still like to hump too. just a day of horsepower in light ass trucks, ask anyone that has been, it is a blast. June 19, paola KS. If you get to paola or any of the surrounding intersections, (169/68, 169/paola exits, 69/311th street, etc) you can find it because there are 4'x4' plywood signs guiding the way.

sometimes you just gotta fight through the distractions and get shit done. You know how good I am at that. Oh wait, maybe I wouldn't be scrambling at the last minute every time if I could do that.

I was about to say...shit I KNOW Ive kept you from doin shit plenty of times when I showed up with a few :beer: My deal is,I just didnt feel like doin shit last night. I got a few detail things figured out so Friday I can get in there (early without beer) and get some shit done. Really isnt that much there to finish it. Im going at lunch to get the hardware I need to bolt the rest of it together. still waiting on ass boy here at work to send me the pics I took.... :rolleyes:

go and ro sham bo him for the pics, just make sure you kick first

I sent you the pics..... that first one is my boss's door we hooked him up when he was at lunch last week :laughing:

bling is right, especially that shiny lockout in the middle of the badass, I mean cheap ass wheels. :flipoff2: LOL Anyway, it is finally coming along, even though it is going as fast as old people fuckin, slow and painful. Maybe the turtle will win the race on this one, slow and steady (or slow and intoxicated)

Rod end supply didnt have the fawkin 3/4 spacers I needed... :mad3: wasted a fawkin drive across town on my lunch for nothing! The rear should be damn near done tommorow afternoon...I took the day off well again :evil:

And yes the uppers and lowers still need to be finished out, obviously that little bracket I made sitting in the frame rails isnt going to be left like that.. I tend to box it in and along with around 6-8 inches of the frame rail at that point to help strengthen this pathetic excuse for a frame rail.... These trucks are built really shitty from the factory..and Im being polite in that statement. I also took the rear stock crossmember out and intend to slide it forward and bolt it back in to help out...then a trailer hitch deal cut down and welded into the frame rails in the rear... Ive done this on several trucks with good results and it makes a nice clean easy tow point out back. (Plus I still have 2 more hitches that I didnt pay jack for to cut up!)

Here are a couple more shots.

should I just bring the murf? I can borrow pete's trailer and drag the sheep and the murf up. By the way, picked up pinky today. I now have 3 60 fronts and 4 400/205's. I lika tha beef. Ben also got a high pinion 60 today. good day for Paola wheelin

Come on man! Hook a brudda up with a front 60 :flipoff2:

I need a 60 more than you do :flipoff2:

Once you get your shit done let me know, I wanna see it.
Go ahead and mail me a fake :pimp:

Give me better directions to the mud and ill be there! I live right off of I-435 West

Come on man! Hook a brudda up with a front 60 :flipoff2:

Can you hook me up with a front bumper like yours for the cost of a few cases of beer? :smokin:

Livewire, you wanting Bones's bumper or Pdaddy's? I think Pdaddy needs to just give his away, and go down to Dorghteys and have Chase bend up a more pointy stinger.

As for the mudrun. Get on 35 south, at Olathe you'll take 169 South to Paola. Start looking for huge Mudrun signs once you get to the 1st Paola exit. Hard to miss. Bring beer, and chicks, and plan on staying late, cause the party after is awesome. My only real advice is: if she looks like a stripper either she is or was, but either way she'll do ya'. Miami Counties finest ladies will all be on hand!

I need a 60 more than you do :flipoff2:


I just saw in your sig line.......35's? You don't need a 60 with those street tires!

Blacksheep10 and I were reflecting last weekend about a few summers ago and the tires that where laying around his shop. It was like $15K in random tires, a couple sets of 44's (TSL's & Bogger's), quite a few full sets of 40 boggers, 38 TSL sets, and the list goes on. And those were just his, doesn't even count Heaths or mine. So as you can see, you can easily figure out how Blacksheep10 has become a 60 horder.

Hell I dont care who makes the bumper, who wants the beer?

Hook me up with 40's and a 60 then biotch! :flipoff2:

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2474271&postcount=382

Need a bumper like that so I can stand on the 'ish when I work on it.

that isn't that far from all of us, you should come to my mud run. Plenty of ass there, albeit, some of it trashy. They still like to hump too. just a day of horsepower in light ass trucks, ask anyone that has been, it is a blast. June 19, paola KS. If you get to paola or any of the surrounding intersections, (169/68, 169/paola exits, 69/311th street, etc) you can find it because there are 4'x4' plywood signs guiding the way.

When should I get there?

I forgot to mention im a thread WHORE :D

yeah, fuck paul's truck anyway. Come at 3, it starts at 1, but that gets the quads and stock trucks out of the way

Hopefully I can get off work. Should I look for you guys? How do I find you?

I will be in the center of the pit area running the show, but Paul (pdaddy) will be hanging out on the sidelines somewhere. Just have to get his number and call him or something

PM your number Pdaddy :D

Did one of you guys IM me last night?

