Jrock's BuildUp

[superyota]

Lol. I can bring it to Roseville next weekend, but you're going to have to get it from there. I don't have room here so it can't stay for too long. Let me know

[superyota]

It even has the windshield in it. One problem though that I just remembered, it's a regular cab, not extended.

[jrock]

Started the tear down.

[Slolyfe]

Nice! Whats next?

[John Doe]

Didnt anyone ever tell you,  speed  kills, that includes Trucks 

[Slolyfe]

Nice! Whats next?

[jrock]

I'm looking for clean cabs right now. This evening I'm looking at a 86 xcab. The cab is toast, like I said. It's splitting, creased, bent and all the other. It isn't worth thinking about fixing.

[superyota]

It's just a scratch!   

Let me know if you want me to bring the cab back from bako this weekend. I'll have trailer so it won't be a problem.

[jrock]

That megabcab is tempting. But I don't realistically think it's my fit. I would love to restore it and drive it for a little while. I wouldn't mind having a reg cab but I would need to buy suspension seats do I could fit in the thing.

Progress.

[superyota]

Dang! Your werent joking about having it back together before the roundup!

[Slolyfe]

attaboy.

[superyota]

Is the frame still straight?

[jrock]

I'll know today.

[Wermz84]

Damn.  and right on with the progress.

[jrock]

How about this for a body lift....

[superyota]

Sweet!

[Wermz84]

Those would be rather large pucks, but you could double your tire size.

[jrock]

Monster truck size

More damage.....

[Slolyfe]

Your neighbors must love you...

[jrock]

Only one is a PITA. He was talking pictures of me today.

I didn't used any power tools. Trying to keep noise down. I don't know why I bother. Worked on it from 11am to 2pm.

[nisota]

where do you live im from southern oregon.

[Gixxer Jon]

Jerome, did you learn your lesson about drifting in the mudd?
You stripped her pretty quickly! Cut it off at the dash and leave the firewall and build a buggy!

[jrock]

I'm in Fortuna Ca.

I would do an Ftoy but it needs to stay street legal for a while longer. I cant afford a trailer and nothing is close enough to warrant a buggy. Maybe after I move to Sac or even Bako. For now it's going to be back with full body but clean. Next step will be an exo of my building and design.

And drifting in the mud... learn my lesson...? Heck no! I learned I need more horsepower in order to pull out of it and keep the tires spinning.

[nisota]

I have 1 grouchy neighbor too but I really dont care im gonna make it to the round up im determined, gonna drop in motor & sas my 2wd this week.

[John Doe]

Monster truck size

More damage.....

Talk about topless. That is 1 Naked truck. Good to see progress. At the rate you are going you will be more then ready for the round up.

[jrock]

From here I am re doing all the gussets and I'm going to plate the front of the frame. Moving the shock hoops to make room for the air bumps. I've even thought about moving the body rearward about 1" and loosing the body lift. Would sit super low
