Thanks yall. I put some work in that thing. The sticker was made a a local decal shop where i used to live. they allso did the FULL-TIME 4X4 stickers on the bed.

Nice looking truck. how long did it take you to get it there.

 

[ProjectM880]

I got the truck not running for $500 bucks september of 2002 so it took a year. But the truck will never be done, yall know how that goes. I did add some more pictures one picture is what happens when your friend sall have spray paint when your not around and the other is the truck in the shed right aft paint it.

The original 2 barrel decided to lose all the gasket and piss gas everwhere so in stead of rebuilding it i put a holley 650 and 360 intake manifold on it. It made a world of differnce. ill try to post a new pic of this weekend i tried my best to flex the heavy duty suspension. So yall can look at the new pic from the link above.

 

[ProjectM880]

what do yall think of the flex pics. i know its not the greatest but pretty damn good for 6HD leaf 1900lbs springs in the front and 1 1/4 ton rear springs.

[Sam Simpson]

I saw the pics, the site is back up. Looks good, you diffenetely need to come to the San Antonio Meet Dec 13, it will be a blast!

COME TO THE DEN

 

[ProjectM880]

I would love to come to the meet in san antonio. But as you can tell from the picture i have street rated towing tires on the truck. i don't have any mud or all terrian tires right now and the truck isn't street legal i would have to tow it. So until i can get some meaty tire or some thing at least with tred im really limited on where i can wheel. im going to do the RCC front hangers and shackle this christmas and was thinking of getting hummer tires 36" on 16.5. Has any one used these tire and how to they do on trails and mud?

 

[ProjectM880]

well this weekend i just blew up my front drive shaft so im stuck in 2wd for a while. Thats what happens when your hauling a$$ up hill and the front u joint lets go and the drive shaft plow right into the ground.

 

[Sam Simpson]

The den is easy, our first trip there I had bald 33's and had no problem. There is an easy go around on all tough areas.

I have the hummer tires, place in Houston sells them for 39 bucks a pop. They actually perform better then I thought, I was expecting them to suck since I am use to swampers and ground hawgs. But they did pretty well, my only gripe is they aren't wide enough for me. If they were I would keep them, but I will be moving to a bigger/wider tire eventually.