Pdaddy's party was fun as hell last night. The blacksheep made a good showing. I made some new hills over some trees in the wee hours of the morning. It was a good time all in all, except I bent the inside wheel on my beadlock when I hit the rock garden at a high rate of speed. My tire didn't go flat until this morning, though.
Good time, good times. Now for the mud run preparations

It was a badass time to bad big orange decided it was time for a new starter and a steering box brace. The sheep was getting it and bones roll was kool too.

My truck wanted a new starter too. Only paid $39 for it though :D

Yup! Good times!

:barf: No real damage though. Windshield is good enough to stay until next time, more cab damage making it real tough to get a full door back on. $9 at the car was and it still looks like poo poo

Paul I have your shoes at my place. Kelly I have some of your zip tied panels as well. I'll be down south Saturday and can meet up with one of you

I had a damn fun weekend.....my body is still in pain though :evil:

Tearing into a Tacoma so the guy can get the diffs regeared. (side $$ form a newbie :D) Then pick up the XJ coils I hope. I'll be as far south as Olathe.

Yup! Good times!

You flop over after let me out! :flipoff2:

Brett

Always thinking of the passengers :D

Hell I was tryin to get in it to ride in the recover attempts :evil: :laughing: Ive never been in one floppin back over....I have been in one that landed back on its wheels once.

Hey Paul I saw the bike in the pit later on. Guess it will stay there huh :flipoff2:

Hell I was tryin to get in it to ride in the recover attempts :evil: :laughing: Ive never been in one floppin back over....I have been in one that landed back on its wheels once.

I didnot get to ride when mine flipped...

Thank GOD!

LOL which one of you rode the bike into the mud?

When I went back out at God knows when in the morning, I almost perforated a tire on the bike laying down in the mud hole. I don't like mud until I get real trashed, then it is too much fun. almost the most fun I had was towing Miles's busted ride all the way from the bottom of the property to the top, BACKWARDS! :eek: He was just holding on and ducking every time a tree would come his way or when I would hit mud and pelt him. I bet I drug him through the mud hole at 20, I was tapped out in second. Funny stuff.
I am glad that Paul was advertising for the mud run, that looks to be the 03 shirt

LOL which one of you rode the bike into the mud?

That would be me...... I made it twice..third time wasnt so lucky, I wiped out alot and burnt the hell outta my leg on the exhaust....good times...

To bad we didnt get any pics of me riding in the Barbie Heep behind Miles ATV.. it was going good until he hit a U turn in second gear wide open and the front of the barbie Heep was in the air slinging me like a retard on a tube behind a boat...I had it too..until the Heep busted in two and me and the ass of it went cartwheeling across the lawn! :laughing:

Oh yea....the rig is real close but Im not touching it until next week probably. In the middle of a contract on my house and helping my wife and daughter get ready to leave town next Monday. Looks like Im in Kansas until July 12 if all goes as spelled out in the contract.

[QUOTE=Pdaddy]Oh yea....the rig is real close but Im not touching it until next week probably.

More Picks!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, welcome to Chevy chit chat, I will be your flight attendant. We are currently on page 5 of Chevy chit chat, and will surely forge ahead at 74 knots (sp?) until we find a new thread to chit chat all to hell.


More Picks!!!!!!!!!!!

We don't need any pics, this is for bullshitting only. We can see pics after he is in Bama and driving it. You are just jealous that I can go over to his place and criticize his welds while he works on it any time I want :flipoff2:

No carnage from a flip over but sounds like a had a crank barring go out that day. Might have been when I took the front wheels off the ground. Hahaha! Had a great time at Paddys.

More Picks!!!!!!!!!!!

can you put a trailer ball on it somewhere for me :flipoff2:

... been a week biotches

... been a week biotches

My wife and daughter left for Alabama this morning, so needless to say I didnt even look at the truck last week as I was spending time with them and getting everything packed. This week should see much progress on the truck. I would like to finish it and have it driving by this weekend...have to see how things progress. Its really not far from it as it sits.

Did you get my e-mail about pics/video. If you need some help not a drinking partner give me a call I'm on vacation this week. Mine should be back together by this weekend too. Do I hear wheeling on sunday possible.

Hey Paddy let me know if you need any parts to get done for this weekend.
I will have to come out to see it sometime before you leave.

I need to drill two holes, dont have a drill press at the shop and I dont have a 3/4 bit. When can you drill them? Thats about all I need at this point besides going out there and getting busy. Ill be out there tonight getting after it a bit.

My girls are gone so I dont have shit else to do.. :(

I have a drill press and new bit if you want to come over to my slum of a shop. Just give me a call. I should be in there all night working on the white S-10

Also, I totally fucked the link mounts and everything up on the back of the sheep yesterday. it is some pretty bad carnage. After that, I cut reverse donuts in the field. You would think that something would break with it at full lock and full throttle in reverse with big bogs, but wait, oh yeah, I have a 60 :flipoff2:

What did you do to the sheep now?!

