The little 2TR that could...

sounds good man.

 

Is there any good spots on base? Im free tomorrow if want to hit up stoddard wells, lmk

 

I'm actually at Ft. Bliss right now for WLC. Won't be back until later this month. On that note I have a legit build update. Just ordered a set of 4.56 Nitro gears and a master rebuild kit. Shits gettin done right!

 

4 banger is the way to go

 

I had to make a move man. The rear end was starting to clink hard before I left for bliss. Also considering taking the dive and getting some 33x12.5 so I can have an excuse to buy rear glass then get the whole truck painted.

 

On base is a little sketchy cause the tank trails are considered a range area. I usually go down to the dry lake bed just past the tanks. There's good exploring, and in the bed itself is greqt to get your high speed fix.

 

It will take a bit of time. I just looked on Glassworks for the bedsides, and turns out they have a glass hood for the second gens now. When i get back to cali I'm gonna shop for a used set of 305/70's maybe 305/75. I can get in on a brand new set of A/T 2's for under a grand, but I need to devote some cash to the 88 to get it fully functional....every bit of 100 bucks

 

Gears and rebuild kit have arrived to Fort Irwin. Nine more days of this bull shit, and it will be time to pull out the third member...again.

 

In due time my friend you'll have it done. Rear glass, 33's, paint, and supercharger and this truck will be done. I still say you should start with front/rear gears, and just a full time rear locker IMHO.

 

WLC in Bliss is pretty shitty. Are they still marching like 10 miles to class everyday? I went in 07

 

Yup. We march to the academy everyday. It has become very institutionalized, and with that we rarely get treated like soldiers. If it is one thing I will take from this place it will be to never make a troop do anything i won't do myself.

 

do you have your phone matt? texted you a couple times.

 

if you did today I haven't gotten them. My phone doesn't leave my pocket except for days like today where I took a test this morning. I'm headed back upstairs meow, so I will check it. P.S. As I've been stating before, this place is bull shit, so I have yet to get time to call Jesse at GA. Sorry man.

 

nice lookin truck! thanks for defending the greatest country in da world

 

Thanks for checking out my build man. Slowly but surely it will be finished, and fully mechanically sound.

I just got back on post last night (side note: good to be back using my laptop) and picked up my mail. The Nitro gears look pretty stout. Sometime today I'm gonna pull the third member, and IF I'm lucky get it down to Pro Dirt in Barstow for them to put everything together. I can't wait to put this whole gearing business to bed.

 

speaking of gears...

 

Yes sir, but of course. Got the day off today, so I got you

 

Update. Dropped the third member off at Pro Dirt today. I'll be picking that up on Friday, and then a set of 33's next week.

 

So I had to compromise on tires





















































Not happy.
