Topic: Swapped89 party bus picture update

[Early]

Dang i miss going out, stupid motor. Pics look sick.

max's deuces are real purdy

that 7 psi pic looks like your trucks bowing. like a charactuor painting or something.

7 psi

It so nice when you don't have to paint your new metal cause theres 2 weeks of no rain in PNW, haha


Edit: is next week happening?
and your ram protection looks like it did work, good job bud.

Thanks 86 rustbucket.

95 in on the fence about just spraying it one color or payin 200$ for a wrap. I'm leanin towards paint cause I'm always in tight trails scratching body panels on rocks and what not. I think if the wrap catches a rock it would rip big holes in it.
If I spray it. It'll just be primer grey. Some easy paint like duplicolor or somethin

The wrap could like kinda cool if you left it black underneath, might leave a cool affect when you rub off a rock , or it might just get totally screwed up and look like . I'd say either leave it the way it is or go for the wrap
Oh and on that 7psi pick you took why is there a duck on your passenger fender

[swapped89 [OP]]

Lol. That's funny you noticed the duck. My buddy works at a wrap shop and with the extra wrap left from jobs, he cuts these ducks out an sticks'm on friends cars randomly. So he stuck the duck one night. Then I painted over it and peeled the sticker off. My buddy has the duck tattoo'd on his calf too same size solid black and a patch of grass. So it's kinda just an inside joke thing. But now you know.

trip looks like fun... what was the setup on that jeep that blew a rear end?

[swapped89 [OP]]

EARLY- now that I look at it. It does look like a charactour bowing. That's funny. And ditto on that last part.
:EDIT: what's next week? I forget.

NORCAL- i think he had a Dana 40. But I'm not sure maybe someone from the trip will chime in that knows for sure. And 36" iroks

[NorCalToy]

[83 Crawler]

I think its a high pinion 44 but i might be wrong, it wheels so nice to.

[Early]

what's next week? I forget.

I thought there was talk of a day trip. driving the runner to work tomorrow. Gonna make a front shaft this week. Shes ready....i think.  Won't be worth much cause of the winter tires, though i get to feel the 2.28 again!

[swapped89 [OP]]

83crawler glad you installedthe sticker haha 

EARLY- ah yes. The ole 2.28 is fun after not havin It for awhile. I forgot about the day trip idea, but I'm 99% sure I got nothin else to do.

[83 Crawler]

 

[Cheesemaker]

I know Kit aka Kristopher/Hidesintrees, from the Timbercrawler forum. He's one cool dude.



I met him last January on a run.  I was drooling over his camera equipment. 



I'd love to go on a run with ya, just depends if there is a open seat, and if I happen to have the day off.  My work schedule sucks donkey.  I work a 6/2 schedule. 

[83 Crawler]

kit has the only jeep i like. he goes everywhere

[swapped89 [OP]]

Made a center console thingamajig to clean up my shifter boots. And hopefully keep all the hot dusty air from flyin in my face on the trail.

Bottom side. 1/2'' foam gasket around the edge. And the boots are siliconed to the sheet metal.


Top Side, painted it with Rust-Oleum Hammered Metalic Grey


Installed, I only had a few self tapping screws but Im gonna try and find some cool hardware at Winks tomorrow Looks shiny now but I doubt it will for long.

[Peterbuilt84]