I broke all 6- 3/8" bolts that hold the top bridge on the rear cover when I came down climbing a hill under full throttle. I had the hill, but when the bridge let go, the rear shaft came out and the crossmember that holds the links bent forward. It was some good impact. It does reverse donuts like no front wheel drive car I have ever been in ever does. I just need to bend some shit back straight and buy 1 u-joint and it is fixed. Not bad for the kind of action I threw at it. I was even sober. I just said fuck it and went to see dodge ball. Awesome flick by the way

Thanks for the Bumper PDaddy!!!!!

No problem Brett..

I got mine sitting on the wheels and tires, I just took Friday off so I can sort the drive shaft and all that out, should be streeting it Friday afternoon/evening. Hopefully I can get a few sticks and start to build a bed on it too. Brakes are on it, I just need to put lines to everything after I exchange a caliper up front that was wrong when I bought it (fawkin Vatozone) Steering should be a quick and easy too. Didnt do alot last night but it felt good to get it rolling :smokin: Its a pretty sexy DD if ya ask me.

OOPS, I just took tommorow and Friday off. Damn I have it rough :flipoff2:

Ill have to bring it in to work Monday and snap pics of it as a driver...

picks at work???

come on at least a poser pic

jack it up and let blacksheep put a tire under it :D

sheep down, sheep down, give me a torch and a welder, stat.
She will get back on the road, just not this week. I drove it home in front wheel drive. I need to redo my rad/fans set up and fix my rear link locator system since the carnage.
Pdaddy, I guess if you drove it over here we could pick it up with the tractor and set it on one of the tires laying around this place :D

Hey Pdaddy call me so I can come out and take pic.

Is it done wheres the update did you fall off the earth or move and forget us already. Been stuck here fixing mine and rebuilding breets motor.

Talked to Blacksheep last night, he was over at Miles Per Hours shop with Pdaddy working on this thing. He said it looks badass, with the bed skinned out and the rearend dovetailed. 'dasheep said it was about 3' between the tail lights now. Can't wait to see pics! Apparently since Pdaddy is moving from KS to 'Bama in the next week and quit his job he had to give back the digi'.

Yeah, and my digital is still at best buy getting repaired from a Waynoka injury. He skinned and shortened the bedsides and hung them on some pipe he got cheap (read: free from me). It was rusted oil field sucker rod, but it holds bedsides on like a champ. It looks badass, need Mindenoffroad to get his ass out there and snap some phukin pics

Yea the sucker rod worked too, stayed on the whole 13 hours it took to get to Alabama...Im officially moved and no longer a resident of Kansas....holy chit.

Good news is my bro in law has a digi so I should be able to post some junk real quick. Im busy as hell at the moment getting settled in...oh yea, and going to the beach next week to suck on girly drinks and sit in the sand :flipoff2:

Im thinking real hard about spending some money on it to get some more stuff Id like... need to get a JOB and go from there LOL

Congrats on the move to the Gulf Coast! Glad to hear you made it without issues. Get a job and get wit'it!

Sweet man. My whole family is goin down to Jacksonville, and then to Gulf Shores on the 24th thru the 6th. What part of AL are you goin to for the beach?

welcome to this side of the country. Maybe some time we could have a get together and do some wheelin when my junk is ready.....now lets see some pics!!!

Brian

Where'd you move to in AL? I live in Mobile...

IIRC... he went to Birmingham...

Yea Im just outside of B'ham, went to Gardendale this morning to see if any rigs were going out to Greyrock or what not, saw a few yotas about to head out. Just chilling at the moment. My bro in law gets back tonight so hopefully tommorow Ill have some pics to show of my turd.

How were those crazy out of balance hummer tires on the ride down, could you feel your nuts when you got there :laughing: :laughing:
Mindenoffroad's white hybrid is about to get a lot crazier. I made the steering arms for the knuckles on his hp 60 this afternoon. His 2 ended ram is mounted and protected and the "spring" :laughing: mounts are all done. It is ready to go in except for me welding the spiders. Then I will weld the rear that I am lending him and he will be ready. Disney, here we come.
I have to help him because Woodywag and I almost ruined his trailer down at Cass when we were loading the sheep. I hate borrowing trailers.......

Paul, call me or mail me the name, number and location of the guy with the 46" michelins. The parade is in 11 days. I need 20"ers to go on my bling for the sheep :D :cool2:

yeah bling for rims, and mud flaps rivoted to the cab to cover over the rear window :shaking:

HAHAHAHA, Wyatt talkin the trash...check your email Kelly Im way ahead of ya :flipoff2:

Yeah, the mudflaps are to keep shit off the passengers' heads. they are a neccessity after rollovers/no glass. I guess mine does look ghetto next to yours. Your trail rig is perfect. It is hard for there to be something wrong with it when it is a figment of your imagination :laughing: :laughing:
Web wheeler :rolleyes: :shaking: :rolleyes: :shaking: :flipoff2:

Just breakin your balls WoodyWag. I am sure you will have a rig someday.

Pdaddy's rig. Looks PIMP bro! I dig it with a shovel!

Ya gotta dig it with a shovel...youll need a shovel full of dry sweep for the fawkin PSC rock ring that I cant get to seal up :laughing: Its still far from finished, in fact my bro in law and I just hit a trail down the street from his house and I busted a front shock hoop off ....2wd wheeling sucks!!

