83 ex longbed on fullwidths

[snowshoebrue]

got myself a new tranny, w56d according to the website.  I also ordered bommerang shackles, johnny joint shackles, custom dash from seabass44(12 volt guy) for dual winch dual battery, my new 64" housing shipped on last wed.  once my dodge sell i will be getting 30splines, hub gears, arp studs, possibly an f-toy chassis, new tie rod and drag link and i promised amanda i would buy a new tv probably get like a 42-50" depending on the deals.  i have someone coming to look at it tomorrow so hopefully.  i will probably have to borrow my friend little nissan maxima pos till i can get a new truck though.  i found a good deal on one but its in king city so i couldn't go get it till this weekend

[Duffil]

uh oh.  Yer gonna go and get all on us! I won't be able to wheel with ya anymore...

[snowshoebrue]

i'll be too broke to pay for propane, so my junk will just sit in the garage.

[Jud]

And he wont have a truck to tow it with! 

[*FFC*]

Wth are you selling your dodge for? What are you gonna tow with then??

[snowshoebrue]

i am buying a new one. i found one in davis for 24k and one in king city for 26.  i really want the one in king city, but dont want to drive that far. i had someone look at mine today.  he is gonna let me know either tonight or in the morning whether he wants it or not.

How much are you asking for it?

[snowshoebrue]

14k, my dad says i underpriced it so    maybe it will sell faster that way.  i have only had it for sale for 5 days and had like 20 people contact me about it.

on a side not when i got home today i had some new bling     

[Blingn]

Dude you are going crazy on this build   I almost cant handle all the   Are you going to be ready for MCR?

[Blingn]

Wth are you selling your dodge for? What are you gonna tow with then??

Ill tow you to MCR if my junk aint done!    and what is your ratio going to be with the new trans are you switching the ratio in the axles? I am not up on my yota lingo but is that tranny geared alot lower than the stocker??

[papa mike]

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

dude wheres your jack stand???

[snowshoebrue]

my jackstand is about 4' behind me.  i know i should have put one under it i was just being in a hurry.  i usually try to be good about safety, but sometimes i get in a hurry.

matt the trans is pretty much the same gear.  its like 3.95 first, my other was 3.93.  it is stronger though and that why i went with it.  i just happens to be 6" longer so i have to fab new t-case mounts.  i also just bought a plasma cutter.  scratch and dent $299  will cut 12mm

well looks like my truck is sold.  he is working on the loan right now.  he was pre-approved so now he has to do all the paperwork.  so now i need to find me a truck. 

[Duffil]

that housing is dope.  I haven't seen my machinist yet, so no idea on that.

[86bobbedtoy]

Wow you got some cash man, great build, great work !

[snowshoebrue]

Wow you got some cash man, great build, great work !

mainly i just wait for good deals or save up a while and buy a whole bunch of stuff at once, but i did just get a $4.50 hr raise so that helps. once we buy our new house i will have to limit alot of my frivalous spending and stick to a budget.  thats why i am buying it all now cause i might not be able to with a $2000-2500 morgage

[AZman]

That housing is BA.

[snowshoebrue]

thanks it came from crossed up offroad in arizona

[snowshoebrue]

got my boomerang shackles and my panel from 12volt guy

[Jud]

Are you ever gonna stop gettin bad ash parts?

[snowshoebrue]

nope cause i am still waiting on my johnny joints, 30 splines, arp studs, cryo hub gears and new tie rod/drag link.  also thinking about getting some corbeu or prp suspension seats.  i want new more comfortable ones.

we are buying a house soon so i am buying everything i can before i have a huge mortgage payment

[rednk1980]

Lookin sick! Those seats are trick i wish i would have gotten them instead of my APC's

[snowshoebrue]

so i just put a email in to mike at hendrix motorsports about a f-toy chassis.  if it's in my price range this winter i will be turning my truck into a f-toy. 

[rednk1980]

might want to get a few blankets and jackets becuse winter wheelin in a buggy is cold.

[snowshoebrue]

i got the quote back and it 1633 for the chassis, grill hoop, dash bar, motor mounts, body mounting kit, and tax.  it is the dom chassis also.

what do you think should i do it?

Keep your truck!!!

[Duffil]

Keep your truck!!!

X2 bro, you can't compete for points, and you might as well keep what you've got, with all the work you have in it.  It ain't gonna look much sicker with a tube chassis! Just exo that biotch and be done!!

[snowshoebrue]

it sucks i am back an forth, but i think that i will just spend that money on other cool parts and hold off a while.  my body is not in bad shape so its hard to say i want to ditch it.  plus it is alot of work.
  maybe if i was smart i would save that money, nah what fun would that be

[*FFC*]

If you turned it into an F-toy, it's gonna be "just another F-toy"... but if you keep it your truck, it's gonna be that SICK AZZ TOY!

[Steve97TJ]

Ive got a set of PRP daily drivers in my jeep. Man they are awesome. And i got a pretty good deal i guess on mine with brackets to fit my jeep.

[BLACKDOG]

Justin, your truck is one of the most well thought out, put together trucks I've seen.  Its be a crying shame to see that go to an F-toy.
