[Duffil]

that looks pretty sick. You're gonna put the fender back on right?

St Pauli Girl?

[Ramrod]

ya im going to put the fenders back on i just have to notch them out first.  ya birdman there is all about the st. pauli girl.  I was drinking some hairy eyeball  and epic gravity last night, was pretty burly

[Rockcrawlintoy]

im diggin it. i plan on doin the same idea with the tube runnin under the fenders

[kiyul4130]

floppin' JUST blew my tire up on the highway......today sucks.

edit: oh ya. nice cage. the peice in the back looks weird by the tool box. cya in 2 weeks. edit again....alright now i see it. it just looks like an illusion and it runs down right behind the tool box and into the center of the bed. that was weird.

[BLACKDOG]

looks good pat.  I like the idea of running those bars under the fenders: yesnod: 

[Ramrod]

alright its crunch time, i have 11 days to get this beast ready.  Heres the list- rebuild front spring pack, drop rear 1-1.5", rear winch, bumpstops all around, finish exo, remove doors, wire up 2 6x9s and amp, cut out bed for tires in the rear, fill tcases with oil, rocklights, flop thats alot more than i thought

[kiyul4130]

walmart lights, get 4 for $30. there bright and real small. i just need a skit plate and some fuel

[Sluice Box Hero]

im with kyle skid and some fuel, although i could really use some chromos for the front, i see stubs breaking before the end of the trip.

Looks good Pat  .


I can bring my old off set housing. But its setup for 4-link. Why are you worried about the axle.

What day are you guys going down.

[kiyul4130]

x2, 3:54am phone call.... i didnt wake up though...

[Hyena]

he called me right after you. 

[Ramrod]

no i kept it legit with coors light last night it was probably the sickest night ive ever had in sonoma--film festival + sick ass band playing = hot rich tourists drunk everywhere and all my friends getting saucy.


Jason-  Im not worried about the housing just a shaft itself

[locktup]

Sorry, cant help with shafts.

[Ramrod]

ya thats what i figured

[slabcs]

you SHOULD be worried about your lugnuts being torqued properly

[Ramrod]

not too worried about that this year since im not driving

[kiyul4130]

ill probably need that on the way back when im broke down and pissed the flopp off. djklsf;askjdf;

[Ramrod]

im stoked i just scored a 350 watt mtx amp and all the wiring still intact out from under the seat of my 4runner that i didnt even know was there when i bought it, looks like ill have 175 watts going to each of my 6x9s at the hammers....ill be thumpin

[Hyena]

sickness.  what is the progress on the cage?  you gonna have everything done by next week?

[Ramrod]

didnt make any progress over the weekend, ill have it all done for sure or at least done enough.  the only thing it really needs is the bed cut for the tires everything else i never had before and was fine without

[kiyul4130]

get some of that really small black trim for the fenders. it will keep the tires from dying. next week..holy its coming fast.

[Ramrod]

tires wont die from cutting after i cut 8 more inches out of the bed

[Hyena]

Fitz came and picked up the tubing today.  they gonna try and fit 20 sticks on there 2 trucks? lol  was the other 5 sticks for Kevin?  or who?  fitz picked it all up though.

[Ramrod]

i think he plans on selling all of that, 5 sticks are for kevin for sure though and i dont know where its gonna go on his truck but he says he's taking the bender in the morning so after i bend up one last tube ill be done with the cage in the morning then i have to pull it all off and weld it up and paint it, im seriously so burnt out on this thing that i barely get done and even what i do get done doesnt even come out good, i cant wait till next wednesday to romp on this thing
