went over to the dunes yesterday for the first time in the truck. its a lot of fun out there but i need more power to be satisfied. caught a little bit of air off a razor back  but the landing didnt feel so great.  other than that i had a great time, the weather was great too 

only got a few pics cause i was too busy driving 









my buddys ford that towed me over there, its a money pit

went and did some mobin yesterday on the rocks at shotgun. went through the crawl backwards first , which i never do, and made it just fine. then went the other way and finially killed some birfs. i went so long with never breaking one (ive never broke a birf) and then break them both within a couple minutes. i had 1 spare so i ripped the front end apart and pulled the long side out and left it empty and pulled the short side and put the spare in. put it back together and had 3 wheel drive the day was good besides all that 







the fun part

not much has changed. that link is pretty funny, ive never even seen that thing before.

im waiting for taxes to come then im gonna order up some longs. probably just go with the 27 splines. i know quite a few people with them and they take some abuse. plus im not getting much for taxes.

ive done a few things, made a diff armor for the rear. also fixed a few leaks. thats about it
should have some cash within a couple weeks to order up some goodies 

havent even went wheelin in a couple months

[TheCookieMonster]

Thanks guys. im pretty happy with the look of it, it should work good for what im using it for. im planning on getting some small lights to put on there also. the bumper is actually a little crooked in the picture but i fixed that when i final welded it. also found a tailgate after looking forever, gonna get that narrowed up and put on there sometime soon. ill post pics when i figure out whats wrong with my photobucket

[pumkin toy]

dovetail looks sick mang!

[NITE KRAWLERS]

dovetail looks sick mang!

YA dude it does look sick fo shor. Dat tailgate is da  to.  man. I still think a runner dovetailed would be the sickest yet, we should do derricks dude. Not like we could mess it up, HA HA. Mines cut up and to buggy short to and you want room for spare so that leaves my bro left. I want to see it done so bad, it would be killer. Love the dovetail man, keep up the good work!!!! 

[NITE KRAWLERS]

Oh an the YOTA on the tailgate is so tricky trick n man. Nice choice of tube on the bumper to and it looks dope man, it makes da truck look good. HA HA

[twistedtoy92]

Thanks for the comments guys.. i really like how the tailgate came out also, i have a lot of time in that thing but it was worth it. got the hinges mounted last night so its actually functional now !! i just need to strip all that old paint off and give it a fresh coat, and finish welding a few spots.
