Green01's Build

Hey guys, its about time that i start to put together a build page. I got the truck end of 09' and have been slowly adding, changing, and building it up. It came with 130,000 miles and i paid $7000 for it, it was previously owned by a hair dresser.
I started with changing the oil, transmission fluid, both differential fluids and recharging the ac unit. Next i bought a set of ventvisors and a hood visor. Over the past few months i have bought a welders and built a few new projects. Started with a low profile back rack to hold my bikes and a set of lights. Then i moved onto building a front bull bar which took me a few weeks to complete. Now im working on a full set of sliders. Everything has been made out of 1.5 inch square steel tubing.
I have taken the truck off road a bunch of times, she loves the mud and have yet to get stuck. My next purchase will be a 3 inch lift and a set of new rubber.


Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think. Eric

Hi Eric,
Nice meeting you today. I wish I had more time to check out your truck (and everybody else's) today. We'll do it again sometime. Good job on your build and the stickers too!

 

Care to explain more about the grinding accident? On a side note nice truck!

muddy aftermath

 

the grinding accident was pretty simple. i went to switch hands on the grinder and my finger got a little caught up in the wheel. all happened pretty quick, always wear gloves and take my time with the grinder now. it was a pretty cool scar, cut now my fingernail has grown back

 

Eric,
Great to meet you and thank you for the stickers today, awesome job. Look forward to seeing those sliders and meeting up at the next meet!

Thanks for the stickers Eric. Nice talking to you.

Oh okay well at least it grew back, and you learned from your mistake hah.

 

Sweet build man. I like the custom bull bar up front, it looks better than the one i have. I wish i had a welder, and knew how to weld. How did you learn to weld.

O and Welcome to TW!!

 

Ya, that bull bar is sweet!
Nice pics Eric and it was nice meeting you and talking with you yesterday.
I need to find a place to play in the mud a little!
Thanks again for the stickers!
