Glen's budget rebuild

[6.72:1]

That was nice of the V-Man to do that for you Glen.

Shoot, you have it going on now! I like the way it looks! In fact, I ordered a 1" body lift for mine the other day!

I understand what you did with the tubes and the lift pucks. I think it was a great idea. You can never go too strong!


Keep up the good work!

[4inchToyotas]

Bout time those came in. I wasn't sure when you were gonna get it in. he's had it in the works for a while. hehe

[79coyotefrg]

yea  he's a pretty good  feller 


Mom said  she's gonna have to    though   she cant  get in so good 

  now  she says i gotta build  some steps/sliders 

oh wait                           

[Rocksurfer]

  Your "exhaust" is showing.

Might want to watch the water getting on the plugs..etc
Maybe now raise the motor and transmission one inch for better ground clearence too.

That's not his exhaust showing, he's just really happy to see you.

   only tube i see is the front drive shaft

[79coyotefrg]

ITS BROKE 


i got stuck,  dang rear bumper is getting redone  ASAP,  that anchor has hung me up for the last time.

i went thru  a  ravine  i SHOULD have been able to cross,    and hung the  of the truck out to dry  so  i was trying to drag it off by  useing the front wheels,    and something BROKE 

im guessing a birf  but  dont know why 

[79coyotefrg]

i had just loaded  a old frig  someone had dumped  and was almost to the road 

[Lady Di]

 dangit man!

[79coyotefrg]

it was the passenger side birf 

[4inchToyotas]

time for longs? hahaha j/k looks like it's time to rename this buildup...no longer has it stayed on budget

[79coyotefrg]

  yea i never knew there was a budget

[Willy Mammoth]

Maybe you can get a cheap set of longs, but I doubt it.

Don't you have another stocker to put in. If not I am sure there are some around. I know I have at least 4 here.

[79coyotefrg]

well its clean,  time for a

[79coyotefrg]

i called Marlin,  he said i could use the one from that green truck 

[79coyotefrg]

 

[79coyotefrg]

it went  with  the tires  straight 

why i put my left foot on the brake  i  do not know

[blackdiamond]

If the wheels were not turned then the axle should be the weak link.  I'm guessing that the birf was already on the way out.  It seems that powerbraking should minimize any impact loads and reduce the chance of broken parts.

[Gittinit]

What a familiar sight that is! when I started breaking birfs I thought ''cool trophies'' ,now I just whish I could afford some longs. Mabye after the first of the year I can sell some of my vacation days for some cash.

[79coyotefrg]

my guy in Hotsprings has some Michael,  but  i dont know  how much  and i have no cash 

[79coyotefrg]

i guess  one of the balls  hung in the knuckle,  i couldnt turn the pass side tire  for nothing,  tried to turn  and  the  tierod  went nuts 

[insane04]

 

got one for you what is your address

[79coyotefrg]

i  need a Marlink,   but  till then  im going to sleeve the tierod tomorrow  with some 1 inch sch 40  i have

[79coyotefrg]

amazingly  the 2 inch body lift  has  fixed  my cooling problem,  i can mash hard on the skinny pedal  and not get over 190

I had the same problem once, partof the reason I started towing mine. I would much rather fix it at home than on the trail. I broke a driverside thn had to drive home (about 10min) whithout turning to the left. Had some fast shift/clutch work that day, espically after I made it to town.

um  you still wanting to trade?

[79coyotefrg]

um  you still wanting to trade?

yes  but  not sure with what  since  the birf  i had  turned out to be bad,  and  i  havent got anything  but  taillights for your truck, and some 83  dash stuff 

i really REALLY  want that  instrument cluster  and turn sig/headlight switch hicky

[Gittinit]

 :down:I was hoping to get 2 good birfs as of now I have four but 2 have been ground on and one is patched.So one good spare. The 3 in question would break unloading the rig off the trailer.  What else ya got? The bad part about the tails is, I am not running the stockers ,I just thought I'd pick em up for a friend.

[79coyotefrg]

ah,  hmm  need a wide, 86 housing

[Gittinit]
