New shop? or just a loaner?

Why the dana 30?

oldbeercans · Aug 21, 2009

no its my dads shop, more room, better tools. the dana30 was for the sand drags. its in the middle of being converted to 1/4 mile drags.

tube looks good if it were me i would run an X behind the cab to the frame

oldbeercans · Aug 21, 2009

im still trying to figure out how i want to do that. because of how my bed is its hard to get at the frame right there

oldbeercans · Aug 29, 2009

i havent been on here for a while. my son landon brody osborn was born oct. 5 so i have been busy. but the cage is done and painted, all the wiring is pretty much done, air system is up and going and i switched to a hard line set up for the air. we will see how that works out. it is simular to the arb line except that it is 3/8 instead of tiny. i finaly have head lights again. anyone that has spent any time around my shop will know what im talking about. now i am waiting on a desicion with myself on what springs to use in the front or to just link it front and rear. i am leaning towards just some marlin or trailgear springs caus i plan on building some thing with a small block, atlas, 1tons axles, a linked suspension, and alot of tube. but that will come later so for now i have my capable, reliable toyota. ill post some pics soon

oldbeercans · Oct 12, 2009

Save yourself work? Didnt you already killa cab with an internal?

I have 4 trucks on the property with exos. I was just givin you ****. You a little slow today or what?

I mentioned the exo thing along time ago when I was picking theat old chevy hick truck up from your place. You said you didnt like them and they were ugly then. I just looked at you with the "your gonna kill your cab for no reason" look.

It looks good. Amazingly enough it looks exactly like my roomates cage in the front. exactly the same.:beer:
