This is funny.
Angelfly, there ain't no turning back now. So what do you have planned for the hood/fenders?
Believe me at first i was kinda questioning myself like do i really want to do this. . . . Fawk ya i do! I am not going to run any fenders on it, just a hood that will cover out to the bars. I got the battery and all the electrical we done and remounted. Dove it up the street last night:cheer: Its amazing how much more i can see up front
Well the front it all buttoned up looks pretty good in my opinion to I wrapped and seal all my wiring with boat wiring wrap(waterproof) and moved all the essential eltrical pieces more centered to be away from the water. Cut the hood last night turned out way better in the end then i thought.
Next is:
Shorten wheelbase (113)
4link rear
42's
Get some Headlights
front locker
rebuild C6

I think it would look cool with the stock headlight buckets and grill narrowed too. Just cut the middle out of it. Nice work on the hood.
Actually its usually in the garage but to be honest there is only one family that minds it all the rest of the families either have kids who play on my truck or in my front yard with my dog almost everyday along with 2 husbands up the street that for some reason think its absolutly amazing that I did that to my truck. . .
We are moving thank god t-minus 22 days and counting!!

Really there is no point to be honest its a fullsize in the PNW its gonna get beat its gonna get dented the lest sheetmetal i have the better. As far as looking good and cool i gave up on that awhile ago. . . its just purpose built now. I picked the truck up for $1300 and have probably spent another $7,000 getting it to this point and i have a good nother $7,000 to go before its close to being reliable.
Right now I only care about 2 big things for my rig Reliability and Safetly I will make it look good once it dries out again and traction becomes a more common thing!!!
Anyways I'm only 19 the have only had to deal with me working on cars and trucks for the past 4yrs at my own house. . . and my first rig was a 98 civic lol:looser: Then I had a 2wd 90f150 then i got the jepp then f250 then ranger the jeep is gone for the winter, civic blew up and died, 2wd f150 sold to a mexican landscaping crew its all sortsd of crome out now:eeek: , and you all have seen the 250 and the ranger and jeep is waiting on my 502 to be done getting built
So its not like some people on here that have lived at there house for 20+ yrs and there neighbors wont even talk to them because of there rigs. :stirpot: It is a very nice neighborhood i got house next to me forsale and a few more in the rest of the neighborhood all going for $610,000+ U sure you dont want to move closer to reiter:fawkdancesmiley:
So do you trailer that thing or what? Also is that a trail beater or a mud pounder? Been thinking of doing the same thing but im very lazy and have alot of projects.. I would also for the rear suspenion if your not going to link it, throw in a Sky shackle flip its pretty cheap and does the trick.. Easy block remover for sure.. I would also like to see the front grill on that any plans for it?
Of course i trailer it. . . It is a trail beater i fawking hate mud! The rear is getting linked and if u check previous post u will see it already has a home done shackle flip i just never pulled out the blocks. . . no since cause it isnt going beating till its linked
No way if fawk would i spend time making a grill fit on there! Its a fawking full size in the PNW its gonna see many trees, rock, and stumps hence the dovetail. . . why would i waste time making a custom grill to go destroy it???? It doesnt have to be beautifull just has to work:awesomework:
Well I just think it would be pretty sweet.. I understand the whole small trails big rig thing I have wheel fullsize most of my life.. I have 2 79 bronco's im going to make one out of and was thinking of doing something like what you did but a little diffrent.. Either way get that thing down some trails and lets see some pics.. :fawkdancesmiley:
Alright update here. . . I'm 99% sure I'm parting this pig out and getting a yota. . . well i was up untill i just went through this whole build thread again, god I love this truck
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
I hit a real ruff patch in life in the past few months to be completly honest, got invovled with some bad people and then drugs followed that. . . i decided enuff was enuff and checked myself into rehab. . . I'm doing a whole lot better and just want to get back wheeling and wrenching!!!!
Anybody have any suggestion??? The tranny in this pig is toast . . . What would u guys do???

Put A Tranny In It And Wheel It Till Thers Nothin Left. what tranny? c-6? i could probably get you one for cheap
Yeah C6. . . How much is cheap??? and I am for sure keeping this thing i figured it all out in my head today the fawking thing is gonna have a 109in wheelbase next weekend
Then is all I will need to do is get new u-bolts for the rear to take out the death blocks, buy a new outer stub shaft along with a few others for spares, and either weld or buy a lockright for the front axle, and in the next few months, dana 60 front, hydro steering, and 42in iroks:awesomework:Dude Don't get discuraged you have already done all the Hard work.

Ya know I just really dont like mud. I love rock crawling, and just being in technical trials and situations where is u just stand on the throttle you are screwed! I know it sounds rediculous to think a fullsize rockcrawlin, but I am buying to towrig in the next 2 weeks to be able to drag this thing out every weekend.
My buddy only live like and hour and a half from the moon rocks, I want to so badly start heading up there and crawlin.
It looks like I might have found a good deal on some 42's and a front 60, but we will see if dude actually comes through:looser:
I'm starting today to shorten my wheelbase (109in) I'm trying to make it legal for Elbe even tho I will never take my beast there with the fullsize body on it. . . . . . I just want to be within Washingtons rules for ORV parks so I have the option to always go show somebody what a well setup fawking badass fullsize can do!!!!!:awesomework:
I got some updates pics to load up to!!!!!!:redneck:
