Valon's 01 turd

You said you had installed some after market seats? Could you show a picture of them? Was curious to see which ones you selected...I have a 2k2 Access Cab myself I am thinking of replacing the seats in as well.

 

Thank you. I don't have any pics of the seats I'll take some next time i have my camera out. I didn't actually instal them, they were in the truck when I bought it. lucky me. They are Corbeau LG1's. I freekin love these seats. unfortunately my drivers one is pretty thrashed. I just got a seat cover for it to get by. Nice thing with corbeau is they sell re upholstery kits and the individual pieces of foam. Just need the money to blow on that and someone who can do upholstery.

Mine are the grey black suede...pricey bastards 479 each. Then you have to get a new seat mounting bracket...another 105 per seat. But damn are they amazing seats. I like them for everything i do in my truck, long distance driving, wheeling, sleeping, even sex

 

Well first off I must say, DAMN that is the cleanest and most organized my bed has been in a while



Always like the look of it without my big ass tool box in it...but what are ya gonna do? I like being the most prepared person around.



And how it looks ready to hit the trail at a moments notice ...well kinda. I don't carry my spare parts with my usually. Just tools

 

Build me some armor and complete your quest to make your truck look like mine



jk of course.

 

Lovin the looks of the paint job. But what the hell is up with the All-Pro stickers - do you even own anything from them? I thought it was All-Pearson haha

 

the paint job came out looking good!

 

Haha but mine will be the redneck version of yours.

I wish it was all pearson, nice one by the way. But I can't fabricate suspension. So it is all AllPoo, coilovers and leafs.

Thank you

 

Went searching for a decent firewood cutting area today but that was a horrible fail. So it was basically a trail running day. Saw some nice sights. Only used 4x4 twice on some little steep climbs. Also got brake pads today, gotta do my rears soon.







And poser shots.

 

Sick views where'd ya head out to?

 

Hoadley peaks rd. It's out past Whiskey town lake, maybe another ten miles. It is all BLM and SPI land. It was a nice ride, smooth road

 

What happened to the lower sides of the bed? did you cut them off? just wondering.

 

you would be correct

 

Got my 4.88 geared front clamshell today




Now I just need to be able to afford the rear...and a aussie for the front...This thing is going to taunt me every minute of every day till I get all my shit together

 

Sweet build!

<--subbed

 

Thank you. It;s just the average crawling IFS build for now. But some day it'll be a SAS build just need a really good job

 

Maybe that's why I like it. I'm in the exact same boat!

 

Pics from today

 

Hey so I've been seriously thinking about this for a long time now. Sound like a good summer project and for you to make some extra cash?

I want to flatbed my truck. It will provide better clearance on bottom and sides, shorten the length of the bed, be more durable, etc. And I would have it have a location for a spare, hi-lift, and maybe even incorporate my toolbox or get a smaller one to fit better. I want to keep it pretty simple.

Probably use the same square tubing for the majority of it and use diamond plate for coverage to hide the undercarriage and around the wheel-wells. And then we will need to figure out rear lights also.

We will talk about it more and get the specific details of what I want later if this sounds like something you would want to do. And like I said, I will definitely pay you and I will have more time so I can help with it too. I've always really liked the looks of these and think it would make mine look sick!

Here are some examples I found - probably incorporate a few different ideas from each of these or some of these or something like that:

 

Sounds good to me. I'll do some research over the week. Then like you said we'll talk more about it. I am thinking we could do something that will be unique and bad ass

 

And I'm assuming you're gonna want to chop it back to the shackle hangers too right?
