[Thomas P]

yup thats the yota swallower, but the bottom side... cant believe the snow is already gone, how far did you go up? was there any snow left?

[Thomas P]

that culvert is all beat up, im guessing someone else did it on that side as well......

[95SAS]

[yota_krawler]

we went into spring valley. there was no snow at the lake but there was patches on the trail. check out my pics on my myspace, or jens. Hey is it cool if i barrow your welder? I have to do the exhaust on the s10 and finish the yota.

[Thomas P]

[THK Matt]

NEED UPDATES!!!!!!

WORD!

[Thomas P]

Alright fellers, now that my hand is feeling better, i have indeed began to work on my red x cab. Heres whats goin down.........

Bought a built toy axle with skys widening kit, hi steer, 27 spline longs, and a v6 third, I have parted it out and yota_krawler (my cousin) got the longfields and a knuckle since he sheared of 3 of his knuckle studs and the one that was left he unscrewed with his pinky. My father in law got the hi steer, and im putting on the widening kit, along with the ifs/cruiser brake setup. I also ordered some ARP studs so that I wont end up like Cody (yota_krawler) $72 for the 8 studs!!!   But its worth it right?

Also on the agenda, I finished up my rear bumper, and am in the process of putting on a 2wd bed, and new doors and fenders, im gonna try to get a pimpin custom paint job on it before the end of summer.
Pics soon........

[THK Matt]

thats awesome.
we need pics.

i cant wait to join the SFA Crew.

[Thomas P]

New fender and door The fender is flawless and trimmed up ready to rock, as is the pass side

Out with the old.........




In with the new

Primed the front of bed so that when I pant it later the paint will stay since its a hard to work on area

[THK Matt]

thats badass! you have the same colors as cody, just not all fancy. lol.

[Thomas P]

lol, yeah i was tellin  him the same thing! We got matching trucks! No bob job until my wife gets a crawler and she can carry the camping stuff.........

[THK Matt]

haha thats funny.
i wish i had your sunroof. im jealous.


oh gotcha. yeah thats what is keepin me from doing it for a while.
i have stuff i haul alot.

[Thomas P]

I think this is the first time my work truck has made an appearance on the board, its an 85 longbed, with everything under the hood brand new 2 years ago including a semi built putney motor, with mild head work, and a cam. I got the truck for free because some guy didnt want the pile in his yard anymore... (it had a blown head gasket)

[THK Matt]

BADASS STEAL!

looks nice.

[yota_krawler]

thats badass! you have the same colors as cody, just not all fancy. lol.

[THK Matt]

[95SAS]

[Thomas P]

hey ho, i got my old red sheetmetal, plus your silver sheetmetal, all you need is a couple black stripes!

[THK Matt]

ME?

[Thomas P]

yeah you! 

[Thomas P]

you are ho arent you? 

[THK Matt]

i am haha... but that confuses the hell outta me.

[Thomas P]

i see the confusion, let me clear it up, if i donate my red bed, fenders and doors to you, all you would need is some black stripes and you I and Cody can have the same colored trucks!

[THK Matt]

WOOT WOOT!!! haha.

my sheet metal is all cherry though.. ill just paint it i have black half doors, my truck is silver... and i can have red......... pinstriped doors? haha

[yota_krawler]

ya but nothing can compare to my yotas paint scheme!

[THK Matt]

ya but nothing can compare to my yotas paint scheme!

[yota_krawler]

lol my paint is just effin sick!!!! well kinda. I do like having a custom paint job but at the same time if i mess something up on the body it is hard to match the colors. And say I wanted to run a 2wd bed or something, I couldnt. unless I want to repaint the whole truck and I dont want to do that.

[Thomas P]

i know it is sick, i want to do mine sick but im kinda scared, especially since my truck is so tall, and I always mob tight trails, it wont be nice for long......
