Well I got the paint job done, FINALLY it is one color. We went up and ran the Con all the way, Loon to Tahoe. Had a good trip, but did not take to many picture's. Here are a few I might be able to post more later but not sure. Enjoy.

I like the yellow!

rednk1980 · July 05, 2007, 03:30:28 PM

First off the rig is looking sick im digging the yellow! But i was wondering how well you like the x-terrians? Im thinking about running them as a comp. tire instead of the BFG Krawlers. Do they hook up well, how do they perform? Thanks.

Thank's man. I like the X-terrain's as an all around tire. It is nice to drive to the trail since it is a radial, I can do 70+ to and from. I would like to put some 39.5 Irok's on it but I am not sure how it would handle to and from the trail. Let's put it this way, if I was not worried about road maner's and power on the road, I would not have them. They do hook up well but not near as well as my old Bogger's. I have seen Irok's hook up better, and in my opinion they flat ass suck in the snow. Also, I hope you have a sponsorship otherwise you better get a 3rd, 4th, and 5th job because these thing's are stupid expensive.

rednk1980 · July 07, 2007, 12:00:38 AM

sponsorship wise i have a couple small buisness lined out in town that are will to get the advirtisement for a couple hundred dollar donations. but im only looking for 35" tires and I think they are only 210 a tire so the price isn't really that bad. Ill only be running them strictly as a comp tire so road miles aren't and issue. Thanks for the input

I need all i can get right now.

Yota87Truck · January 09, 2008, 05:37:30 PM

I don't think you could have gone with a better color. it looks great and ur truck also looks really clean, and it has some awsome flex

Jud · January 09, 2008, 06:02:28 PM

Your truck is sweet! I like the rack in the bed with the tire under it!

hiluxor · January 09, 2008, 06:27:01 PM

very nice gen 1

4runnin_87 · January 09, 2008, 10:06:34 PM

love the rig!! I seen in the build you are running chevy rears with the overload cut. what springs do you have under the front?

rockcrawlinredneck · January 20, 2008, 04:13:53 PM

Here is an updated pic of the rig. I got new tires and changed to a hybrid front spring pack. The front spring's were 44044's and now they are a MC 4" and stock Toy rear hybrid's. The new tires are 38.5's.

topar · January 20, 2008, 06:32:27 PM

Yep just a rattle can. Thank yall for your coment's. I have had fun building this rig, taking my time and keeping everything clean and straight. I got a chance to do a little testing with the new sring's and tire's. I need to trim the FRONT of the front fender's. Anyhow here is a pic from the testing, enjoy.

4runnin_87 · February 12, 2008, 08:48:26 PM

Dig the yellow!! Nice rig!

Rocksnail · February 17, 2008, 08:48:12 PM

this truck is sik. lookin good man. 1st gens rock!

rockcrawlinredneck · November 01, 2008, 06:19:53 PM

Well it has been awhile since I posted any updates so...

I grooved up my TSL's and they work killer, I love them even more now.

I FINALLY painted the full doors, the truck is all one color now.

I also added some 4.70 gears to the rear case and hydro assist steering. Man what a difference. I dont know what took me so long to do these 2 mods. I have had the dual cases for about ten years now, and wanted the gears for about 5 years. I dont know why I never did it sooner but hey, I got 'um now.

Kevin

rockcrawlinredneck · November 01, 2008, 06:23:59 PM

Oh yea, here is a vid from our most recent trip. Tires, hydro and 4.7's working there magic. The vid is long, but I am at the begining. There is 2 other club members in the vid as well if you feel like watching the whole thing.
