91 xtra cab build

[1985CRAWLER]

thanks man, you should! its subtle but funcitonal.  oh and stop hoarding all the OG MTRs!

yup yup

thats me, i think at one point an time i had 3 sets of 37" OG mtrs with about 80% tread sitting in the garage just hoarding them lol

thats pretty much all ive ever ran, but i think once they are extinct i will go with the 37" trxus MT , i had those for a little while

haha, they are an awesome tire.  I have no idea what to run next.  I was thinking about the ProComp MT2 in 40 just cause i can get a good deal on them, but i dunno yet, havent heard much about it.

a lot has happened since i last posted.  Trip to moab, and at least a dozen other trips.  blew a 3.4 up, blew up the t-cases, bent the front housing, sheared driver hub studs, and blew a front diff    but its still on the road and running.  gonna be a big rebuild this winter.  picked up a set of 40s and beadlocks, along with a lot of other goodies

Just went through this whole build. Sweet yota bro! You gonna rebuild the 3.4 or swap in a diesel?

thanks man.  I just swapped another 3.4 into it, the truck was down for less than a week and we were out wheeling the following weekend.

theres been so many wheelin trips, this summer its hard to keep them all straight.  Between fixing everything i broke and wheelin it was a busy summer.  a bunch of random pics from the summer.  I dont think one body panel was untouched.

picked up a set of 40s, and method beadlocks.  throwing a FF/disc FZJ80 rear end in the truck....then some goodies for the front

Jared and I get out with the rig once or twice a summer and do some wheeling together, but that is about it for him now.  He is busy with more important things, like his second daughter just being born! He is doing great, I'm just carrying on the build we originally wanted to do

finally got the rear end all together and driveable.  obviously still a lot of work left but im stoked how its coming out so far.  wayy shorter and wayy wider.  I actually used the old bed mounts for the gas tank.  Cut them off the outside of the frame and swapped them onto the inside, gas tank dropped perfectly on top of them.    and yes, those are 40s in the back and 37s in the front right now

[Matty]

more progress pics. a look into the boatsides and start of the bedcage with skins ......and a glimpse into the new 

[THK Matt]

wicked dude!

[Matty]

its been a while!  this thing has seen a TON of trails.  Moab, Hammers, Farmington, Gypsum, Montrose, BV, and everything else in between.  Ill try to post some of the highlights, but my photos are apparently too big and photobucket now sucks.  What's everyone using for photo sharing?
