Southern01Taco's build

luckily my step dad had this a couple of the .50 cans but i've never seen another artillery anywhere. i just wish they were watertight like the .50 cans

 

My rails came in yesterday but I'm going to have to wait till next weekend to put them on.



I also got some lights in. I'm going to use them for rock lights and whereeverelseicanstickthem lights lol. Each bag has 20 lights and I bought 3 bags, so I have alot of wiring to do .

 

Oh ok. I have a .50 cal can behind my seat as a tool box. Yea I agree. I'm trying to figure out a way to stick something to the lid to maybe make it water resistant, at least.

 

don't forget to patch the holes in the bottom walls too. a bead of silicone around the lid would fix it if your lid isn't warped

 

I might have to try that first. I'm pretty sure the lid is straight. It seems to shut nice. And yea I forgot about those holes. I'll just silicone those up also.

 

Went wheeling this past weekend. I had a great time. Here are some pics of my truck.

























































I got to use the powertank and I must say that I love that thing.











I did the body damage mod while I was there.





I also put my tie down rails on when I made it back home.





And a couple random pics of the truck sitting out in the rain getting a free bath.





Edit: I forgot, I uploaded a gopro video. I have a couple more but it takes forever to upload. So I'll try to get them up later.

Just acquired this, this evening.



I've got a few things to order for it before I can put it on. I also am going to order a timing belt kit. And while I'm doing the timing belt I'm going to do an e-fan, since I have to remove the clutch fan anyway.

 

This is awesome!

 

Yea I know. I can't wait to get it bolted on.

 

It'd gonna make Flat Rock that much easier

 

Yea, that and hitting the rev limiter and breaking axles lol. Its gonna be awesome .

 

Hell yeh!

 

I almost have everything I need for the blower install. I can't wait to get this thing installed.

 

just curious do you have any intentions of bobbing the bed?

 

As of right now, no, but that might change later on down the road.

 

You have any plans to go to Hawk Pride for Mardi Krawl?

 

that dent you got in the very back of the bed, i got that 3 times before i decided i was going to bob it. i also go sick of not being able to climb steep hills.
though you could always add side hoops like this. haha you can slightly see the dent there too

 

I don't know. When is it? I haven't checked into mud in a while.

Yea if I hit it again then I might go that route but I figured I would try to hold off from doing any major body mods until after I sas it.

 

Small Update:

Changed my sparkplugs to some Denso iridiums. I had to do it for the supercharger so I went ahead and got that out of the way. I also cleaned up the blower and changed the oil in it. I still need to put on a few coats of paint because it is still rough looking even after cleaning it. One more weekend of hunting season, then if everything goes like I want it to, I'll be installing the blower.

I ordered some new rack and pinion bushings and some new bushings for the lower mount on my coilovers because I have developed a hellacious squeak in the passenger side somewhere and those are the two things that I know need changing anyway. My next guess is going to be control arm bushings but I would rather not have to change those if I can get away with it. I also read that it could possibly be in one of the balljoints. I'll change every bushing and balljoint on the front, if it comes down to it lol. The squeak is so bad, it embarrasses me to drive the truck anywhere.
