i like being organized.  it makes it easier to work on things when you can find your tools and parts.  i have wall to wall to ceiling shelving on the left side of my garage.

[kneedownnate]

Sweet!!!  When are you gonna get it all installed?

[snowshoebrue]

i'll have it on by the end of the week.  i still need to buy a tank though

[snowshoebrue]

got some new tires and rims.  new to me at least they have about 75% tread left on them

[toyotaexo]

whats up with propane setup?

[snowshoebrue]

its all in i just need to get a tank.  i have been gone on vacation.  i hope to get one this weekend and get it all timed for the propane.   

[Duffil]

Sick tires yo!  Something wrong with your old ones, or you just wanna go bigger?

[snowshoebrue]

not so much bigger just more tread.  the xterrains were starting to get pretty low.  i just got a deal on these tires with the beadlocks.  4 beadlocks and five tires so i will now have a full size spare.  you want my 35" spare bfg.  i need the rim but you can have the tire

[Duffil]

if it's a 15" wheel, ya i'll take it!  Kinda scary not havin one.

[BLACKDOG]

you still gonna go with the copper beadlocks? 

Looks funny with the green ones

[snowshoebrue]

ya they will be copper i just bought them last night.  i just put them on to see what they would look like

rex ya its for a 15" rim

[fatt_matt]

wanna see these beadlocks when you put them on...



sick build!!!!!!!

[yotadork83]

looks like its time for some tubbing and trimming.

[snowshoebrue]

so last night i got talked into going wheeling today, then i got cancelled on this morning.  so since i was already loaded up i decided that i would go out to frank raines.  went out there and they were closed.  so i drove up 5/580 and went to carnigie.  nothing special but it will do.  propane worked good  my timing is still a little off but i got it close.  definately going to have to do some tubbing on the front.  and the all pro front springs are just about dead, the truck has a major ganster lean to the passenger side

[Jud]

Thats a bummer that Frank Raines was closed!

[rocktoy83]

The toy is looking sweet 

[Blingn]

ur rig is siack j man!  I was at frank raines last night and people were camping there and FFC said that the gates were open.  I had some work to do out at FFC's mom cabin and there were some Jeepers out at the park in the parking lot looked like they were getting ready to head in   I am trying to put together with FFC a run on her moms  property up there we just discovered a rock trail thru their property

[BLACKDOG]

truck is looking good bro    I can't wait to see it again.

When'd you do the new front bumper?  It looks good   any plans to put bars wrapping around the front?  or are you gonna leave it like it is? 

[*FFC*]

Lookin good Justin!


I saw the gates open and people camping at Frank Raines... it's a bummer that we didn't get in touch, you could have come out to the cabin (a whole mile farther)

[snowshoebrue]

ya when i got there the gates were closed.  you can still get into the camping area if the gates are closed.  they locks the road going into the trail.  maybe they were just closed for the weekend.  and running up at your moms place would be could

jason-i built the bumper on fri/sat.  i still have to weld on the mount for the fairlead and i am still in the air whether i will mount side bars.

sweet dude!  It looks good.  I really like how it seems to wrap around the winch.  Even without sidebars it looks awesome

[snowshoebrue]

we went up to niagra rim last weekend.  had a good time, but i think my transmission is toast.  or something is it was making bad noises by the time we got to the rock pile and then proceded to oil my trailer up pretty good.  so now i think i am gonna try and find a w56, go through the cases and flat belly it when i change it.  also i will have a new wider bling housing in about 3 weeks.  the just finished the center section

[Jud]

Nice wheelin with you man!

[snowshoebrue]

i also tubbed my firewall moved my axle another 1" forward.  i patched my firewall back different than most do but it works and i didn't rub at all

had to tear my frontend apart because i broke the truion bearing trying to take my steering arm off to replace a broken stud, which was a pain in the ass to get out

[snowshoebrue]

Nice wheelin with you man!

ya it was fun we will have to do it again sometime.  hopefully with a new trans 

[Jud]

ya it was fun we will have to do it again sometime.  hopefully with a new trans 

Ya you new trans and me Lower Gears!!! haha

[rednk1980]

The rig is looking sick man! I just had my stock 1st gen tranny take a crap on me too. I went and got a G52 hopefully it will work. Do the flatbelly it would be awsome, maybe it will give me the motivation to do mine.

[Blingn]

[snowshoebrue]
