[wakkjobb]

Next weekend yota_wut? (aka Matt) is coming to my little shop to install a windshield and some other things; maybe take off that 3 foot body lift too    If anyone is interested in coming by to help or hang out or whatever, post up here and I'll get directions for ya. I'm in Black Forest north of Colorado Springs; right by the Black Forest Road and Burgess Road intersection... and the liquor store and bar.

Valet parking available...

Sounds like fun but I don't think I'll be able to make it.  I'm working on building a stand for a new JD2 bender and a rear bumper for the 4Runner, starting that weekend.  Good luck with the windshield & body lift removal.

ya i got my cage to install too i think im gonna start by taking a leaf out of all the leaf packs the bumpers, rock rails, and TC shifters all have to be adjusted if i take off the 2" NOT 3"!!!!!! BL ..... like its any better...

i also need to trim my fenders out a bit too lol

im gonna bring some meat to grill and some beer im thinking

[wakkjobb [OP]]

Schweet; I'll get some fresh propane this week. I may have a rig by then too...    working a trade for my Celica for a built 84. Anyone know of a Brandon Carr with this truck? It's OD green, regular cab, flat bed, hi-steer, 4.11s/Detroits, boggers (35s?) and Corbeau seats with harnesses. Has a Warn XD9000i with a stinger on front too. I'm excited... now my girl wants her own rig too!

PBR.... I knew moving to Colorado was a good idea we used to drink that on the farm

[Jakesteads]

glass is in!!!! just gotta do sunroof me and dan wheeled last night in the snow and got pretty stuck..... but we learned alot about our trucks!

[wakkjobb [OP]]

I'm gonna cover up your truck and scoot it aside a little more; I think snow/rain is coming in a few days. Also moved your side glass/some parts into the Husky box to keep them safe and unbroken. When are you planning on coming out again? Friday is party night; I'll be 32. And trashed.

I'm doing some exhaust on my truck then checking the steering... it's a little "off". It looks like just the oil pan is leaking on it too; left a decent sized stain on the floor overnight. It's just marking its new territory...

sweet thanks ya i stopped by at about 6 am this morning and was half asleep.... that was the reason i left the keys in it...

I chained mine since I'm running dual cases.  Helps out a bunch!

[wakkjobb [OP]]

I was thinking about chaining when I watched your engine bounce a good deal... maybe lowering the engine/trans will help it from falling over again?

I may have found the cause of my death wobble... the torque bar was chopped off. Also the tires have about 900 ounces for balancing... I'm going to check into BBs or whatever the cool kids use for balancing huge-ass tires.

[Jakesteads]

ya mine have the bb's too and seam find... i guess im gonna replace the MM and chain it thats a pretty good idea... I think alot might have to do with the 22re MM's and a v6 motor on them since they are just adapter plates....

its looking like ill be down on the weekend i just talked to the wife if thats cool

[wakkjobb [OP]]

Sure man, you know where I'll be... 


Unless Eric and I take your rig out, then we'll be stuck. 

>>Dan

[Jakesteads]

i know i should have never left my keys there

[wakkjobb [OP]]

Nah, don't worry about it; I'll check that red top today and see how it's doing. It started right up yesterday though so it may be 100% again.
