That super tough looking guy by the truck is my bro.  Looks like a real dirt bag dosnt he......

Anyways, truck has 529s, lockright in the rear, 3 inchs wider, and of course a Hurst shifter.  Thats like an extra 13 horse power atleast.

That thing is clean, any plans with it?

[prang11]

Plans errr.

I want to do the full deal with it.  63s in rear, rears up front, get all the fancy suspension parts (flip kits, shocks, etc), cross over steering, duals, flat bed with exo, 35-36' baja claws (not sure why I just love the patern of these tires) and all the other misc, crap that will need to be done.

The problem, I need a shop / garage, access to a welder / bender and the ability to talk my uncle into not hating me once I take the sawzall to this thing.  He put alot of time into restoring the body of this truck and he just cant stand it when I talk about rubbing it against rocks.  Only time will tell. 

I may just take this thing back to stock width, with open diffs and buy a later model beater with efi then sas it (probabably not though ).  To many damn options and not enough money / time.

We will all hate you if you take a sawzall to that truck. That is one clean rig.

Its just so tempting.....

It is way to clean to sawzall it,but it would be one good looking toy on the trails if you do take a sawzall to it

Lotek makes them.  It is a nice installation if you ask me.  Just a little tight behind with the wires.  There Web site is www.gaugepods.com.

The kit comes with plugs to put over the screws for install but I like the look of exposed stainless screws.

Couple pics of my last adventure.  Spent most the day hitting the trails at Browns Camp and ended the day with some dune running at Sand Lake.  First is at the top of one of the many peaks at BC and the second is a sweet pic of me and my bro with his Samauri..

Im currently in training to start my new career.  So hopefully within the next few months I can drop some cash into my beast and start ramming trees.  This will only happen if I start paying more attention to the training provided...   $$$$$ here I come!!
