Snow White- 85xtracab Build

[decyfer]

bed liner is alot easier to clean than carpet. seals really good against water and all the offroad dirt u'll pick up. alot better than regular paint does

bed liner is impossible to clean. my whole stupid runner is covered in it. worst idea ever. just get the ruber mats.

why, now i can just hose the dirt, mud and those huge rocks out of my cab

[CTENG in KS]

I have it all over the outside...I find that one of those big brshes they use at the quarter car washes cleans the liner real well.

[decyfer]

mines all over the outside. i just use a power washer and it doesn't get it clean.

[Matty]

TUBE DOORS came....painted them black but no new pics yet...

[Matty]

rockin the marlin sticker.....hardcore...

[unclejpl4x4]

Tube doors look sweet     how long  did it take U   to get them set up   

[Matty]

thanks...well painting was easy, and actually setting them up took a grand total of 5 min they are light enough so you can keep them steady and just bolt on yourself....i put a mirror on one so its legal...but insanely easy everything...

[Matty]

weldin some cool stuff up...

[Makman]

Dude, there are easier ways to get a tan.  A welding hood will keep all that UV from whitening your teeth and burning your face.    

Tube doors look awesome!  Show us a picture of how you mounted a mirror on those pimpin' units.

[Matty]

come on...im just trying to get a little tan while im weldin...ill get the pics of the mirror as soon as i can

[Matty]

pictures of the mirror mounts, and the new reverse/rock lights

[decyfer]

those mirror mounts are hot. i likey

[Hyena]

Who cleans there carpet?  I have vacumed mine out once and i have had it for 2 and a half years.  Sat in the rain a couple times and doesn't evenb smell.    Nice extra cab BTW.

[RHG]

85, Bro, you need to get yourself a project thread started and get all this outa newbie, I can't be bothered to keep looking in here!

[Matty]

thats a 350 from my buddys camaro...its a race motor ...barely holds an idle....so no swap for that

but i might go 5mge, 7mge, or 3rz this winter im not entirely sure...after all the 3RZ swaps on here i think i might go that route...

the mirrors are the cheapest ones that they sell at my local autoparts store....



ohh and CTENG about the project thread i gotta move all this damn crap around for that?? cause thats the only reason i havent pure laziness

ohh and i just thought i would let everyone know being a poor kid i dont have much money and i just fell into a good bit.....lets just say here comes my 5.29s detroits and 36in Iroks!!!

[Matty]

i have a question for all of you....i am going to be running the 5.29s with a detroit in the rear, and i think i am going to leave the front diff open for the time being.  I will be running 36in. Iroks, and i was just basically wondering with an open diff will i still get breakage in the front?? i figured i would hold off on puttin the detroit in the front to save some cash for now, and hold off on breakin lots of .  i was just wondering how that will be..

oh and being the noob that i am....i havent had any breakage on my little 33s....so i have no experience with the front yet, which should change cause im tearin down my axle cause its pretty old and slightly leaky right now..

[Rocksurfer]

Don't think you'll have any problems breaking as long as you are open, everyone I know that run big tires and have airlockers never break em.

[decyfer]

when you tear that front down you might as well through some longs in there and call it good. or just run a birf elimanator kit like i have.

[gonzo]

   good pics

[Matty]

got a build up thread CT, no more Newb section for me....

[RHG]

hey decyfer....notice "poor kid" us youngins dont have the cash funds to just throw in some longs! Ive been saving money for months trying to get enough for SAS. Atleast 85 did the smart thing and bought one with a SA already there.

thats pretty much the exact reason i bought a SA one, i sold my other SA 4Runner though so now i have a bit more cash to play with.

well, obviously. by the way. i'm 22. i don't  think that makes me old. i know what its like to have no extra money. why do you think i bought a 85