Ill have to get my welder outta storage, drive it by the back porch plug in to my mother inlaws dryer outlet and burn her house down tryin to weld the POS back together!!!! I think Im going to fit right in around Alabama to be honest at this point! :flipoff2: I just ordered a set of tube flanges so I can add a removable cross over tube above the engine to the tops of the shock hoops..at least BTF is in the same state so Ill have them tommorow.

Did your house come with a fairlane up on blocks? Haha, good to see you made it to your new home and that the truggy is in rolling condition. Maybe someday I can get mine built and we can hit Tellico or somewhere farther south.

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=138270&stc=1


Pdaddy, that's exactly what I'm doing with my dovetail....taking the skins and hanging them on a tube framed bed.... P.I.M.P. bro! Gonna mount my fuel cell, radiator, and batteries there also.... Nice, bro, looks good! :smokin:

Edit: HAHAHA....and I also like that puddle 'o oil under the rear diff! HAHAHA :flipoff2: j/k

Hijack. Mindenoffroad is almost ready to put his 60 in. Eat your hearts out. Another cool thing: We will have a rock crawling exhibition at the mud run this year. Plenty of rocks to play with and a track hoe to set them.
Here is ben's new setup with the $30 cylinder installed ($10 for me)

You guys suck donkey balls, sure wait until Im gone before you start doing some cool shit at the mud run :flipoff2: I need to get you to ship me one of those cylinders mang!!! Im looking at buyin a 60 here pretty soon, Ive got a couple leads on them already down here.

On the bedsides of mine. I just through them on there in a hurry to get them here without packing them. Im going to tube the rear out alot once I get settled in to my new place and find a good source for tube (and job lol) It will be alot better once the permanent tube work is done. Im hacking the lower end of the rear under the taillights off too.... I cant stand seeing that shit hanging down in those pics

Yeah no shit! I've got to work this weekend otherwise I'd be on Southwest on Friday and drinking Busch Light in Paola on Saturday. Kelly get some footage and some pics. Don't do Michelle Ray!

Paul, I like the look. Agree with you on the shizz about the bed lowers behind the wheelwell. And I look at the puddle under the diff, as your truck just marking where its been. Such as that was in Kansas. It musta known that it was leaving and it wanted to leave something to be remembered by.
60, you must be crazy for not having one yet, everybodies doing it! lol
Ben finally sucked it up and is getting it on. Kellly said Ben would be 60'd and Airshocked by Disney. :smokin:

Whens Disney? I may hit Tellico later this year. A few guys I met around here are talking about a trip. If I can get my junk setup Im going. Always wanted to check out that joint!

that's an awesome set-up, especially for just three months worth of work!!!

if you get a chance, definitely go to tellico. i guarantee you'll have a blast.

I believe they said the end of August.

Hey lefthand, were at in Fultondale are you? Isnt that were Off Road Connection is? I was out there last night at some bar, met with some of those CAOS guys. What kinda rig do you have and when we wheeling?!

[post hijack] Is the rock crawling free for anyone that comes out or is there gonna be a fee, might have to call off work for it! [end hijack]

Looking good paul don't forget the pics when you get a job and get more done.

Hey lefthand, were at in Fultondale are you? Isnt that were Off Road Connection is? I was out there last night at some bar, met with some of those CAOS guys. What kinda rig do you have and when we wheeling?!

yup, off road connection is right over there on the decatur highway. my guess is y'all went to homefield. kinda redneck (well there all kinda redneck up here) sports bar/ grill next to off road connection, right. i've let my membership lapse with CAOS, in between selling / buying new rigs and a heavy work load, i haven't had any time. anyways, i'm just across the interstate about 3 miles or so from where you were last night.

as for my rigs, this was mine.... :(

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=138469&stc=1

1 ton, 36's / 39's, blah, blah, blah.

now i roll this POS......... :D

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=138474&stc=1

1/16 ton, 28's, blah, blah, blah. i've just started my parts collection, so i won't be hitting the trails any-time soon. just picked up some waggy 44's. trying to figure out suspension now. thinking leaves up front, MAYBE coils out back, but it'll probably be leaves. too soon to tell right now. my main goal is to get it stretched out about a foot or so in the middle (like okiezuk and zukzilla here did) and go from there.

i'd be glad to come by fetch tools and drink your beer anytime. :flipoff2: just shoot me a PM.

A good source for tubing in B'ham is O'Neal, Too. It's the customer walkin site for O'Neal Steel. Also, one of the CAOS members works at one of the steel suppliers. Look on their web page at corporate members.

WoodyWag made a reference to the cold beer of Champions...Busch Light. Pdaddy, if that is your brand of choice then you will fit right in with our crowd. Notice my sig and Swervin's URL.

