Alaska BS thread

As a matter of fact i think yes. Why?

Actually i think im gonna buy one of the treks and one kf the jasper off road .

 

Lol. Yea. I have been starting to drive the work truck (2012 Chevy long bed) to/from work if I have jobs scheduled. Otherwise, I'm in the taco when I have an office day. Once we get someone hired, I'll be in the office more. Relief.

 

Just saw you posted in there. I was wondering the same thing about $1 shipping. I want that 36" XT in spot so bad haha.

 

Did you ever get your other bar mounted Mike?

 

Yep. It's on my bumper. Crooked, but there haha. I need to make it level. I made the mistake of making it level to the ground. That's great, but I have the taco lean so it looks crooked on the truck.

 

Haha at least its on there like you said. I wanna do some lighting upgrades. The lame little square lights on my bumper aren't even hooked up. But before bigger lights or any bars I want some retrofits.

 

Yeah retros are sweet. I do want FXrs now haha. But the minis are still a lot better than stock lights.

 

Yeah i've never seen the output from either so i'm not sure what i'd go with. But like you said i've heard even the mini's are waaaay better than stock. Plus i've never owned anything with any kind of even upgraded bulb over stock so i'm sure I would be impressed haha

 

Let me know if you ever wanna do a side by side comparison to your stockers to my retros. That'd be kind of interesting to see.

 

Yeah for sure that'd be pretty neat. Are you planning to upgrade to the fxrs?

 

Possibly. I wanna see what Bens look like first though. If I did it, it probably wouldn't be until the end of the summer or fall. It'd be kind of a waste to do it now as we're gaining so much daylight.

 

Ok finally got the wifi to work so her some pics of the tear down/build of nicks and my truck. First pic is the front completed rear still stock.



Nicks truck on stock shocks sitting on tires cuz his 33s are still mounted on his rims and won't fit.






All finished and buttoned up thanks to nick. Got the lights all hook up after rebuilding a harness from scratch. Now all I need to do is wait for my HIDs and convert them to 55w 5000k

 

Went out tonight here on base and got stuck :/ wasn't there long after I got my hands on some shovels but before then I tried to muscle my way out and ate up my blizzaks in the rear. Gonna have to get two new tires and keep the best of the two ate up ones as a spare since I don't have one haha.

 

Looks sweet! And those blizzaks aren't cheap :O

 

Sounds like you shoulda got a video!

 

Looks like you won't be needing an AAL anytime soon! Looks great John, well done to the both of you. Shoulda called!

 

Niiiiiice!!!

 

Would've called but I'm 5 hrs away hahaha didn't think anyone would be down to pull me out after a five hr drive. Plus it was just snow drift. I wasn't even really off road just on a unplowed and heavily snow drifted road on the back side of the powerplant and didn't see the increase in snow depth until it was too late. Hate I been going maybe 10-15 mph faster I would've made it to the other side of the drift but no good. And yea there not cheap tires that's the sucky part. Spent 1000 shipped for those four. Ohhhh well though not much I can do about it. Ill see how they drive home in a few days and make a decision then. I should be good for the rest of this season at least so I prolly won't worry about tires till next winter.

 

I meant shoulda called so I could come turn wrenches! We would have had that thing apart in no time.
