96 cruise vessel build

[Doof]

5gs in a few weeks?? 

damn, ive been working 5 months and my net is just now over 3g's


are you getting paid like 15 an hr?

[snowshoebrue]

no I actually took on another job at a christmas tree lot, hope to break 5gs net in the next couple weeks so it will be worth it

i used to work at christmas tree lots during christmas break when i was going to school.  always made a ton of money in a real short time.  it amazes me that someone will spend $400 on a tree and then give you a $50 tip on top of that just for doing your job.

Yeah i have too

Even though i was working for my grandpa and he didnt pay worth I still made a good amount of money in a short amount of time.

Sure is gay work though. Well working at the lot isnt but working in the mountians cutting the trees is such a pain in the ass

[Ramrod]

new shinys coming for sure but not for this rig...........

i dont mind working at the christmas tree lot I work at because its flat and the trees are already cut down plus.........im the boss pretty much.  Talking with my normal boss yesterday I think this kinda monthly salary might just be the norm after the start of the year, im stoked on the chance

[sloyota]

saw you sitting in traffic yesterday morning with your dog on the 101 in novato

[Ramrod]

[sloyota]

[Ramrod]

[Ramrod]

I was so drunk right then i didnt even know what was happening

[Inittowinit]

.

[sloyota]

hey Pat,you working at a x-mas tree farm in Marin by the civic center?

[Ramrod]

yep!, not sure about today though

[Doof]

updates? or still to busy making 5 g's sellin trees?

[Ramrod]

slangin trees and schoolwork... actually possibly going to look at a 97 runner tomorrow or the nextday which will be the biggest update to this trucks build it could ever get because then id actually be able to work on it

[Doof]

good luck with that...

[Ramrod]

ya ive wanted a runner for some time now and this one looks pretty legit for the price so im gonna check it out and see what it looks like.  I dont know much about those runners so I wont really know if I like it till I drive it

[tom w.]

Pat, I read the buildup thread on your '86, and from the few pictures you had up, your first gen looked friggen sweet.

[Ramrod]

ya I really liked that truck and wish I still had it even though my taco is way more bad ass theres just something to be said for an oldschool toy on 33's that you can have fun wheeling anywhere with and not have to worry about a thing.  But I still like being able to haul ass in my taco and hit the big .  Heres some more pics of my first gens short life

[Ramrod]

ya I should also say I decided im going to run a wishbone 3 link in the rear instead of the panhard bar.  I think it will be better for high speed desert type mashing because the axle will just go up and down through its travel not side to side also.  Plus I think its a little cleaner and cooler looking.  Im going to cancel my order for the 35's from 4wheelparts tomorrow to fund buying a 4runner also.  As soon as I get a runner my truck will be getting pulled apart very quickly though and the work will get started.  i havent ordered the parts for the front yet because im holding out to make sure I have enough cash for a runner

[kiyul4130]

you gunna link it like billys then right.

[Ramrod]

yep, I need to take a pic of the new housing in his its sick! only difference is im going to use a jimmy joint for my upper and poly bushings at the axle end of the lower links to save some money and so theres some give when im bashing .  in the front the lower are going to be exactly the same as the rears so I can have 1 spare.  the only joints I need to buy now are 6 poly bushings and the 1 jimmy joint(bank)

[kiyul4130]

it will be cool. his rear end twists up good. you should see the round up footage of him going up the wall. the wall was funnnny. commentary by people in the background is rad.

[Ramrod]

is truck is flexing hardcore now with the new springs and front hanger