Right on, yea Id like to catch up with you guys for sure. You seem to be a little more up my alley as for riding style and overall lack of good judgment :D

Been meaning to chime in on ya'lls site, just hadnt got to it. That and I need to get my turd actually wheelable before I shoot off at the mouth to much :flipoff2:

When you get ready, let me know. I have been wanting to make a trip to the Gardendale trails. I haven't been there since January. Every time we have been down it was for Gray Rock. There are some excellent trails, creek crossings and rock climbs.

On the rocks at the mud run, I want about 5 or 6 capable rigs to play on them and give a good show. I now have 2. They will be pretty knarly and big. They are also at the end of the pit, 200' away. If they can't shut it down, that's what they hit. :laughing:
I am jealous of Paul, he already has cool places to wheel and people to do it with. There is NO ONE around here, and almost no place to go.
Get that 60 in and give me a call this Christmas break and I will haul down to your neck of the woods. We can hit tellico or gray rock

Hay sheep let me know on the disney trip Millerxc and Well hung wan't to go

We are playing it by ear right now. Sometime mid to late August on the Disney trip. Can't wait.

I would like to see us go the last weeking of 8-27-29-2004. I hope to have my truck in a new state of mind a hole lot havier. Kelly thanks for putting that picture up of my 60. I just got the high steer arms done so I will need
to came out and get those link from you somtime before this weekend.

There is inphobic, mxpaz, me (once mine's goin), Mr. Bastard (once he's done with his), and lots of guys that inphobic and mxpaz wheel with... Too bad you are in Paola. We're all in KC/parkville...

Hey Pdaddy

Really nice looking truck you got there. You say you need to get your junk wheelable :laughing: Look at my shit! I think I got a little ways to go :shaking: There are a bunch of good people to meet here in Bama,especially anybody from CAOS! Very good group and put on some kick a$$ rides. I live up here in Albertville AL about 45 mins-hr to where you are. A lot younger than all yall fellers but who gives a shit. Maybe we can see your rig sometime at Gray Rock. Hopefully here before long my junk will be going,86 Dodge W150,1 ton,4 speed,44" Gumbos,my buddy has a 84 GMC with a big ass flatbed and 40" Boggers both are Redneck Built :flipoff2:

You dont even wheel American who you tryin to kid! Mr Bastard hasnt had a rig together for at least 2 years that I know of.... Thats the problem you all talk like your going wheeling but you arent wheeling. I guarentee alot more wheeling goes on in P-town then in your neck of the woods dude :flipoff2:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Blacksheep10 wheels every single weekend. As well as a bunch of other guys in Paola. I really don't consider myself wheelin when I'm with them, I'm usually holding down a passenger seat and insuring that there will be a shortage of silver cans.

You P-town boys keep in touch. I am game to ride bitch and keep the cooler full anytime. I'll ride with Mile's once he gets some belts and 2x4 under the footprint gas pedal. :laughing:

:idea: I have ONE 5 point harness I will donate to him as well to keep him planted to the vynil seat.

Fuckin psycho's. I never said shit bad about Paola... what gives?

No hatin here, just sayin that I like to wheel often, and everyone knows it. I seldom have time or money to haul somewhere, so I like to go locally. There is plenty of room for lots to go. I just need some company.

If I ever get enough time or help to get mine back together I still got your # I'll bring my junk out to paola. Sounds like there is some fun shit out there.

Vote #2 for the last weekend in August, the weekend before Labor day for the Disney trip.
I'm actually off that weekend. Can pull Jeff up there, he said no more long distance with the 6.5 pulling, topped out at 60 sucks. Labor day weekend would be a pretty tight trip from my end with the work schedule and the 10 hour haul.

Lets get this crayola'd in on the calendar!

hehe...ID go with ya. Couldnt follow you everywhere but id come for shits and grins. Ive been out to Paola a few times. Hangin out with Pdaddy and the locals. Saw midens white s10 which is pretty bitchin.

Anyway...now that i finally have seen your junk Paul ( hehe :flipoff2: ) i really like that. Shame you had to go south on us. :shaking:

Dude you dont even wanna wheel with the sheep, it would be a you parked your rig, and watched his all day scenario. You aint ready for Paola yet mang :flipoff2:

HUSH YOU!! haha. geez you give me no credit. hell id be happy just watching it wheel. Fawker! :flipoff2:

UPDATE

Ive got the hydro eared bellhousing, I should have my shop wired and ready to build in this weekend...AAAAAND, I scored chromoly shafts for the 44 today :flipoff2: OH HELL YEA :grinpimp:


Also got a lead on a JOB at a off road shop.... fingers crossed..still :laughing:

Move to Bama, now you are loaded with $$. Congrats on the shafts. Get the bobby long joints and have fun.

Also hope you get that job. Word for today is JOB....J O B Come Monday and you don't have a job, you don't have to worry about bein no dog catha....you havta worry about the dog....catchin yo ass!


