whats all marlin on this truck ,,,thought i saw a sticker and shift knob??

[weirdtimes_7]

So far:

1) Shift Nob
2) ceramic clutch
3) Rock sliders
4) axle breather
5) rear axle seals
6) drive shaft bolt's, but these are petty

and thats all for now, but i need more $$$$ to get more MC stuff.. i saving for the SAS kit and a rear bumper... think i found an axle... but waiting for the funds to buy em all

i can't believe you put a ceramic truck that you drive daily LOL i thought you were swapping that out

[weirdtimes_7]

Nope, was going to but decided not to because it's going to become a crawler someday.. might as well put the clutch in now and not have to buy another one later... Plus, ceramic's arn't as bad for DD as eveyone says they are

[gateguard,ut]

x2 . I completely understand how it is having to save up money for a long time before I can even do something little. The truck is looking good. A bit of a ways to go but I am sure it will get there. Keep up the good work!

[papa mike]

what gears  do you plan to run ,,529's?   are you going four inch lift????i think that style truck looks good with half doors

[weirdtimes_7]

Thanks guys for the support... it seems like if you haven't done anything MAJOR to your tuck, then it's not worth a minute of people's time... but hey, i don't care what they say....

oh, and gateguard,ut -

1) Shift Nob - Free, thanks to CRUZILA
2) ceramic clutch - $279
3) Rock sliders - $169
4) axle breather - $30
5) rear axle seals - $10
6) drive shaft bolt's, but these are petty - $10

Total - $498.00 Not to include tax's

I know it's not much, but for someone who is gone 7 month's out of the year to the desert, and then has to take care of his family, it's a lot....

Found extrta door's already, just waiting to get my tools together and have a good weekend to build em. I know it aint hard to make um, just waiting for a good weekend (and access to a welder) to built em.... I plan on doing the MC 5 inch with 35's... don't really know a whole lot about gearing, just something that i can still use for a DD and go wheelin a rock crawling on the weekends.... what do you think would be good gearing?? 4.10's.... 4.88's? something higher than that??

military_stang

[papa mike]

im not to sure what to tell you about the gears,,i went 529's  but its up to you on it

military_stang

for 35's i would run 3 or 4 inch springs and gears 5.29. just my two cents

[weirdtimes_7]

why 3 or 4 inch?? and is 5.29's going to be low enough for city driving?

military_stang

the  lower the gears  the higher the number  ,,so like  410's are higher then  5.29's

I know that the higher the gears are, the easier it is to turn your tire's, but i also know that this lower's the top speed of the vehicle... i'm not out to win any race's, but i still want to be able to drive 75 MPH on the freeway...

So, 5.29's are better... sweet.. thanks mike for your help, i will be keeping this in the back of my head when it come's time to buy new gears..
