My truck is in your ad

Yup and back when it had bypasses on the front too

stumbled across this today

I bet thats how the cross member got cracked lol

 

yeah dude, it looked rough

 

I don't know how many miles I have looked in my rearview and saw that truck, but it's a lot. It's actually been used, and I'm sure has a few stress fractures here and there. I wish I had more pics of it, but we were too busy wheeling to take pics most of the time.

 

Dont mean to switch subjects but i had a random thought. Does anyone else think that the jacked up 4x4's with giant tires sort of resemble a 80's style roller skate?

 

i remember that... i was there that day....

 

Yeah the driver side has a crack that I have to weld up and on the same side where the secondary shock hoop mounts to the frame its cracked all the way around the weld.

 

just be 2WD, life is so much easier

 

No way man. I like dealing with all the issues that my 4wd brings. And I need to pull the diff to restab my steering shaft a few teeth over from where I did during the diff install. Then my truck will track a little straighter

 

Ok, so i've never owned a GPS and I think this Christmas is the perfect time to get myself one. I've been drooling over Lowrances for a while now. Let me know which one I should get (model) and if there are any good deals in the community I should know about. Im pretty interested in the HDS5 Baja, but isnt there also another model called the Elite?

 

I played with the HDS5 Baja at kartek. To me it seems like a really good unit. Menus are easy to navigate and the screen is really clear and bright. Also you can store a bunch of way points / trails on it and It also can expand the memory. I think you can get that one for $500 even if you can get an order of 2 or more. I can't remember who told me that though.

 

I used these,

But I wish I would have just used dzus to make them easier to remove.

The Baja is nice and everything you need for what we do. If you're going to do a pimp in dash system don't mount it in front of the passenger airbag. I get around pretty good with just my iPhone (for top/ave speed data) and a general idea of where I want to go.

 

i've got the poly perf mounts too

 

i have 6 each side on the inside of the bed and 3 down low on each side. the lower ones mount to metal brackets that are welded to the frame. the bedsides are in place and dont move an inch

 

hows the new rear suspension ride? got any videos yet?
