96 cruise vessel build

[Ramrod]

yeah dude you better order that shiz.  my friend charlie with the 2nd gen runner just ordered duals for it.

[ToYocRawleR]

oh ok, I think that was charlie's brother tom

Yea, tom, thats it.  Does he still have my old truck? (black 92)

[TacoStewie]

my blingn new rims and tires three spokes are what its all about

i dont feel bad now that i know that i am not the only one running those rims on the street

[Ramrod]

yeah neither do I since my gas mileage pretty much double since I started running them.

yep so today I bobbed the bed 12" and got the driveline vibration cut way down by phasing the joints but it still needs to be rebalanced.  Other than that im feeling comfident that its gonna be ready.  It also looks way better with the bob and trimmed lower bedside.  Now I just have some grinding and a little mud work and its ready for a little custom paint work I got in my head to cover up the bob and spice up the bedside

[kiyul4130]

no pics huh? my buddy has the same exact taco only ex cab. its all stock right now. we got an axle for it, sliders, tires and some other odds and ends. its not running right now but hes going to build it up. we bobbed 12" out of it to a few days ago.

[Ramrod]

[kiyul4130]

[Ramrod]

[GrenadedToy]

my new favorite build. your truck is way sick. i want to build a taco now

[Ramrod]

buit a front bumper today and got a good start on some sliders.  bumper came out sick i think.

Also in case you didnt know:  This is my girlfriend-

she is the best girlfriend I could ask for and is more important than any of this truck stuff, and is not needy in any way and can drive my truck better than most of you guys

[kiyul4130]

sureeeeeeeeeee pat. yaaa right. hahaha. no angela is cool. i have a picture on my phone of you two, but now i dont have texting anymore. yes my mom pays my phone people!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ill send it to you when i get texting back. off to bed.

[kiyul4130]

ps, yes she wheeled around me. angela, i hate you.






-kiy fawkin, U L!

[gotrocks]

Pat you girlfriend sounds like my wife.  Strangly enough her name is Angela too and she's hot.  She is always wanting to get behind the drivers seat of my buggy and she isn't bad at wheeling either.  Not to mention that she also like to work in the shop with me from time to time.  I couldn't ask for more.  You better keep her around.  The guys are always telling me how lucky I am.  The other day when I broke my tranny up wheeling she said to me that I HAD to buy a new transmission right when we got home. 

[Ramrod]

yeah it seems like everybody likes her alot but she doesnt think so sometimes because none of them ever bring girls out. 

[MiniSimp]

Not bad Pat!

[toy4x4ota]

lets see the bed bob already!!!

[gotrocks]

yeah it seems like everybody likes her alot but she doesnt think so sometimes because none of them ever bring girls out. 

Thats because non of the other guys are lucky enough to find girls who like to have fun.

[Hyena]

Thats because non of the other guys are lucky enough to find girls who like to have fun.

[MiniSimp]

this is true 

Very true.

[Ramrod]

[kiyul4130]

[Duffil]

Damn, that looks good!

[Ramrod]

cool new tube! looks like you finally got around to painting that spring hangar! how about the frame now!

im getting to it, theres just so much grinding and so much other more important stuff to do.  I did get the passenger side done thought

I worked on it for a while today but didnt really get anything done cuz we are all kinda burnt out on fabbing but I did get a good start on a slip and twist style traction bar and did some more work on my sliders but we ran out of argon so I couldnt go any further

[MiniSimp]

Are you going to try to keep this body clean? Or will it end up like the white truck?

[Ramrod]

im not going to try to keep the body clean,I AM going to keep the body clean, flopp dents and scratches.

[sloyota]

chicks love body damage

[MiniSimp]

I AM going to keep the body clean

We'll see.

[Shamb]

There I fixed it for you
