I'm ready to go for another year/season. New tires, new engine, major drivetrain relocation/clocking work.
It doesn't sound like much for all the work I've done but I'm glad to get to this point.
I get to wheel this weekend.
Finally convinced my old man to let me move my truck to the back of his shop (indoor, heated, Tons O space for a work area, tools and every piece of sheet metal equipment known to exist LOL)
plus I finally went full size (14 ff rear, and 3/4 ton dana 44 front)
right after I got new bushings, locker, brakes,33's tsl's for the 44 LOL Oh and a powder coating booth right next door.
I'd be happy just to get mine on the road let alone wheeling. I am hoping to fix the engine grelins this wekend after I get off work. I sure hate working 7 days a week. But you got to do what you got to do to pay the bills. I need a new set of EVERYTHING!!!
Have fun this weekend. Maybe I will see you on the freeway as you return home from having fun.
damn rick, could youhave posted ANY smaller of a picture?? :flipoff2:
sweet, this Saturdays out for me. Besides the fact my rig is on blocks for new front u-joints (and my spare shaft the Duthies has....) I got a weekend class thats going to blow most of Saturday, then family things Sunday .
I've been so dang busy, it took me till yesterday to get a new ujoint into my broken front axle. I still have to tear the passenger side apart, and get the grenaded axle out, and since the yokes blew, it probably will involve a lot of grinding, or....
I was supposed to go over to Duthie's and grab a spare stub, but I haven't even been able to scare up half an hour to do that
:shaking head:
Maybe this weekend I will tear the thing apart... maybe.... <sigh>
I like the look Rick. Can't wait to see it on the trail....
The actual picture is HUGE. What you see barely fit into the 90,000 bytes max.
I'm sure it's just my lack of editing skills but by the time I change the resolution and crop the picture this is what's left.
I reworked the picture with the help of Ben W. I deleted the first one but couldn't add in a different pic in the first post (OK so I just pushed the wrong damn button:emb4: ) so here it is.

Damn Rick! Thing is still ugly as hell. Probably still wheels like hell though. We'll be up to play soon. Give us a month or so. After the May Calrocs crawl.
Posting this picture for TT. He let his star go away. Just finished it at my house. Used to be a 76 Traveler. Now it's trail ready. Tillamook next weekend
