My 84 extra cab is gone. Tacoma build now.

[Hyena]

I will make it to the round-up if i have to put my old birfs back in.  I still have one treated longfiled that is good and i have 4 spare birfs that are stock.  I just won't be able to do the hard stuff.  (ya right, i will try it anyway)

[gotrocks]

what are you taking in school?

[Hyena]

I have 3 auto classes.  AT 61 Vehicle and Engine Analyzation, AT 64 Hydrolic/Brake Systems, and AT 79 Suspension and Wheel Alignment.  Had my first class today (AT 64)  It was pretty cool.  Not boring or too hard yet.  I have the other 2 classes tomarrow.

[RHG]

The collages around here dont have for auto, the community college used to have a real sweet auto program but they dumped it. My gf goes to sac state and they dont have . I dunno bout Davis but who cares, they wouldnt let me step foot on that campus. What college are you going to Hyena?

[Ramrod]

I'm going to the santa rosa jc and they have a really good auto program.  I am not taking any but I have lots of friends to have/do.  I chose the natural resource management/hippy route and after 2 weeks I'm already over the tree huggers in my class.

[Hyena]

I am going to Sierra College in Rocklin.

[Hyena]

Ordering 30 spline cromoly birfirlds tomarrow!!!!!!!!!!!  Little Sluice here i come!!  Im gonna test them like no tomarrow. 

[Hyena]

The new axles will be in the mail tomarrow, hopefully i can get them on friday and install them this weekend.  Then it won't be a last minute thing like always.

[Hyena]

Got the new axles in and the truck is ready to go.  Evene took it for a test drive.  first time it had seen pavement in over a month.  Now the only problem is getting a trailor.  the guy i usually barrow it from is out of the state.  his trailor is hooked up to his truck and they are both parked in his shop locked.  I talked ot his wife and she is trying to call him.  If i can't get that trailor i will see if i can get Chris's trailor (Toy on 40s).

[TEXXX]

i was gonna call chris tomarrow!

[Hyena]

Give him a call.  I guess if worst comes to worst i can drive my toy up there.  Just need to air up my tires and switch drive lines.

[Hyena]

Before going through Little Sluice and major rock crawling.


After


Big difference of what 2 years can do to a truck.

[toybuilt]

I like the before and after pics shows a lot, at lest you can say you've been through Little Sluice

[RHG]

  I dont think he has to say it...the left side of his truck speaks for its self!

[pumkin toy]

Springs are a custom front pack made up of stock rears, waggys and a cut chevy leaf.  Rear springs are 63 inch chevies.
I have wanted to do an exo on mine for the longest time.  but now it isn't even worth it.  So its gonna be buggified in a month or two.

[Hyena]

Kinda funny.  In those 2 pics, the only things that are the same are the cab (and everything inside), bed, frame, engine, tranny, front bumper, and rims.  Everything else is different.

[4DEES]

dude I can't believe that damn door still opens! my    is keep the body, looks bad a$$.

[Hyena]

Ya, the damn door opens.  It just doesn't close.  and the outside panel is starting to come off.  I think i need to do something about that before it just falls off.

[TEXXX]

dude I can't believe that damn door still opens! my is keep the body, looks bad a$$.

Hell No its buggy time!

[4DEES]

Hell No its buggy time!

HA-HA-HA, yeah I guess, I have faith in you guys too build a good lookin buggy   

[RHG]

Before you do the buggy though you have to take it out for one last bashing at the 'Con. Give the body a real beating and make sure to take lots of pictures Kinda like a ritual for sending the sheetmetal to a better place. R.I.P.

[crawlerdan]

HA-HA-HA, yeah I guess, I have faith in you guys too build a good lookin buggy   

you should get a prefab body like marlins formula toy, spendy, but oh so nice

[ford_truck79]

Good lookin' rig....I like the flatbed!

[toybuilt]

A buggy would be cool, would have to see the build up on that.

[motorider228]

So its gonna be buggified in a month or two.

I was actually about to ask about when you were going to buggy it, because i read in another thread (one about mcr4) that those were your plans. What are your plans for the buggy?

[Hyena]

Not totally sure yet.  I think we are gonna keep the firewall and dash and work around that.  Keeping the front suspension, frame, and steering.  The back is gonna get a 4 link with coils.  Keeping the stock gas tank and moving it.  The cage design isn't done yet.  It's gonna be a 2 seater.  Keeping both axles because they are built.  I hope to get it done as soon as possible.  But i am going to college and i have to pay a loan back to my parents before anything starts to happen.

[bigman]

good luck with all that hyena hope it turns out the way u want it to

I thought this would look nice.

[Hyena]

That is awsome.  We sould totally build it into that crawler.  You don't see that on the rubicon every day.
