Here is the link to what i have now I still have a bunch of work to do before i start the actual build.
1998 ext cab SR5 stock everything. I am gonna hopefully run the 34x10.50 LTBs that are on the explorer in the build thread but not sure what i gotta do to run that size tire.

 

$400 a good deal for new OME springs?

 

Look em up on wheelers offroad

 

Think I scored a front hidden hitch from a local guy.

So ready for summer, snow was fun, but fuck this never ending cold weather shit. Let's party!

 

stopped in the middle of the intersection for colors. Guess the white lines will protect him from getting ran over.

 

If your skipping a plate bumper I'll sell you my color matched 2012+ front bumper cover in a week or two

 

I'm gonna stick with the 2011 cover. I'll eventually get a bumpa, but for now the hitch job will do what I need for the summer.

Waiting for the fridge to get here so I can test fit all am shit.

Probably going to go ahead and throw those 700lb coils on my icons since I'll have about 65lbs hanging off the front of my rig.

 

Yeah, found some new ones at $350ish online. I went back to the guy with a $300 offer and he wont go below $350 saying "you dont have to pay shipping." I dont know, I dont think Ill pay more than $300...

 

Honestly I hated my Dakars. Expos all day long.

 

Think I'm gonna go to PA the week before, so no go for me.

 

i love my dakars

 

I've got some built up vacation time so I may take off on Wed an take a whole 5 days down there.

 

Do you need a permit for Portsmouth Island?

I plan on buying one this year again anyways, but don't want to spend the $10 and shipping convienance fees or whatever NPS tacks on for mailing you one.

 

No permit needed for Portsmouth. I may break down and get one for Hatteras just so I can enjoy the summer, but I maintain my position of FUCK the NPS and Audobon Society, a plague of rage virus gonorrhea on their families!

Plan if I leave early is to go down to Corolla on Wed morning, get to Hatteras Ferry by late Wed night, then hop over to Ocracoke and stealth camp somewhere.

Thursday I'd wheel and fish on Ocracoke and then stay at one of the private campgrounds on the island before hopping down to southern shores/cherry point Friday and meeting up with you guys at the ferry Friday night or Saturday morning. Then spend the weekend on Portsmouth Island.

 

Ha, that's what I did too.

 

Nice! Those look great!
