[tacoabuse]

couple hundy, it was on the truck when i bought it.

[88 orange runner]

[tacoabuse]

it doubles as a play structure for my kid.

[88 orange runner]

ya im sure it does haha tht thing looks indistructible

[tacoabuse]

driveshaft wasn't indestructable though.

[88_Pathy]

Sweet truck.  That guy was super nice that owned it before, he lived down the street.  I wheeled with him a few times.  Have fun and wheel the crap out of it.

[tacoabuse]

Thanks, truck is cool, I bought it from some fat f*g named erik newlander in fresno. I doubt that is who you are talking about? I had smog issues with the truck, contacted him about it, he changed his # and email. True story.

[88 orange runner]

damn when did that happen to the driveshaft

[tacoabuse]

2 weeks ago at the hammers. Got that one rebuilt and ordered another heavy duty one from Marlin. Almost ready to go out there again soon.

[88 orange runner]

oh nice man, how did the truck do out there before the driveshaft broke

[tacoabuse]

I didn't get 2 wheel much before it broke. I took it over to back door at about 2 a.m. the night before, then I was on my way to outer limits when the drive shaft deal happened. The week before I had just rebuilt the front end and installed detroit locker in the front, I knew I was on thin ice with only 1 already damaged rear drive shaft. I'll be out there at least once a month starting next month. I love that place, just need to be better prepared.

[gnarrkill]

I thought you guys were running Sledge    . Looks like you guys are on Jack , I got a text from Tim saying you guys were going to run Sledge . I would've like to have gone but I didn't get the text till the next morning     

[tacoabuse]

we ran jack, then went over wrecking ball, got half way up and jaya pinched a hardline brake line, then i ripped out rear diff plug. And we limped on back to camp. gotta love the hammers 

[81yotalove]
