FEAR OF RUNNER build up (dual case time)

[Volcom]

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!

Oh i got some proof commin up for ya shoyrrt we went yesterday and last Thursday.

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.

Yeah, i'm still waiting on my front shocks, marlin sent me the 10" and needs to be the 12".  Also i got a mean vibration and grinding commin from the transfer case so if anyones got any ideas please post up on this thread. http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=33772.0

But thanks Gittinit, i'll always be workin on the runner upgrading, replacing and customizing parts that's just what we do on these things

[Not A Toy]

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]

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]

Nice buildup!  Feels great to get it out of the garage and onto a trail!  Congrats on the 84, I love mine 

[blackdiamond]

I think our rigs have a few things in common. 

[twistedtoy92]

looks like it should look!!! nice job on the build!

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)

Here is the top :

and a poly on the spring plate

[fatt_matt]

nice runner.. enjoy the bumper and new pics..

[Fearofrunner]

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]

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]

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.

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.





flexing on mother natures ramp



and a group shot before we headed up the trail

[Fearofrunner]

and then some aftermath shots from last night which was a FU*%ING blast! Tons of mud and none of us got stuck or had carnage

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?
