[YODAWILL]

 (RIP RAPTOR)  OK now time for a body swap.

[kiyul4130]

once again. damn that sucks! new body and time to do all the mods over again. that thing was sick.

[havik]

hey rockwalker are the glass fenders in ok shape??
and yes that sucks.
just before summer

[Ramrod]

I dont think the fenders are any good but dont worry we just went and picked up the replacement and all I have to say is im jealous.  Its and 85 sr5 ALL option runner, white, rebuilt motor that blew a head gasket, 31" mts, blah blah, super super clean for $800.  I'll have pics later and some of me finally getting to flex since I put on my 35" tires

damn that sounds sick. you guys need to keep an out for chris. i bet your truck will flex so much with the smaller tires.

[Ramrod]

what does chris need? billy has a couple shortblocks with unknown histories that he would probably be willing to part with for cheap, oh and dont worry I already have a new home for the front axle for the truck thats getting parted out

[Ramrod]

keep and eye out for another build soon

[ToYocRawleR]

How do you know Tom he has a black 92 on 37in Iroks.

[yotadork83]

could you get some pics of that cage in that 4runner i am looking for ideas on how to do mine.

[Ramrod]

ok so its officially crunch time for the hammers which I will be leaving for on april 24th.  I have tons of stuff to do and its all coming up just in time for life to be getting really busy. I have a big bass tournament the weekend before that so i'll have to be practicing everyweekend and I am starting another class on fridays. Hmmm...
- Skidplate
- new rear springs
- trac bar
- figure out steering pump fluid problems
- clean up and gusset several sas parts
- figure out driveline vibe
- bed bob
- rock sliders
- front and rear bumpers
- new exhaust
- get seats mounted
- full tuneup
- change all fluids
- install my interior cage (maybe)
- tub firewall
- trim massive amounts from all fenders
- test, tune, tweak

hopefully thats it.  it is a ton and im not looking foward to it.  I think im just gonna take off all work the week before I go which is spring break so I can just focus on my truck and get it completely tightened up because I dont want to break 500miles from home.  Im also gonna have to do this while going to school full time and working full time and spending time with my great girlfriend and saving up enough to even go on the trip.  its gonna be rough but ill do it.  See you guys there!!!

[Hyena]

[Ramrod]

no probably not, i hella wanted to but my boss just payed for me to go to some hunting club next weekend without any notice but I cant pass it up because he'll probably never take me again if I do.  thats on sunday but if I dont get my tube I might come over on sat
