Good luck with that, I am figuring late June at the earliest.  Dang the truck is coming around, paint it all one color and it would be pimpin'. You'll like the 37's but it will dog it down up the 4 lane quite a bit.

[86rustbucket [OP]]

Looking good! 

  thanks

looks great, can't wait till the snow melts and some trails open.

thanks,  ive been thinking the same thing.

[Joey88RUNR]

There is a big run at Jose basin. Don't think I'm gonna make it. I'll probably somewhere around bald that weekend

[75 toy]

I would like to go somewhere Memorial day weekend on Sunday, maybe bald. Saturday I will be Abaone diving in nor cal. If I don't go anywhere I will be working on the truck. I still need to finish the hoop to put my exocage back on.

[tommyboy]

[Joey88RUNR]

yeah man bald is totally melted, the tower should be accesable in 2wd

[88_Pathy]

I'll be up there all weekend...

[gtoyonrocks]

Looking good man... Thanks for all the pics...

[86rustbucket [OP]]

well i havn,t done much with it lately other than wheeling a couple times, nothing spectacular





I did shear 3 studs and both dowels off of my passenger side hub last time out, that is the first breakage so far since i got the 37's on

[Mavericks]

Looks good, I like how you trimmed your fenders!

[75 toy]

another shot of the fenders

[86rustbucket [OP]]

Looking good man... Thanks for all the pics...

thanks man, I'll work om some more soon

Looks good, I like how you trimmed your fenders!

thanks, i did it in about 15 minutes with some tin snips and a hammer


I need to remove my broken hub studs and start lookin into upgrading them, either with the longfield kit or maybe drilling then out and using a bigger bolt insted of the stud and cone washer.

  Most of the trails are open around here and i want to have it ready in the next couple weeks.

and i traded some stuff and ended up with these so i'm hoping to get them mounted up pretty soon, they're 36" IROK BIAS

[gtoyonrocks]

Sweet... I can't wait to get my iroks.

[Rocksnail]

truck looks good. your going to like them iroks, there so nice in the rocks. but your going to hate the bias ply on the road. dont expect alot of miles out of them.

[Joey88RUNR]

Dang....I'm jealous.    Can't wait to see them mounted up.  I think I'm headed into swamp weekend after this one!  Let's go!

[pumkin toy]

86rustbucket   buy the ARP hub stud kit from front range off road.  I used to have lots of problems with my studs breaking, so I put the ARP studs in and havnt had a problem since

  yeah im keeping these off the road unless i'm driving up the 4lane

Yeah Ive been looking at it but it's 70 bucks, and I just hate spending money

but i may just say screw it and buy em,  shitty thing is that i need longfield hub gears  and i WANT the extra dowel pin kit from longfield.
  so this front axle is getting pricey quick.

just twisting it up a bit

[86rustbucket [OP]]

ya we went to coyote on saturday,  it was my first time there it was a pretty good time.

wheeled it pretty hard and didnt break nothing

[86rustbucket [OP]]

 then we stayed the night in shaver and hit bald early in the morning.

i took my daughter to go play around on vrock and hollywood hill.
she actually took all the pictures, not bad for a 7 year old

vrock

[yotatough]

Nice.

[86rustbucket [OP]]

I got the iroks mounted up and got some new fenders cause i hacked the other ones up pretty bad,

Oh yeah and i've been working on finding some 15x8s and finally getting these things welded up for the past couple months and finally finished em up. They are the do it yourself kit from longfield
