Finally getting close to finishing my truck up and got to take her out for a shake down in Mnt city this past weekend. Everything worked great and i was very pleased with everything especially the crawl bow and the low range that the truck had! Here are a few pics from last weekend:
this one may stay around a while..I picked it up friday night late, it now has a 5.29'd welded rear diff, a Budbuilt 3/8 wall tie rod, and front hi-pinion elocked 5.29 third stolen form another project goin in it later this week. Got a cage already coming too.
I traded my SAS'd 4Runner yesterday and broguht homw with me a 1994 Land Cruiser. It has factory lockers and a 3 inch lift. Got to make a rear bumper for it and clean it up. But it is a tank. The wife even likes it.
Picked up this truck in Novemberish of last year...
She pretty much looks the same as when I got her.
I put in a new Marlin HD clutch, the wheel bearings were shot when I got it and destroyed a hub, I got a good deal on some Warn hubs, rebuilt both knuckles and fixed a couple of other things here and there... The motor started pissing oil, I tore it down and replaced the timing cover and headgasket. The pistons looked beat all to hell, so I had the ol 22r rebuilt. The block was shot so I have a new one, bored 20 over, new everything and rebuilt head with new everything inside of it, had the flywheel cleaned up and now I just have to put it back in...
Got some rust to fix, and hopefully a set of tons will be in the near future.
x2 on the pile... Greenwood, close to the Gulches? How is it there? Got an FJ40 myself and my Dad lives about 5 miles from there. Might make a trip there this summer.
Ah, my first truck. Setting in my old shop collecting dust right now (thrown rod in engine 5 years ago). I'll get around to fixing it one of these days thou.
