life and death of a clean $200 toy...................

[synwars]

Sleepers! I love it. I love the expression on everyones faces when you out-crawl someone with your "stock" looking vehicle.

[Ramrod]

here is my inspiration for the front besides the ls1 because my 22re pulls hillclimbs like crazy enough

[synwars]

That doesn't "look" stock to me...

[Ramrod]

i'm just talkin about the body and tubework behind the fenders.  I'm still gonna run the same axles and front suspension

[Ramrod]

just aired up my tires and took the truck for a drive around town and she works as good as ever, It has officially survived the hammers

[6.72:1]

I am liking these plans.

[Ramrod]

I am liking these plans.

me too and by the way this thing was running and acting up today I want it done sooner than later.  Now I just need money

[Ramrod]

some cool pics of the truck workin it at JV

[6.72:1]

YES!

[Matty]

love the look of the truck, cant wait to see it after all that work.     good luck

[Ramrod]

Amazing what some soap, water, and 5 minutes will do.  She looks good as new now

[Shamb]

nice carnage bro, looks like you guys had a blast. Where's those vid's at?

[Ramrod]

the videos in my vcr.  I don't know how to get it to the computer from my computer.  It has the cord and everything but nothing happens when I hook it up

[Shamb]

You need the software that'll recognize it (drivers)

You hooking up your camcorder to the computer or vcr?

[Ramrod]

You need the software that'll recognize it (drivers)

You hooking up your camcorder to the computer or vcr?

I hooked it up to both.  It works on the vcr which is simple but when I hook it up to my computer through the little rectangle port thing that cameras and whatnot use nothing even happens.  I installed the programs that came with the computer.  I think i need a memory card or something

[Ramrod]

I guess Bobby long has solved my hub blowing problem with these bad boys.  4340 cromoly hub gears they break at 7500 ft lbls and wont destroy the birf when they do

[Hyena]

Sweet, are these on the top of your list?

[synwars]

WOW, those are blingin'!

[Ramrod]

close to the top but not quite.   I'm gonna try and get the 4.7 gears while there on sale and with those suckers being $70 a piece there back there a ways

[Shamb]

Did I hear 4.7's on sale?!



the chromo hub gears where 70 a piece?

[Ramrod]

yep $70 a piece but they are probably worth it so  I don't end up destroying a birf when I blow up a hub some time and i'll have better piece of mind when I go 4 deez and yes 4.7 gears are on sale folks this is what youve been waiting for

nice build and all that stuff. anyway, i'm thinking about the same EOR cage cos i live on the east coast and i was wondering how hard it is to get 360* welds. It looks pretty close.

[Hyena]

there is no way to get 360* welds on all the joints in a truck.  You can get them on most of the joints if you cut it inhalf after you weld it and then take it out.  then weld up the joints, put it back in and sleeve the part you cut.

[Ramrod]

if you leave your headliner I think its impossible to get 360 welds and thats my case.  That thing is litterally squeezed in there so tight to my head liner that you cant move it any direction even if its unbolted

[Ramrod]

savage pic taken by Rob Muchado (Muchado on here)

[Ramrod]

so i'm gonna rattle can this sucker pretty soon because its looking like crap and all the scratches are starting to rust.  What color should i go with?

[6.72:1]

Anything primer will do the trick! I prefer the flat tan, flat black, or the flat white!

Of course, I have most of my priming ideas from you west coast folk anyway, so...!

[Ramrod]

i'm shying away from flat white because the trucks already white and flat black cuz i've alread had flat black toy along with everyone else out there

[6.72:1]

I believe I will be going for the flat tan myself because I saw it on here and I want to be like you west coast dudes.













I am tired of the hicks where I am at.
