Its very addicting. Be careful next thing you know you'll be spending more time in the garage than the house then you'll start spending more on gas to wheel than gas for the DD. Then you'll start dreaming of new ideas and projects......

Its a great feeling.

Dingman. · October 12, 2009, 08:32:54 PM

Thomas P · October 13, 2009, 11:42:47 PM

just put a rear welded rear in the wifes rig, then mike helped me strip the front axle down and put a lockright in the front 3rd, im gonna get the front axle fully gusseted, armored and trussed this week, then put the 30 spline longs in and fully rebuild the axle, so its gonna be locked up with 4.10's until winter is over and I can be sure of full time work then we will go with a v6 spooled rear, lockright front and 5.29s

basser530 · October 14, 2009, 07:44:20 AM

I'm lookin forward to the snow Thomas. We signed the papers for the house yesterday we hope to be in this weekend then I can pull the R&P and get it swapped out so i'll be ready for winter. By the way thanks for your help.

Dingman. · October 20, 2009, 06:49:30 PM

So whats in store for the red x?

Thomas P · October 20, 2009, 08:10:49 PM

possible 5 gallon air tank with a cutoff just in case i dont need it, redneck beadlocks maybe? (muttlocks) or the beadlock screws

still researching, i dont know what else to do without upgrading axles or doing links, im not too sure on either of those, i also need a high output alternator. anyone think of another project? im really thinking of off-ing this truck for a taco, but its hard to let my baby go

Dingman. · October 20, 2009, 08:12:09 PM

P-DiseToy24 · October 21, 2009, 05:16:25 PM

Sounds like a killer deal but think about the things you could do in a 80,000 buggy........
