So today is my birfday and my parents got me a Deka intimidator battery, and a Vision X tantrum light kit. Im super stoked. All ready put the battery in and later this week i'll put in the lights. Kinda woke up with a head cold today i think i partied toooo hard on Halloween.

[swapped89]

So i got tired of my truck being two tone gray and black and started paintin my truck with some primer the other day. Non of the paint matches but at least its all a shade of one color now. lol
Before:




After:




And so far this is the only pic i can find of my truck when it was all straight and clean after i painted it, after my first roll over. My buddy was driven my truck to the beach haulin 3 dirt bikes, I was driven my GF runner when she took the pic. It was on 35x12.5 BFG MT.

i had to edit matt's "bird"


The view at the summit of this trail

[swapped89]

Its been a while since i posted in my thread. So I thought I would update on some mods that are soon to come. I have been collecting parts to revamp my ride.

#1- Hydro assist on the cheap got the ram-hydro lines-and cooler-brackets and fittings. I just need to make my res bigger and get the correct drills and tap to start the project. Also move steering box forward as far as possible.

#2- Remove some springs from my TG 5" leaf packs remove old solid rubber bump stops and put in some taller squshier bump stops. and re-drill spring perches to move axle forward 1.25"


#3- while christmas shopping i decided to order myself the MC-07 doubler and a 23 spline input gear. now i just need a transfercase.

When all is done my truck should sit 1-2" lower/ front axle moved forward (thinking about moving rear axle forward also for better wieght distribution) And be able to steer when aired down. I Got a lotta work ahead of me but i cant wait till its all done.

[mattlosch]

thats gonna be sick dude.. i gots to find me 2 cases for my duals.... maybe i should remove some springs too.. will it work better you think? we have the same springs....

[swapped89]

I know its gonna make the front softer but i'll probly just remove the 2nd or third spring from the bottom of the pack. And compensate with the tall squishy bump stops. and the rear i'll probly remove the 2nd and 3rd springs. i wanna keep the 1st small spring in each pack.(i think it will help lessen axle wrap)

[Early]

Plans sound good man. I've got some metric taps if you need. You finish painting you truck? Let me know if you need a hand.

[83 Crawler]

i really like your truck its sick. im pretty sure i saw you driving a couple weeks ago

[swapped89]

Thanks for the compliments

I went to the hardware store today got some bolts and a couple drill bits. Next weekend i should be movin the steering box forward, puttin on the hydro assist( as long as i get time to hit up the junk yard for an extra resevoir) And movin the front axle forward. I cant wait

[EARLY] Na i havent finished paintin the truck Been busy around the house and just havent felt like doin it yet.
   

[89sastoyo]

im stoked to see how your hydro asst works im calling the guy that has the bender tomorrow so I might be able to get it fairly soon. long story short he's my uncle used to own a bunch of race cars build all them and paid people to race em. so he has a bender from when he built the cages never uses it anymore his buddy's storing it and told me i could buy it so when ever i get ahold of him again ill go get it.

[swapped89]

right on. Ya i cant wait to get it all done. I might just end up puttin the ram behind the tie rod, i looked at the ram and all i would have to do to get it to fit under my oil pan is cut and rotate the mounting point that doesnt move on the ram. So that the hose fittings point backwards instead of straight up at the oil pan.

[mattlosch]

rubicon this year is gonna be sick!!! everyone will have good rigs too!
