olivedrab's 87 runner

[olivedrab85]

Yea it was nice meeting you. Wish I could have seen your buggy in action on the con, but oh well def. next year then. Maybe we can meet up for a run in WA this winter, I'm only like an hour from the border.

[Yota4life]

I think the fender looks good like that. What tires do you want to run?

[olivedrab85]

i think 39.5 iroks or maybe some krawlers

[Yota4life]

Check out those pit bull rockers bigmike is running. They seem like a really good tire. I might run them on my next set

[olivedrab85]

How big can you get them?

[Yota4life]

I just found this http://www.ih8mud.com/reviews/fj40-pitbull-rockers.php

edit: also here they come in 39.5's http://www.pitbulltires.com/rocker.php

[olivedrab85]

Hell yea thanks, those are also an option. I'll probably run these boggers till next summer then upgrade.

yeah I want to do some good winter wheeling this year. I know  couple guys around my area that would be down for some good ol snow wheeling

[olivedrab85]

Yea let me know I'm always down.

[olivedrab85]

Got a little more done on the runner for Fordyce, finished the firewall tubbing, foamed in the rear tubs, put on the diff breathers, and gave it a once over. Still cleans up pretty good. Didn't have time to get a cage done so hopefully I won't need one.

[olivedrab85]

Some more of my hood rich  rear fender tubbing. BTW is this ghetto or crafty?

[gotrocks]

hey well it work for the limited amount of time you have.  I'm doing a rear fender chop on my runner right now to but I'm repacing the cut out metal with new metal.  I'll let you know how it turns out.

[RHG]

Updates? Pictures from Fordyce? Carnage? What was that you used to fill the fender tub?

[olivedrab85]

Yea i've been slackin on my thread. Runner is getting some hydro assist and a new front locker soon(I hate the the lock right) I've just been beating it down on the Oregon trails lately with really no brakage, the body has some miles on it now though. Fordyce was awesome had some good times for sure. here are some pics from our trip.

[olivedrab85]

What was that you used to fill the fender tub?

The front tub is welded in steel plate. The rear has spray foam insuation for now, It seems to be holding up good though.

[olivedrab85]

So the runner is currently out of commision. Went out the other night and got hung up in some nasty ruts, bashed my front bumper to , broke something in my front diff (pretty sure it was the lockright), on the way home the check engine light came on shortly after it died and won't start. I finally got it home at like 1 this morn haven't had time to diag the problem yet. 

[toynorcal]

Sux man, so you thinking Aussie for the front or something with more beef?

[Hyena]

dang Jerry, that sucks big time.  take it apart and take pictures of the carnage!!!

[gotrocks]

wow man you better get that thing together for the winter wheeling though coming up.  Word on the street is a snow run at Mt. St. Helens the begining of Feb.

I think  I know that dude in the background, blue first gen with the spare on top. did you talk to them?

[olivedrab85]

Yea, I got it running again and the check engine light off. I'm gonna take the front diff apart on sat and check out tha carnage, I think it has been going for a while!

Sux man, so you thinking Aussie for the front or something with more beef?

I think i'm gonna weld it for now until I go selectable.

I'll be ready for sure should be on 39.5's by then.

[gotrocks]

nice.  IROKS??

[olivedrab85]

nice.  IROKS??

yea, I want krawlers but i think the iroks would be more practical for my application.

I never got to talk to them, I think someone from our group knew them tho.

[Hottrod81]

Looks like it's time for some fender bars.

those guys were idiots.  they were broken down right before winch hill 1 so we went by them.  then we get up to winch hill 1 and play around a little.  my truck blows a fuse but it took a little find what happened.  those guys start coming up behind us yelling and cussing, telling us to get out of the way.  we have no were to go but they keep yelling at us.  one of the guys gets into a blue extra cab that was with us and just drives it about 20 feet, not even his.  those guys were complete idiots.  they also had plenty of beers in there hands.

it wasnt Case was it ? the Webilt guy that picked up your axles for me? I wouldnt think so acting like that. just looked familiar cuz he runs his spare up top like that and he just recently re-bodied his truck with a blue 81.
