Trying to build my first rig and do it rite!
« on: May 13, 2013, 11:01:06 PM »
I just got an 87 Pickup for free from a buddy to start building a rig! STOKED! Im currently broke but in two months im going to go commercial fishing in AK and make some dough for the rig because she needs some love....Marlin Love :turtle:
I already swapped out the IFS with a 85 Front Axle, It Needs a new motor so that's the first thing I need to figure out so I need to do some research on the best deal on a rebuilt 22re.
I was told from the guy that gave me the truck said to do it rite once and get the Marlin Dual T-Case setup, and Tube her up before I do any cab damage and its all a waiste of time and money.
Cant wait until I get her running!! :driving:
Looking for any advice for a good Daily driver for Fordyce and the Sierras
Cheers
Tyler