Sorry :flipoff2:

...J O B Come Monday and you don't have a job, you don't have to worry about bein no dog catha....you havta worry about the dog....catchin yo ass! ...
WTF did you just say?!?!? :flipoff2:

WTF did you just say?!?!? :flipoff2:

(John Witherspoon Friday voice) I, I, I, grab a dog, and I Choke a dog, and I beat the shit out of it. Walkin around all day with my foot up a dog's ass, BANG BANG BANG BANG! (John Witherspoon Friday voice)
J O B is right. Then you can buy the ctm's that you need, then you can get hardcore on the wheelin. Then you can prove to me that your 44 is way cooler than my 60 ('s) :D :flipoff2:

My 44 is way cooler than a 60, didnt you get the memo. All the hardcore guys are building 44s know because the aftermarket makes all this bling bling poo poo that makes them completely invencable... I mean , my 5million gigapower SBC with NOS (nothing outside of special) will produce 5 hourses less than it requires to bust this bling shaftage...think of it like a skinny pedal fuse. Im going to install everything with slick fitty anyway so that will help alot, I mean shit after one slick-a-roo with that crap I wont have any friction!

You know I dont wheel anyway sheep...

Not sure, but can all of that bling 44 stand up to that Clear Front Driveline your running right now?

Score one for wyatt

Fuck me I just got me 14 bolt done Pdaddy Call some time

EXACTLY, that shit is so trick you cant break the frontend! :laughing:

Hey dammit I have damn near everything to make it 4x, should have the shop wired for welding and what not this week, I need to do some JY diving for Dshafts then Im all over it captain no rig. :flipoff2:

You have no idea how true that last statement is now. On the way to Tiffs parents last night, the duramax let loose :eek: . Ah yeah I'm now on foot. Dropped a cylinder. Haven't check it out today (left it in the 'burbs), but I suspect a ring, due to my oil pressure dropping in half. I'm praying that its one of the direct injectors and that cylinder just isn't getting fuel, but highly doubtful.
Going to have the dealer tow in tomorrow, and fix it. So early reports are its fucked!

OH SHIT!! That sucks fat root mang $$$$ I assume your warranty is expired too huh fawk that blows

plus there is another reason that woodywag doesn't have a rig right now. It has to do with a large cash expenditure on something that could be seen as an investment or as taking a dive. Either way, it was a large chunk of change, and now he has to start the rig savings account over again :laughing:
that sux about the duramax. :( At least it didn't happen to us in the hills of Arkansas in the middle of the night drunk as a couple of commanches :laughing:

What type of expenditure? Anything interesting?!

this thread has surely gone to shit.....typical of most my threads huh LOL

Yea my rig is coming around though sure Im about to...... polish my chromo shafts before installation....yea and um sure...

your ok in the hills of arkansas untill you here the banjo music!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

She said "Yes" if it's any consolation.

Yes, if you'll see my sig line, the part about where I post, you'll know why its gone to shit.

Also just got off the phone with the Bill Heard Chevrolet Service.
They said they'll send a wrecker for the DMax and let me know this afternoon
The service guy was an idiot. He didn't care what I thought it was doing, he wanted to know about the shaking, and rattleing, and were they were coming from. I told him it was only running on 7 cylinders, and he repeated the shaking rattling "?". I was like, "Hey, it is missing, so it makes it shakes real bad that satisfied him." Fawking moron. Definately hope their techs are smarter than this asshat. I'm still praying that its only an injector. I pulled the filler plug and started it and didn't get any real pressure to point towards blowby so I don't think its a ring issue. If they have to tear into the engine that thing is For Sale as soon as I get it back. Never had one come back right from a dealer once that shit happens. Case in point my '93 6.5, that thing hasn't been right since it blew its 1st turbo up at 12,000miles.

[hijack]

..... Fawking moron. Definately hope their techs are smarter than this asshat.....


yeah right!!! i mistakenly took my old '90 k5 to a local STEALership back at the first of the year.

the cliff notes version is, i took in my rig to be fixed when it started running like $hit right before a big run in TN. i had out of town business obligations and wouldn't be able to get it fixed in time. thinking the GM dealership would be the best and quickest option, although more expensive, i took it in. told them what it was doing (starving for fuel) and recent maintenance routines that had been performed (wires, plugs, rotor, vacuum lines, etc.) but, like you said, they just wanted to know how it acted while driving. went to pick it up first time, wasn't fixed. (which, BTW, made me miss my run in TN.) seeing as the had already hit me for a huge chunk of money and it wasn't right, i turned around and told them it SPECIFICALLY what item i would like checked (in-tank fuel-filter).

a week later, "It's Ready". go to pick it up and followed up to make sure the filter had been checked. they replied "YES", but to double-check i look at the work order. it confirmed what they said. start to drive it off, same problem. at that time, tell me they've done all the can. motor must need a re-build. :rolleyes: get it home, drop the tank and pull the filter. it was black as night, full of crud and collapsed upon itself. get a new one, problem fixed. jackasses!! :shaking:

i'm still trying to get a resolution going through GM, with no luck. they've got until the 1st of september to refund my money or it's going to court. i should have just dropped a lawsuit on them in the first place, considering they FRAUDULENTLY billed for work that wasn't performed. but, i was trying to be civil about the thing, believing that people are too "sue-crazy" these days. all i wanted was my $693.71 back.

anyways, i hope you have better luck than i did!!!

[hijack] all i wanted was my $693.71 back.

anyways, i hope you have better luck than i did!!!

No way, that sucks, fawking lazy bastards! You need to submit them to the BBB of your state. Also you should submit there name to the local TV stations and really drum it up if they continue to fight you on the money. Did you document your fix?

I'm hopeing for better service, but honestly doubt it will happen.

Oh yeah mines under warrenty, but like that matters when if comes to getting it fixed. It just means I won't be paying for it. That also worries me, they'll prolly come up with some reason that my lift and 35's made the engine work harder somehow and fawked the engine. I just have no patients for stupid people, and damnit if there aren't alot of them around.

at first, i didn't. went to regional service manager to address the issue. comes back with, "you didn't tell me the truck had been modified". of course, as i informed him, the modifications performed on my vehicle had no bearing on his service department's inability to effectively diagnosis a fuel delivery problem.

after that, no more civil contact from GM. so, my experiences were turned into BBB. contacted the local news outlets, but couldn't gather any interest. apparently, there's no consumer watch-dog type reporting around here. too bad, because i took lots of documentation before and after my repairs.

So, back on topic, how is the tranny transfer swap in going Paul? I know you are waiting for a welder hook up, but I didn't know if you had yanked the old shit out yet. By the way, fuck your chromo shafts. If you have more than $500 in your front and rear ends, you are wasting money. :laughing: Mine still haven't broken :flipoff2:
Just kidding. Get that shit ironed out and figure out how to take some photos so you can post pics of your "progress" if there is any.

You do any wheelin lately?

I second American's question, any wheelin down there in hucklebuck backwardsville lately
Btw, just kidding you southerners :flipoff2:

You do any wheelin lately?
A large faction of us (Paolan's) went to Disney over the last weekend Aug 27-29. Hardly anyone around the park so we wheeled with Hogan and his buddy Bill. The Blacksheep held up well (crushed one front driveline, sliced one tire), Ben's S-ton didn't fair so well. Powersteering pump issues on the full hydro knocked him out until Sat. afternoon. It was a stretch to get it together, I think I drove to town 4 times, and to Vinita once for parts totally sucked. Have to give props to Chad at Green Country Offroad in Vinita, for the free chevy pumps and brackets. Then Ben exploded a yoke on his front driveshaft on a waterfall. Not sure if the fix held up as I bailed out about 10pm on Sat to head back to Houston. There were 3 Sami's with us, those things go anywhere. 31's and lockers and they rock. Talk about cheap wheelin'!
I think there was some ground work laid for a wheelin party at Kurt Ohlmeyers in Paola on Oct 22nd (two months)

any picks??

did the sheep over heet?

I worked for a day and a half getting it to stay cool. The hottest it ever got was 195 and I was railing on it like no tomorrow. I am satisfied for now, but still plan on making more changes to help it out more.
The trip was great, except for the white s-10's carnage. That sux for him.

Im still here :flipoff2:

The truck got sliders, and I started the tube work on the bed, the hoop behind the cab connects to the sliders then there is two down tubes going to the rear of the frame (chebby frames are weak and bend in the middle behind the cab, my thought was this would help....blacksheep has demonstrated this weakness with me in his truck previously :grinpimp: ) I still need to add some tube to the hoop to crossbrace it and I want to do a little something something to the down tubes to brace them as well...probably buck that out this weekend.

Tranny Tcase swap. Well I have the tranny and tcase in my garage finally, and my daughter and I started to clean them up a bit last night. I REALLY need a rear driveshaft and front shaft out of a mid 70's chevy 4x with a fixed yoke 205...so any help there is appreciated ( khorfab@yahoo.com if ya got any or know were I can find them cheap, ive salvage yard shopped my ass off around here with no luck!! ) My 5 speed is making some pretty nasty noises, 190k I figure its about done. The fact I put 50-60 miles a day on the rig doesnt help it any either... I am really itchin to get the tranny and tcase in it, it will be a real fun rig Im sure.

sounds good bro... can't wait to see the pics though!

we got our model 105 last week and I have it mounted with the cylinder on it. I am just waiting for ben to bring the pump and motor over so dad can make the hoses I need for the hydro. That's right Paul, I have a hydro bender. lets see who can bust out some tube work in a nasty hurry now :p
Get your ass on that tranny tcase issue. You need to wheel again.
Ben and I are shipping our 203 range box output shafts to Wagoner for resplining, we are both doing doublers. With the cut 44's on, I just need more reduction in so many areas. I wish I could swing the 3.1:1 so I could have 1:1, 2:1, 3.1:1, and 6.2:1. All in due time I guess.
for now, 4:1 will do. I am getting a high pinion 60 from a kid down here at school if I buy him a 6" lift and put it on, it is an old chevy, so no problem there. After wadding up my front shaft, I am not putting up with that thing being exposed any longer. I am getting the high pinion and the doulber at the same time so I can clock my t-case flat, and get the belly of my truck flat to a skidder will just be a flat plate.
maybe I should start a thread about the progression of the sheep :laughing:
























Na, I'll just keep hijacking Paul's :flipoff2:

Sound's like your building a "ROCK CRAULER" :laughing:

Let me guess, ben is going to build the doubler adapters or have someone build them huh... Shit if he does tell him to make an extra, I have a 203 low range sitting on stand by already. Whats Waggoner chargin to do your shafts?
I intend to have a set of shafts by next week, Im all over ebay, here in the wanted sextion and all that something will turn up dammit.

