[Dr.Maxwe001]

No need to rush. I know it's tempting, but it's better to finish it at home then on the trail, if you catch my drift.    Short cuts don't always make you happy at the end if it turns out a way you won't like. Remain patient and the reward is better.  Keep up the good work! 


Oh and nice job on that CAT too BTW. 

[NorCalToy]

Truck looks good dude

You've got that right!!!!! I love my truck.... now when someone asks me who built it I can say I DID! LOL!

Thanks again! That CAT was ALOT of work! I have alot of respect for guys that do that all the time.... It is NOT easy! I can honestly say that if I hadnt gotten on this forum I wouldnt have what I have today!  Everyone has shared ALOT of knowledge with me! So I owe everyone a CHEEERS to that, I really appreciate the advice, suggestions and motivation.... Keep on Krawlin!

I think that 2009 is finally MY YEAR! Great things are in laying right around the corner!



I will get the shock stuff all welded pretty today and hopefully get the rear of my frame boxed in. I might have to put a slight body lift in due to the rear shock hoop or just cut a section out of the bed??? I dunno yet, have to think about it a bunch... I'll set the bed on tonight and shave my fenders hopefully..... My boss is on his way to pick me up, he is very happy with the rebuild since I just payed about two months worth of everyones paychecks! HAHA!

More pics tonight

[THK Matt]

or make your own rear hoop/shock mount bar.

[twistedtoy92]

Well I got a few things done tonight after work:
-respliced all of my harness to my tail lights/blinkers/brake lights cuz i had a trailer light connection and it was clipped on with those wonderful blue clipy thingys and it got ripped out when i was wheeling so i half assed it together and it wasnt pretty.... so i  spliced and sealed it up nice!!

I also shaved the fender wells on the bed, i think they turned out very nice!  as far as the shock hoop goes, i was just going to cut a section of bed out cuz i DO NOT want a damn BL...... but still thinking about it and i was going to lower my shock hoop (its only tacked on ) and i will move my top bolts closer together or just add new ones so i can adjust as needed!! 

Here are a few pics.... only used one and a half cutting wheels

















Here's a pic of my dog's pup that I'm keepin, his name is Spot

[wampum]

That cut came out nice. You got plenty of room now.

Did they come?!

and I got everything done on the 4runner besides redrilling my tcase flange to accept my 85 driveshaft.
it turns over and wants to START SO BAD! sounds like no spark.
could be cause a sensor isn't hooked up.
Ill check that tomorrow.

otherwise this bad boy is ready to rock and roll!

hope so cause my sister is getting a 98 ZJ and this weekend we are swapping in a 5.9 with less miles in it, 6in lift kit and stuffing 38.5x12.5R15 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws on it.

If all this works out, then a wheeling run this coming weekend!

[twistedtoy92]

marlin stuff didnt come...... im bummed out! I've got so much to do and I have no wheels to do it!

i have to get this done this week... i've been bummin rides WAY too long!  im about ready to pull my hair out!

[THK Matt]

[John Doe]

Looks good. I hate waiting for parts, and I know how you feel having to bum rides. Keep us posted on the progress.

[THK Matt]

well TT, my 4Runner is on a MAJOR hold... I have a cab harness problem, fuel pump is bad...

I get no power to the fuel pump at all.... we ran a test wire from the battery to the pump and it made no noise at all.

lots of connections in my cab do not work.. so I need a cab harness

[rednk1980]
