Wyoming B.S. Thread

yea 4.56s aren't ideal..but idk. Makes it work i guess.

lame.

I missed some damn Camburg UCAs for 350 by minutes..

need to get some for Igor to get my alignment in check.

hahaha

Well...at least you did it

 

It's the first step of letting go. I get so damn attached to these trucks .

 

Yea..probably won't sell Igor anymore either haha hard not too. So much character in them.

What would you do with that?


Besides destroy it trying to make it a long bed

 

Well..

okay.

But you'll end up like me slowly improving it. But if anything. You'll be like me(as it has pretty much the exact same mileage) and end up pouring money into to keep it running.

Then you won't wanna get rid of it ever know it'll last another 180K+ with all the new parts on it haha

 

That's way to much work haha not too bad though.

I do like the double cab though for the longer trips. So i can see the temptation. You'd hate the auto though..i still am looking for a rolled truck to swap an manual in.

Josh is lucky i was gone when that one popped up because i'd have been all over that like fly's on fresh poop lol @shipps

 

i said the same thing..haha and it was..

still is actually. Doubt i'll do much else to it besides maintain it. Very happy with were the truck is.

just want a manual in it and it's perfect.

 

Wheels already have lock lugs on them.

Tent is easy to secure. Just need to do it.

Lights will be harder.

Stock is awesome. I like were Igor is at. Just on the verge of crazy and not quite stock. Rides amazing on the street. Does good offroad(by my standards it barely does) and is capable and fun.

Won't be doing too much besides maintaining.

speaking of which. My lower Heims on the Kings are making noise...might be up for sale sooner then i thought

 

they are just starting to squeak.

Stupid easy fix. Just need to buy two new Heims..done. Take like an hour.

I did just rebuild them, but i skipped that part at the time. was two years ago.
maybe longer..


yea i will deal with the chrome this summer..should get the first part this week maybe.

 

nope. Already driving me crazy and its veeeerrrryyy quiet right now.

Im not puttin up with that shit.

Was hoping i could swing it and be like "whelp..might as well get some ADS ones!" but..i don't have that kind cash haha

 

Yea. What my current next "funds" will be fore. New front diff. Just saving..blew a lot of that money fixing Igor the last month with brakes, front wheel bearings and now rears..

Weird for you i guess as it was the first time. But I have a LOT of dirt miles on Igor now. Not so weird for me.

But EVERY time i hit the dirt in Igor..I go "god damn it, i miss Frank".

Every time.

 

you going to take it to toyota for that?

I know my TB and WP at toyota was $760..was the last time my truck went to a shop until just this last month for the rear brakes..

Its about $1000 for the rear bearings from toyota and $500ish for the fronts..

Or you could buy some tools and all the parts and learn yourself...other then the rears though. You'll need to build a tool for those. but not hard.

I know that is a HUGE HUGE task for you though. May be a bit too much for you to bite off right now.

Knowing what i know now. Frank's bearings will be done in my own shop.

 

But... but... but... its an auto. Your manhood is in jeopardy.

 

Nah fronts are like 300 if you diy

Not sure why the alternator is so pricey..

But yea. Trucks getting old.

You're a masculine women remember?

 

Why are you doing an oem alternator? You can do what Mike and I did for way cheaper and have a bigger alt at the same time.

 

I'm still butthurt about it. I wasn't really sure if i wanted to spend 1k on suspension at the very moment but when he said he'd sell the whole truck for a couple hundred more I was about to be on it like flies on shit but the bastard sold it out from under me. Funny thing is I know the guy that bought it. He won't even sell me the Kings off the rear lol.

 

I saw those and nearly bought them for my brother. Knew I should've messaged him

 

Eh. Reman parts. Still worth it I think.

What a bastard. Both of em! Haha

Yea I just missed them. Oh well.

The light racing ones will be better for Igor anyways.

 

Well I was offered $3,000 for the cruiser already. That's a good sign but hoping to get $3500.

 

Because they were orginally Light Racing..now its SPC Light Racing..They did a rebranding after their very rocky start haha

Well that's not bad. Question is will you let it go at all? haha

 

Evening fellas. Just looking for a little info here. Im getting ready to replace the tires on my truck. My duratracs (275/65/17) have around 40ish% tread left on them. What do you all think would be a reasonable figure to start at for selling them?
