did a thing today... new rack, outer tie rods, bushings... and alignment. second alignment print out. after spending all week wrenching on cars, spending all yesterday wrenching on my womans old car (90 maxima ps pump and water pump), i got a few hours today to get the new rack installed...

*page 2 whoot* just a small update for now but got the sliders welded and painted the other day. hope to do the rack, outter tie rods, bushings, and ps pump wednesday. after that its just a list of small odds and ends and hopefully a good test run is in order. for now, pics of the sliders (4x...

i see i have friends in the bromuda triagle :thumb: honestly im still new to 4 wheel trails, but did dual sport stuff for years. few years back if you knew where to go there was plenty of good trails but around here its all closed off or built on now. there is santiago peak, but its basicly...

im up in murrieta but looking to find a wheeling partner also. ive got a few things to do to the truck before i can really wheel it (powersteering rack and welding sliders mainly) but im not far off, probably 2 weeks. normally im off tuesday wednesday.

did the tires and alignment today. thought i might want to find out how much play the rack bushings alone had and found that its not the inner tie rod that was bad, it was the whole rack. so ill have to do that pretty quick cus now i'm kinda scared to drive it like that. its almost ok cus i...

just finished installing the gas and diff skids. gas tank took a little time as the budbuilt belly skid almost overlaps the lilskips gas tank skid, the budbuilt rear diff skid was straight forward. ill snap some pictures tomorrow when i have it up on a rack.

i would ask but i looked at your build thread out of curiosity, sad to see im not the first sailor on this boat. even just looking at the shape and size of the window, i bet it was a pretty penny. i got a quote today, 120 bucks and hes going to do it tomorrow, going to start looking into local...

not the update i was looking for... truck got broken into over the last two nights (drove the car the last two days). bandits only took a brand new stream light. i would have given them it to not break the window. calling a glass guy tomorrow to see what the damage will be, another stream...

little update, some good some bad. had a busy few days off but got the trans cooler mounted at least. today on my lunch i ran the lines, topped her off after work and took her for a spin. thankfully the trans temp is down quite a bit. max i saw on a 15 minute test drive with a little dirt...

sorry for the delay on the broadcast but were back now. wednesday was her first real day hitting the dirt, did pretty good even with bald ass rugged trails. few things of note. coolant temp/ trans temp was higher the i would have liked (coolant was around 210, while at time the trans would...

after a few years saving dough, the time has come with and already we have ups and downs. lets get you all up to speed. so after scrolling craigslist for a while, i thought i had finally found the one. pics made it look clean, had everything i wanted, high miles but for its age it looks ok...
