Operation "Simple Slut" (thank you Uncle Sam)

[crawlnj.]

Thanks alot man I will be purchasing them this week.unfortantelly its not a Toyota its a ranger...but I wish I had a toyota lol. Always trying to find little ideas for the ranger

[nickx]

for your ranger find your self a dana 44 and swap it out with that garbage suspension fit has(if you haven't already). My buddy did it and it came out pretty sweet. He did a 44 up front with a nine inch rear. I think those 44's off the later fords just sort of swaps right over.

Anybody going to be up at the Rubicon not this weekend, but next?

[nickx]

Well update time. This thing needs some lovin' and i have barely had time to do anything with it. Since my last up date i finished bobing the bed (came out pretty shitty but what do you expect with a pre-dented bed) and some other minor things. I still have a laundry list of shit to do. On my way up to the mountain over thanksgiving weekend the power-steering idler pulley bearing seized right as alternator decided to take a hot steamy shit on me. Made for a cold hour long wait until my buddy Sam came with his truck and trailer to tow me home (thanks Sam your a true friend). I bought a new alternator from napa and ordered a new pulley bearing from Dave's (thanks Dave's you guys rock!). I also need to get some new exhaust studs. Im still getting an exhaust leak when the motor is cold after changing the manifold gasket. I cant afford headers so i might as well just try some newer longer studs. I want to go back and redo some pretty important stuff to. My front shackle angle looks like shit so im going to order some new frame jigs and move the tubes a little more forward. It probably didnt help that i welded the front spring hanger on about a 1/2" forward instead of flush vertically against the frame. Other than that it could use a front end rebuild on the axle. Its leaking grease like a sive. After i fix the shackle angle im going to try and get my self a solid alignment. Then ill be rocking and rolling and ready to do some snow wheelin'.

[nickx]

Oh and i snagged a nice little bed box. Fits alot more than i thought it would

[kdub0013]

Lookin good. Oh and kill!

[toyotathrasher]

Lookin good.

[nickx]

I got a whole bunch of shit for it but i locked the keys in the cab still in the ignition and the damn slim jim i ordered hasn't come in the mail yet haha. Me and a few buds might be rolling out to Mix Canyon in Vacaville if they are doing the Sunday shred session in a couple weeks.

[rick james]

Talked to mixcanyonbob, and he said he will be open, as long as the weather hold. You think you'll be ready to roll by the 18th?

flush mounted front spring hanger i think i set shackle angle at 12 degrees on new leafs, then as they broke in they settled at 18 which is perfect.

Shit, that looks like that mount town outside what I think was called FOB x or X ray, fucking one morning we got up and humped down and back there twice before someone learned to use a radio and had to go back again. I was packing the "combat ladder" what a piece of fuck couldn't even hold 200lbs. We broke 2 of them then before we said the hell with it and never got another out. I loved the rock formations and the UXO out there haha being a Illinois boy you don't get to see that much rock. I kept thinking damn I'd take my jeep up that shit! I had a fun time there, trigger time, did you do the 400 series ranges while you were there?

Ive been out to the 400 series ranges to do some machine gun shit. It was hot as shit haha. That place is actually not to bad. Between june and october its hell but any other time i dont mind it. That mout town is behind the giant hills on the main side of the base sort of paralleling the PX. ITS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!
