well some updates on the truck been wheelin a couple times i only have one pic that was worth anything.

then i put a new door on the pass side becuase i bent the window frame and shattered the window

and my new bling steering wheel because my old one was cracked all the way through.

baconator · « **Reply #426 on:** Aug 23, 2007, 01:22:30 AM »

nice

steering wheel. did you get your horn to work with it? i have a grant wheel kinda like that but my horn doesnt work

im stuck with the one-finger wave until i get it worked out

rednk1980 · « **Reply #427 on:** Aug 23, 2007, 09:04:17 AM »

ya mine works fine. You have to grind off the paint for the metal spring clip thingy to make contact thats what most people dont do.

baconator · « **Reply #428 on:** Aug 23, 2007, 03:07:15 PM »

oh i got ya. sounds simple enuf. the PO installed the wheel

lol

fatt_matt · « **Reply #429 on:** Aug 25, 2007, 10:57:22 AM »

this is an awesome project man..

rednk1980 · « **Reply #430 on:** Sep 04, 2007, 09:56:48 PM »

hey matt thanks for the compliments. it feels good when someone says good things about all your hard work.

So i've been thinking and have now updated my project list after running this rig a few times i've realized i need to do some more work. So here the list is:

Rear shock hoop
14" travel shocks
Get rid of current bed
Build new tube bed
Link rear end
Propane kit
Bobby longs

Thats pretty much it for now I figure if i have this done in the next year ill be happy i start school again in october so once that starts the building is pretty much going to halt to a complete stop i only have two years of school left then ill be able to do what i want. Ill keep updating as i go. And for everyone who reads this have a

on me! Until the next time good wheelin. and be safe.

Awsome. big list, cant wait to see what you come up with.

and take lots of

glad the rig is worining out.

baconator · « **Reply #432 on:** Sep 05, 2007, 06:53:41 AM »

looks like you have your work cut out for you. are you going 14" coilovers for the rear?

rednk1980 · « **Reply #433 on:** Sep 05, 2007, 03:26:27 PM »

Im gonna do the 16" race runner air shocks no need for coil overs in the rear.

Yoat Goat · « **Reply #434 on:** Sep 05, 2007, 03:47:15 PM »

Cool truck man!

Shamb · « **Reply #435 on:** Sep 05, 2007, 06:55:05 PM »

dunno what your experiance is with airshocks but i'd imagine your rig has around the same weight in the rear as mine.

I'd go w/ the 2.5's or you'll be pulling your hair out trying to adjust them correctly. I know I did!

rednk1980 · « **Reply #436 on:** Sep 05, 2007, 10:28:20 PM »

Shamb are you running coilovers in the rear? or are you running air shocks? What is your spring rate on the coilovers. I figure if im going to do this i want to only have to do it once.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #437 on:** Sep 07, 2007, 10:02:07 PM »

Well boys i've got a new project coming. Its a 1980 Pick up, short box and in great shape no dents or rust. It is a repo car so im getting it for next to nothing. Ill start a build thread when i get it. This one is gonna be extreme. List:

linked rear
marlin 5in front lift
bed cage with internal cab cage
doved and bobbed
dual cases
5:29's
bobby longs
lockers f/r
sliders

im selling project "blue" to my dad so i can start this one. Blue started as his rig so he wants it back

CrawlerBrennan · « **Reply #438 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 01:02:58 AM »

look forward to what you post

baconator · « **Reply #439 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 03:21:41 AM »

new truck to watch. sounds like its going to be similar to project "blue" except the linked rear.

rednk1980 · « **Reply #440 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 01:29:51 PM »

it will be close to the same with the exception this truck has a normal bed and will keep the normal bed, it will be doved front and rear and flatbellied but pretty much the same oh and im thinking about some 39.5 iroks or some 38 tsls

Yoat Goat · « **Reply #441 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 05:22:38 PM »

I am liking what I am hearing. Except for the dovetailed front end... Not my deal.

yotadork83 · « **Reply #442 on:** Sep 08, 2007, 06:59:46 PM »

x2 on the front dovetail not so sexy. my preference is no fenders with exo like shambs rig

rednk1980 · « **Reply #443 on:** Sep 09, 2007, 03:39:33 AM »

we'll just have to see what i do. Im gonna pick up the truck next week

i dont know all i care is i got it

NorCalToy · « **Reply #447 on:** Sep 14, 2007, 10:24:29 PM »

sickness. if truck turns out as badass as project blue it will be tits

rednk1980 · « **Reply #448 on:** Sep 15, 2007, 06:47:42 PM »

thanks dude i hope it does.

i've pretty much got the list of what im puttin on the new truck for now and i got the paper work for the "Bannana" i payed with tax and everything 584$ for a 1981 Toyota short bed pickup. I thought it was a pretty smokin deal.

List of stuff:
Goin with the marlin 5" 79-85 lift kit (for now)
Full width axles- ford 9in rear/Dana 44 front
Dove the Bed and bobbed it
Unsure what im gonna do with the front yet
Internal cage
Tube bumper and bed cage
winch
A set of 39.5 iroks on 17's
Staun Internal Bead locks
and some cromo axles and joints for the 44
Full Hydro Steering
That is pretty much it for now this build is gonna take a while because i start college in the fall and all work on the rigs will cease until that is done or at least to a minimal because school comes first. Its only two years of my life to set me up for the rest of my life so i figured i could take some time to do it.
