Well Rick and I were going up this sunday but it looks like AJ took over the run so i dont know. Ill go up when I want

[Geno]

So what you gonna start with first?  Do you have a front driveline already?

[lilbuddy [OP]]

Well today I did a bunch of work...

Cleaned out the bed, interior (sorta) ripped out a BUNCH of random wires, got my deck speakers and subs in (subs are ghetto cause the back is uneven, i really need all the interior parts) ummm got all my blinkers and lights working, got a new brake line in, bled all the brakes, just did a bunch of random stuff...

I also did get a new starter cause the old one was making sounds that should NEVER be coming from a motor, it was terrible. It finally just didnt even start and I had 12.47 volts so i went to Autozone and got one of their POS starters. Starts up loike a CHAMP now. Oh and before I had a check engine light and with the new starter I dont so Im guessing there was some sort of signal for the starter and the CEL was because of that. No more check engine!!! w00t!

Plan for tomorrow:
Get welfare sticker (red tag)
Get the crowe 5pt harnesses and install them
go to pick n pull and try to get any taco parts but mainly window wipers and maybe turn signals for the front
Mount driver seat better
Mount pass seat better
Make/start making square dline
Put rain-x on the windows
Get more bolts for front diff, seal it and add oil
Go to AAA and get insurance on it
Maybe put that Borla muffler on it? It soudns sick without it so IDK

If I cant get it all done tomorrow Im also going to work on it Friday. The big things for me to do is window wipers, registration seat belts and the front drive line.

I have a drive line but its stock and its just a TINY bit too short so Im just going to make a new one. He had a new 12" slip for it at his house but of course I forgot to get it. He said hes going to send it to me so when he does ill get rid of the square one and just make a nice round one with that slip.

How much are they though?

Im not going to start putting money into things likt that. First things first and this pregnant dog is gettin duals... I already got the FROR crossmember so all i need to do is move it back when i put duals in and im good to go

[Goose]

I heard that kits $100 from somebody that already bought it..
apparently the leds are pretty tough too..

I debating on the cheap halogen rock lights which i already have two of..
or going the led route..
they're nice on the alternator thats for sure..
and the strobe effect is a cool funny extra..

Yeah theyre cool...

I was goign to get ones like ajs till i saw that he has 8 and they really arent nearly as bright as the rocklights on my old truck so I wont get them..

If this one was good id look into it but its hard without first hand experiencing how bright they are.

"Tantrum’s master controller varies speed and pattern to fit the user’s needs or LEDs can be left on a solid color."

yeah they can be left a solid color,
the bright white ones would be the color to go with of course...

i couldnt even imagine the power then. 0-60 is fast as it is.

[Ramrod]

those things sound sick with a borla muffler and no cat! wait till you smog it then redo the exhaust with no cat and that borla and a tailpipe and you'll be ballin

[skipnrocks]

Time for a grudge match race with AJ now?   

[88_Pathy]

I have a Borla on the 3rz but still have the cats and a header.  It is quiet inside but the exhaust note outside is mean.

[lilbuddy [OP]]

Yeah I think ill probably just throw the muffler on soon so I can get it smogged and what not. Its honestly not that loud with no muffler. Its loud but not like my 22re was straight piped.

Time for a grudge match race with AJ now?   

Thats not even a fair race.... Now im going to race my buddy darrin with a 96 runner with a 3.4. Thatll be a little more fair
