_HOIST_ · January 18, 2009, 08:37:50 PM

Yo the clear lights are like 3 bucks on ebay! And stockers are like 30! Since the junkyard didn't have any

but for real what'd I tell you about chewing on those keys! That's a bummer though.......You decide what you are doing with those tires and wheels I threw in on the deal haha

Im definitely goin to use them to drive down to hammers and tow a trailer or something with the 36s in them. haha

since i got my audi im just goin to keep the 36s on till they get bald then get some 38s or something

_HOIST_ · January 18, 2009, 10:55:38 PM

Dude I would be careful if you do actually run those 35's tires on anything. They had been sitting for a couple years so keep that in mind. We don't want any 50 MPH blowouts so make sure you test the waters first! Who would drive on bias ply Irok's that long of a distanace! Oh, wait I did thats why they're bald.

I'm very interested to see you flexing it out BEFORE and AFTER you move the shackle mounts man.

Thanks guys. Me too. I just got my new steering column from Goose tonight. Its sick, its even tilt wheel!

Hopefully itll all be good when its all together. I just wanna get it running good and get the new manifold and all the smog stuff all legit and then register and smog it. MAYBE take it up wheelin this weekend.

NorCalToy · January 20, 2009, 09:38:32 PM

truck looks good. any bigger plans than usual or keepin it pretty standard?

cuz a dedicated DD can usually help to evolve rigs more quickly...

Its just gettin dualed up, new tranny, chromo birfs and some protection. thats about it. its stayin standard, and its going to still be DD'able if i wanted it to be but it wont. ill drive it to work or to the store or whatever every once in a while. and of course it will be driven to and from the trail.

ToYocRawleR · January 21, 2009, 06:54:49 PM

Ill shoot for 2 weeks, I might be able to get it back together by then..

yota_krawler · January 21, 2009, 06:58:29 PM

yota_krawler · January 22, 2009, 12:04:52 PM

lol, fuk ya. so now whats on the todo list?

lilbuddy · January 24, 2009, 04:07:11 PM

Got the new TPS in that matt hooked me up with. Its got a lot of power around town but on the freeway its kinda slow. IDK why... Ill look into it later.

Probably going to be getting an exhaust manifold and downpipe a little later. Going to try to get that in tomorrow.

tom w. · January 24, 2009, 06:06:53 PM

Glad to see you got your rig dilemma sorted out chris

lilbuddy · January 24, 2009, 07:58:48 PM

Well i just got back from red bluff and meeting up with kneedownnate. he hooked me up with a manifold and downpipe and two brand new gaskets for the downpipe. Pretty awesome. Gunna take the other one out tomorrow and weld the new one in and rework all the stuff. Should be cool.

Pics tomorrow.

EDIT: Last night i also took my car out for some mudding/good ol fashion drifting in my buddys orchard. damn that was fun. the downfall was waking up this morning and seeing the ground covered in mud and then taking about 15-20 minutes to clean as much as the mud off underneath as i could.

I also just put rain-x on the windows too because just going to redbluff in back there was times it was raining so hard that i could hardly see the road at all. wasnt good.
