My 84 extra cab is gone. Tacoma build now.

[THK Matt]

damn man, you took on a big project on a budget.... oh well slow and steady... that thing will be pimp!

[Hyena]

thought i could sell my yota axles and then buy most of the big stuff at first, then work off the little stuff later.  I was wrong! lol

nothing ever works out as planned. thats the pleasure of custom work.

[Doof]

what did you get with the axle money?

[Hyena]

front and rear axles, gears, spools, link parts and an air compressor.  also 2 new tires for my ford.  not sure what else.

[Doof]

that a good list right there

[Hyena]

ya i blew it pretty fast.

[Doof]

when you build a rig, its pretty easy to blow 2 g's in a few minutes if you have the ready to go

[kiyul4130]

yep gunna blow like $3500 in 5 seconds...

[kiyul4130]

yep, runnin out of money. i blew that fast. didnt go very far lol! time to sell some .

[kiyul4130]

no, i have the two biggest thing to buy, coil overs and front axle shafts.  not to mention longfield u-joints, rotors, hubs, calipers and brackets.

dude, DONT buy shafts. make it to the round up. callens been flogging his 60 with stock shafts on 42s and its been fine. i know you dont want to short cut it but wheel it then get some shafts afterwords. make it to the round up this year, its going to be floppin' sick! those shafts will laugh at your 40s for awhile.

[Doof]

he does state a good point

60 stock shafts will hold up to DDDD's for one run

[kiyul4130]

.........many runs brad...flopp. lets wheel.

[toybuilt]

60's are so cool 8)

[Hyena]

no, i would have to buy new u-joint for the shafts anyway since the ones i have are crap.  i have seen a front stock 60 snap pretty easily with 40's before, i know callens been running his pretty hard but i just don't trust them.  and either way i won't make it to the round-up with this truck, shocks aren't going to be present for awhile either.

[Doof]

o well... the shake down run is going to be sick as

[norcal-kid]

hey brad... just wait...

[kiyul4130]

 

[MiniSimp]

[Hyena]

[Doof]

I just watched that again last nite.

[Hyena]

[4DEES]

spent way too much money this weekend on alcohol and girls.

Girls?? 

[kiyul4130]

spent way too much money this weekend on alcohol and girls.

tell me about it. its so easy to do.

[Hyena]

and no i didn't spend money on strippers!

[Doof]

strippers are last year... this year its the hookers

you dont pay a hooker for sex, you pay the hooker the leave after the sex... its a pimp decision.

The start of my diff cover.

just going back a ways in your build. i liked how you did your cover. i wanted to break it like the way you did but just did the mohawk instead down the front where the ring gear would be and then based everything else off that. they look the same all welded/grinded. i still have all my templates that are clean. i was thinking of doing a passing it along thing online for making covers. just a thought, anyways......

[gotrocks]

I wouldn't mind having a copy of the design.  I might built one someday.

[Hyena]

they are super easy to build.  the problem is getting them to stay flat.  mine warped a little since i welded it inside and out also.   before i put it on i had it machined flat.  yours turned out pretty good kiyul!
