Love the truck man it looks sweet, keep the pictures a coming

Ramrod · August 28, 2006, 10:10:45 AM

thanks dude $Beer Chug\'n$

heres the headlights, there really bright and its cool because you can still tell they are crosses in the dark with them on and they are really shiny when on also but I want to upgrade the bulbs to some better white ones and yes I really need to paint this thing

Yota4life · August 28, 2006, 07:09:03 PM

Looks sick so what color are you going to paint it? Im painted mine before mcr5, it will be the flat desert tan color, i will post a picture of it when its done.

Ramrod · August 28, 2006, 07:28:56 PM

I dont know I already have a bunch of black and white spray paint so probably a combo of that for now but I would like a real paint job some day. today I put my rock sliders back on and got my drivers side front axle all hooked up with the beefy studs and new hub.

Ramrod · August 28, 2006, 07:30:03 PM

oh yeah and I got a $15,000 loan for a towrig $Beer Chug\'n$

and also I still have 40ft of tube left over what should I do with it?

Hyena · August 28, 2006, 08:20:21 PM

Sick, now go find one. You need one by next week! And if you have any money left over you can buy me another hub and a chevy spring for yourself.

Ramrod · August 29, 2006, 03:34:12 PM

ill bring your hub to the roundup and look for a chevy spring

motorider228 · August 29, 2006, 03:39:32 PM

I don't know how much tube it will take but how opposed are you to making a flat bed? I think that would look awesome.

Wermz84 · August 29, 2006, 03:41:41 PM

I dig the headlights!!

Ramrod · August 29, 2006, 03:46:51 PM

I want a flatbed bad right now but am gonna wait till its off the road on a pay for some other things

locktup · August 29, 2006, 10:13:31 PM

Kinda looks like chopperman's toy in the front. I like it $Beer Chug\'n$

Ramrod · August 30, 2006, 05:51:55 AM

thanks

RHG · August 30, 2006, 06:18:33 AM

Damnit! Checking out your buildup at work right now but it sucks cause our computers have filters and wont allow pics from photobucket and those types to come through. I want to see pictures. Sounds like its coming along real nice. I got some lil things to take care of but will deff be at the roundup. What day are you going in?

yotamckimboy4x4 · August 30, 2006, 10:53:58 AM

WOW!! i love your truck pat. im just starting to get my solid axel swap started but im having trouble on wat springs to buy...

RHG · August 31, 2006, 05:44:10 AM

Dont buy them...build them! Go junk yarding.

Ramrod · August 31, 2006, 05:54:18 AM

6 or seven leaves of stock rears up front we'll do you well

whiteman · August 31, 2006, 09:34:46 AM

I hide for a few months and come back and now look at this thing. It is looking sweet, makes me want to hake mine up and wrap it in tube. Keep up the good work.

yotamckimboy4x4 · August 31, 2006, 10:49:07 AM

hey pat i have a few questions for you about my truck just pm me or somethin or if you have aim i would like to ask u a few questions if you dont mind.

Ramrod · September 13, 2006, 08:09:10 PM

so im back from mcr5 now and the truck did awsome with the new parts ive installed. With the new front shackles the front suspension flexes great but I think maybe too much because tie rod and draglink hit the frame on compression and the springs on droop even though they have always cleared fine but im just gonna leave that because its hardly an issue. I drove up there and wheeled hard thursday through sunday and drove home without breaking a single thing and without any major body damage. It did suck though having my t-case hanging down with nothing below it and it definitly doesnt slide as good as my marlin skid did so a little lifting and protecting of that is in the works for sure. Also last wednesday I got a pretty serious 4 part fix it ticket that im not going to correct which means I have 3 weeks to have my truck green stickered. Bye bye street driving Here are a couple shots for you guys not there

WOW! i really like what i see. What combination of springs in the front? All stock or a combination? And what kind of shackels? - nick
