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.

[91 ex-cab]

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]

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]

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]

[swapped89]

[83 Crawler]

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


and i put that sticker on my truck

[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]

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]

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]

That center console looks really good
