[kiyul4130]

nice pics and thanks for the tcase plate shot. i bet you could have went all over the place a lot better if your tires were down more. that sucks the gauge was wrong.

[Makohon]

hey... is that pilsberry?? by the way ur $hit looks sick!! i wish i kept my bed!!

[Loki]

Truck is coming along good. what are the plans for the rear springs. i noticed you had some sort of block setup back there

[Ramrod]

im not sure what im gonna do with the rear springs, these ones are no go for this application and i can feel them getting a ton of wrap on the street. I want some marlins springs but that will have to wait because it looks like im gonna have to buy the psc steering setup since mine took a last night

[Loki]

I've got a set of chevy springs at the house, they are 1/2 ton springs without the overload. I used the 3/4 ton with overloads on my truck. they are pretty flexy

[gonepostal]

looks kick-ass, keep it coming.

[Shamb]

dig'n it w/ a shovel. keep up the progress Pat.

Build a torque arm. If you need a hand come over with Brad.

I like.

[Ramrod]

finally got to flex it out a little

I could have gone alot higher obviosly but thats all the ramp had but it did fully compress the front springs and shocks and the tire wasnt hitting the firewall so that made me happy.  Then my buddy had to try and show me up in his cherry 4runner but the cement block got the best of him

[ticketguy]

i wanna see a picture of the side of that runner after floppin over

[Ramrod]

not bad at all, no broken glass and the only dents at all are in the doors and fender.  Getting it restarted was more reason why I will never own a 3.oohh.  it took like 2 hours to do the plugs and all the engine oil shot out of them when we cranked it over

[Hyena]

haha, good thing you called me!  thats one of the reasons why i won't ever own a 3.slow!

[Ramrod]

those motors are so faggy I dont even want to talk about it

[Loki]

Daves offroad...that's where my buddy got some of his work done...looking good. Where were you guys at?

Either way...did you figure out what springs you were going to run. looks like that setup wasn't too bad, i just don't think blocks are safe

[locktup]

Pat what front springs are you running?

[iNfErNaL]

Pat what front springs are you running?

Ha Ha,I was about to ask the same question....So Pat,what front springs are you running?.

[Hyena]

i think it was his old front pack with a leaf taken out or something.  toy rears.  and blocks are safe if you check them.  they only suck if they are too big or loose.

[rockwalker]

raptor is dead

[YODAWILL]

raptor is dead

??

[Hyena]

did the motor finally blow? 

[Ramrod]

no someone else was driving it and rolled it all the way over, that really sucks billy and im totally sorry dude I'll help you get the new one going but till then I think you should cut the top off and run it how it is at the hammers and just beat the out of it.  On another better note I was snooping around at my grandparents ranch and found a york 210r compressor in the trunk of a mercedes so whenever I get it all cleaned up im gonna finally have some oba

[Ramrod]

oh yeah im running my springs from my old truck with the very bottom leaf removed. and in the rear its got Old man emu springs  with 2 overloads removed and 2.5" blocks and 7" shackles.  I have some chevys from a 2006 truck that i'll probably put in by hammer time though unless I come up with some money or a deal on something better

[Hyena]

damn, who was driving it?  how bad is the damage?  that was such a freakin clean runner too.

[iNfErNaL]

oh yeah im running my springs from my old truck with the very bottom leaf removed.

So what springs are they,rears?.

[Ramrod]

yeah 6 leaf rears,  a friend named carl was driving it and from what I hear is that its pretty much fucked all around.  I guess he is going to be buying him a new body but it doesnt really make up for all the custom work into the body of that one.

[kiyul4130]

damn that sucks to hear about that runner getting trashed. im glad i got to see it again before it got screwed up however bad it did. oh an thanks for the help on directions. i dont know how i missed the turn to 80 but whatever. that drive ended up being like 5hrs instead of the usual 3 from SF. ive been driving for the last 2 days and no i finally just got home for good.

[Yota4life]

That floppin sucks about the raptor. It was really clean.

Hey pat, the runner with the 37" Iroks on it, are those 15/8 wheels? or 15/10's? I just ordered some 37s so im trying to figure how they will look.

[ToYocRawleR]

Order the bias ply 14" wide ones.  They work alot better.
