Oh yeah and we went for a quick wheelin trip last night and I can tell i'm goin to get into some trouble with this thing.

I feel that same way everytime I drive mine

Plus I don't care about body damage and that freaks people out that have nice rigs

It's a lot more fun to to wheel it with a "few" dents than run the "mall crawler".

When are you going to fix that camera!

Ok i finally got some free time to update.

Rear bumper acid etched and primed with an epoxy primer.

Then used three cans of Dupli-color spary on bed liner ($7.47 a can). I really like this stuff paints on textured and is a super hard rubber. (thanks for the idea NAT)

And some beautiful drive shafts from TOM WOODS!!! $690.00 for all new shafts and that's with a $80 club discount.

By By pay check.

I know how it goes but I have been suffering from the whole what to do next "confusion". Thats why I was wondering what you are going with your runner.

Shoyrtt · « **Reply #193 on:** May 22, 2007, 05:28:28 PM »

Is this on the bumpstop fully compressed? Remember after the springs settle a bit, you might need to adjust them (I did). With that little bit of cancer, you should just tub the fenders a bit. I'll send you a link to a nice write up.

looks good

Volcom · « **Reply #195 on:** May 22, 2007, 09:13:15 PM »

Nice buildup! Feels great to get it out of the garage and onto a trail! Congrats on the 84, I love mine $Beer Chug\'n$

I think our rigs have a few things in common.

that's with no bump stop in the rear, i don't think i want it goin anymore than that because it was starting to reverse the shackle end of the spring. What did you use for the rear bump stops, i'm thinkin the old factory front stops

I have a piece of 2X2 stock welded to the bottom of the stock upper bump stop location and a poly bump stop mounted to the top of the spring plate (I hope that is clear

). I'll try to find a picture.

I can't seem to find the thread on wheel tubing. Bandit on the Pirate board did a nice write up with a lot of pictures. 8)

Fearofrunner · « **Reply #202 on:** May 25, 2007, 10:11:05 AM »

thanks shoyrtt i'll have to do something like that, whenever i can get this front end wobble fixed. ill flex it out and take some measurements in the back and go from there.

Shoyrtt · « **Reply #203 on:** May 25, 2007, 12:18:33 PM »

I about read your t-case woes.

I am guessing one of the bearings is shot.

Did you have any trouble with it before the lift?

Fearofrunner · « **Reply #204 on:** Jun 07, 2007, 07:39:12 AM »

Thanks for all the compliments guys

got a few pics for ya.

Started working on the sliders the other night and got them all ready for paint.

Couple welding shots of buddy dave helpin out

my buddie alans clean 2 seater 85. auto trans, chain t-case, 4.56, 22re, all-poo front springs and alcan rears with some beefy homemade 1/2"x 3 1/2" shackles and no back seats

first one I've seen. It's a little goat of a runner. But will soon be upgraded.

When or if Alan decides to add a rear seat, the "rear seat delete panel" that makes the rear like a truck sometimes will fetch some decent $.

Any pictures of it?
What is next on your list of things to do? Front Bumper? Winch?
