hello everyone,

my name is kevin im the proud owner of a 86 toy.... no major mods.... aftermarket 31's bout it... i have big plans but not a lot of no-how or equip....


i live in scranton,ar      most of my wheelin atm is just fireroads, playin in the bottoms that sort of thing...

[blackdiamond]

playin in the bottoms

Is a Bald Wookie still a Wookie?

You might want to define "bottoms" 

   

[Rocksurfer]

   so what does a bald wookie look like?





and quit playing with bottoms it's not nice.

[baldwookie]

yeah im tryin to decide on a sas or the chaosfab ... both seem pricey for a poor fella like me... but .....    both my front axle shafts are broke atm... pulling friends out of mud holes.....   cant decide if i would rather fix em.... an then do the sas... seems like a waste of funds... hence my dilemna.....


i love the all-pro tube bed... but lately ive had 2nd thoughts might just bob the bed......   my know-how keeps me from doing much.. an fear of messing it up... an lack of equip

[79coyotefrg]

i can probably get you some stock shafts cheap,  to get you by ,  and i'll keep a eye open for a solid front axle for ya

[baldwookie]

bottoms not the female variety my g/f might keel me if i played with someone else's...


bottoms= river bottoms off the arkansas river

yeah i want to run 35's eventually....  i like the way the all-pro truck looks like..... im going on looks not functionality atm.. so 35's might not be what i need/end up with.... my wheelin exp is mostly just dirt roads ....loggin roads etc... havent tried much more

[baldwookie]

oh cool.....   that would be nice....      got some leads from friends at work.. might be on the right trail for front axle....

[blackdiamond]

Sounds like you should just get a set of nice off road tires (31-33 inch range) and save your money.  You should learn to wheel with your IFS and only upgrade when it starts to limit your adventures.  SAS isn't a mod for looks.

Cutting the bed looks great, if you mess it up then do the tube bed trick.

[baldwookie]

yeah.. kind of figured that.. why i havent shelled out any cash for anything besides 31's  a/t's

[blackdiamond]

You could also purchase a lunchbox type locker (LockRight, Detroit EZ, Aussie) for about $250 and install it (rear differential) yourself or have a friend help out.  It would greatly increase your trucks offroad ability for minimal cost.  I recommend an Aussie locker, but they are all very similar.

[baldwookie]

ahhh sounds good... ill look into that....  gotta get the 4wd working first

[baldwookie]

oh btw baldwookie its a online gaming tag.. that stuck....     tis kinda funny if about it

[Wermz84]

  To the board.  Lot's of good info here!     Like the Name!

  so what does a bald wookie look like?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought that a bald wookie looked like "Sandy Duncan".   

[79coyotefrg]

so   what do you need, just  the diff to spindle shafts ??

dont go blind looking at all the

[baldwookie]

yeah,   u can poke your finger thru the holes in the boots and feel broken chunks.

[79coyotefrg]

yeah, u can poke your finger thru the holes in the boots and feel broken chunks.

i'm really hoping your talking about your front shafts

i'll check for ya

[79coyotefrg]

i made the deal for that truck  now all i need is a trailer to take the van up there to trade for it and get the truck back to my house,  then  the tear down begins 


whats a good price for front shafts ??

[baldwookie]

man im not sure... ive never replaced half-shafts before.... autozone quoted me like 100 each with core charge

[79coyotefrg]

man im not sure... ive never replaced half-shafts before.... autozone quoted me like 100 each with core charge

these look good,  i'll look tomorrow at the mileage on the truck, hows $75  for the pair

[baldwookie]

hell yeah.....  updated quote from autozone was 86 each, with 45 core... but doubt mine are gonna be worth of core charge

75 sounds very reasonable