Thats pimp shit on the bender.... I finally made some little spacers and shit to make mine more user friendly, I even polished and mounted the degree ring LOL

Im going wheelin Sunday...so suck it. Aint my truck but its wheelin LOL :flipoff2:

nope, ben isn't doing the adapters, dad is on his lathe. All free :D
I already have the shit to do it with, just need the ford 205 and my shaft resplined. that can wait, tonight, Luau at Pitt. more pussy than you can shake your throbbing stick at. :evil:

Man o man... let me throw some stuff in this thread for an update.. LOL

Truck is soon to get coilovers and linked up front, I just painted it Olive Drab... Ill get pics soon of that... Just a few quickies to show its alive, has been alive, has been beaten on and been enjoyed ALOT

I can't believe I missed this thread! Can't wait to see what you have in store this time...
You ever put your junk together? Im taking mine out tommorow so Ill post some new painted pics Monday or Tuesday :smokin: Im real happy with how the OD green turned out once I got all the panels back on it.

Well here are the results from my last outing. Pics included

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=424174


Im now parting my D44 and selling all the D44 stuff I have collected (New Full Detroit, Lockright, CTM's blah blah) to fund its replacement... which will be a D60. Once I get the D60 I plan to link it up front with the 12" Fox Coilovers I bought used a few months ago. I want to push the axle fwd 3 inches Im thinking right now... That will put my Wheelbase at 125.. pretty long But it hasnt slowed me down any @122 so Im in. maybe one day ill be able to afford larger tires that would rock !!!
I will also full hydro it with a Double ended ram I have in my possesion thanks to Blacksheep10...who will probably be the same person I get the 60 From. After the holidays I should know were Im at finacially on this and hope to get the 60 rounded up and start building up front. I may front half the frame, Im not certain yet though...need to get under it and decide still.

I thought I'd just bring this to the top so you had something to...

POST YOUR REAR CHOP stuff under. BTT :flipoff2:

Give me some motivation to get mine going man!

Well I did commit finally to doing the boatsides. I started to cut the cab up... and of course it started raining then the power went out. :laughing:

Last weekend playing with the wife
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/turd706ditch2.jpg

After that ride I decided I needed a pimped out speed shifter for the SM465, I put a CD player in it and a couple of truck boxes behind the seat also..
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/shifter1.jpg

Then I started in on the cab... :evil:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/rocker.jpg

Im waiting on a coil spring kit from BTF to use when I shorten it. So I can do it in a day and be done with it and not have the truck non-movable. They were telling me it would ship this week, but it appears that isnt likely to happen unless they get it out today... its now 4pm though :(

I should have some progress this weekend on the boatside and Im going to do a similar cage to what reddman did (its a sweet design and Im doorless like you.) tied into the boatside as well. I got a few buddies coming to distract me .... I mean help so maybe we will get something accomplished Saturday.

Do you have any pics of that front suspension?

Here is one from today... I had just gotten done welding the last tube of the day in for the framework on my boatsides when a buddy showed up and forced me to go out in the woods by my place... :laughing: I need to lay the plate into the boatside and they will be done. Took forever to cut and clear all the crap off the cab I didnt want... still have some things to cut off too

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/turdriverfrtflex.jpg

Heres a better pic of the start of my boatsides.... still need to trim the back of the cab up and plate them in.... This truck is surely stolen , its a stripped 05ish 2wd c1500 thats been burned up and flipped over.
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/hardlinecustom/turdontruck.jpg

found this guy and he enjoyed the "handrail"

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e14/007deepsouth/turd-h.jpg

Im going to add a "hipbar" coming off the B hoop and down to the top tube of the boatside. That is why I cut all the bottom of the cabside off. I like to think Ill put some cool plate in there, but to get it lazercut the way id like to have it will probably be outta my price range... maybe Ill leave it open until I can afford it and add that in later.

DANG pdaddy, youre making me want to cut up my cab more and boatside it. Send me a drawing or some dimensions and i'll cut it our for you next weekend. Materials + :beer:

Frank

I already want to boatside mine... and it's a NICE fawkin truck! haha

Sweet build man.

Some of the guys on my forum are workin up some logo/ pics to get lazer cut. I put the hip bar and support under it last night... I just got home from Oneal and now have enough tube to finish and complete the cage as well. Im going to build off my boatside and do basically like reddman did with his semi outside/in cab cage. I hope to have the bending and cage done this weekend if I dont end up doing an intake on my wifes S blazer :(


Heres some of my skillful :laughing: photochop skills... the ??? is were Im going to stick plate. Its a 16.5 inch tall and 6.5 wide area to work with..
