SilverGhost Rises

I'm going to have to find them after I get the rear done. But it's been real fun driving it around with the new 6 in it.

 

any smokey burnouts yet?

 

I did go out to a dirt track to test out the 4wd. It was pretty slick and muddy. I ended up washing the truck twice that day.

 

So the question is what's next on the build..... I need to finish the tundra axle truss and get it ready to install. Plus I've been doing some thinking and I've decided to rebuild the bed cage and weld it directly to the frame. The truck rattles more and has a lot of vibes so I'm going to make the bed cage more solid. I'm going to cut more of the bed out to for the new cage. It all looks like it will work out better and look cleaner then the mounts I have now. Plus I'm going to add some mounts to the cage for some extra stuff I'll need. But these projects are what's next. Back to cardboard and PVC.

 

Manilla folders work awesome for templates too!

 

@ToyTec Lifts that is a very cool shot.

 

So I decided I'm going to go with the 305 70 16 Cooper stt pros. I'll most likely get them later in the yr.

 

Consider getting them siped if you're planning on running them year round. Mud terrains are worthless in the packed snow and ice.

 

My Rad license plates came in today.

 

@thefatkid I'm going to replace the passenger side diff seal and putting a new clip on the CV this weekend. Any tips while replacing the seal?

 

There not worthless. They help you hone your driving skillz.

I changed out the clip on the cv and put a new seal on the diff. The CV did have a lot of play in it. It sits in the diff so much better now. It only wiggles in and out just a tad. So far no leaks. I still need to take it out to the race track and test the 4x4. No pics guys I was in a hurry. But i'm pretty sure you guys seen plenty of pics of this truck apart.

 

I didn't take pics when I changed mine either.

 

About that hot tub in the back. Do you think I would sag a lot running F67's and a 6 person hot tub? Thinking maybe just a 4 person instead.....

 

From what I herd. The F67 pack is a good pack but they end up sagging quick. A lot of the guys that have them like them but switch to the H70/E30. Or even a 50T I believe that's what it's called. I forgot who sells them. But what I understood is if your only running one spare and not to much in the bed F67 are great but a dual spare and fuel cell and junk. The beefier pack is better.

 

10-4 I got a set of H70 in the garage. I just need the hot tub now.
Your build is looking good.

 

Hey buddy. Great to meet you too! Loved touching base with things and bouncing ideas. Got those damn axles off today thanks to your advice. Used the spare tire and they came right off. $200 core charge. Woot!
