Nick's 4x4 Long travel build

did mah wheel spacers n gussets last weekend, i never thought it would be so complicated just to get the damn spindle off... lol

 

BUILD PROGRESS!!:



got the tire off and getting ready to gusset some spindles


My truck as an Aquatic vehicle



finished



i will have some pictures of the finished spindles a little later, if anyone cares lol

 

you didnt have to take off the rotors. anthony and i just popped the UCA bolt off the spindle and went at it. but seems to me like you got it covered.

 

sweettt!!! i like your truck dude

 

sank you vedy muchh haha

 

aw damn..

 

about to shoot myself in class bump..

 

ehhh no biggie

I like the new sig!

 

thanks man haha, i told my friend to film it so that i could see if all the tires come up and i guess he was too excited. Im gonna try to get a better camera next time and a better filmer

 

At least you have footage I've got nothing. My buddies can't work a camera at all

 

lol gotta get a tripod out there, or a gopro, im trying to talk one of my buddies in to going halfsies on one with. im broke as fuck.

 

As I would a expect a 18 yo building a truck. I've put thousands into the truck including the 30 grand I paid for it

You should come out to pismo I've got a gopro and some decent cameras.

 

Haha yeah i dont wanna think about it lol, im down for some sand, just waiting on a few more things to come in, i have a spare on the way, makes me feel a little more comfortable when im mobbin around

 

I can't drive around without a spare it bugs me too much.

 

On the street i dgaf but when im off road it is definitely in the back of my mind. Hows your LT kit comin along?

 

Well my OG kit it holding up fine I tore it down re-painted and swapped uni-balls yesterday and not a single crack or bend

The 2.0 kit has been on hold cause all of my funds going towards my new house but after I get back on the positive cash flow it shouldn't take me long

 

Sweeet haha so how did you go about making your OG kit? I cant even think about where to start, that shit is so interesting to me.

 

First line up a ride to work cause you wont be driving for a while. Then get some tube to mock up your future suspension followed by some cardboard

then this

Props to you man, its so easy to go out and buy a kit but it would be so badass to make your own haha, nice work. Maybe someday ill try it but right now my truck is my only form of transportation lol im trying to buy a honda scooter lol ive seen some sick ass ones that are crazy modded

 

Well at least your dad seemed ready to help you I don't think I've seen my dad hold a wrench unless he was using it to open a beer lol
