YumaTRD's Build

I had the Bilstein 5100 with the front set at 2.5" of lift. It was the most economical lift I could afford because I had just started at ASU. If you're two wheel drive, then I would recommend spindles over coilovers since the ride quality will remain the same while getting 4" of lift which look good on the long beds

 

Updated first post with new project

 

Holy hell I thought I had overheard you sold your truck and was like....nah!! Damn dude I guess I cant be too upset since that new lil guy looks beast! Guess ill have to stay tuned

 

Nice new rig David, bring it on out to Superstition to play!

 

It will be slow but at least something I can throw money at.

Hell yeah! Time to break her in

 

Dude! Hell yeah! Super nice rig man. That didn't take long at all

 

Bad ass rig. Subbed

 

Sub'd

 

Sooo, about a month ago. April 12th to be exact, I ended up rolling my truck on a camping trip down in Mexico.
I was going in reverse, down a hill, hit a bush that twisted the steering and then began to barrel roll.
My GF and I were both fine other than a bruised hand.
The truck landed on it side. Other people came to help out and we flipped it back by hand.
The truck started right up and we drove back to camp. We towed it back home and now I have a new project.





The roll bar on the flatbed save us and took most of the beating.

 

Lately I've been contemplating going with an exo cage and tube doors.
The truck has been in AZ while im in Califonia so I havent had too much time to do more work on it.

 

This weekend, the new cab is going ON!

Here is the progress ive done in the last couple of weeks


Bought a cab on craigslist. Sun roof upgrade


Prepped the new cab



Removed the old cab



Did some engine maintinace while it was easy to work on. Removed the A/C system and other SMOG components

 

Built a rear tire carrier incorporated to the flat bed.




I've been driving around town making sure everything is running properly. Should be ready for a trail run soon.

 

I don't know why I wasn't subd before.

 

Looking good! Maybe you can make our Dragoons trip in October!!

 

I'll keep an eye on it. I still need to put more miles on this thing before I make longer roadtrips. Im looking at trip to Ocotillo wells in a couple of weeks.

 

Nice truck. I have an '84 so I'll be watching your build thread looking for ideas!

 

I havent updated this thread in a while.

I added a different bumper more lighting to the truck.
Took it out to Ocotillo wells and superstion a couple of times as well.







Went to Tierra del Sol with the TW Guys and eneded up bending the two pasanger side rims.



Decided to buy 5 matching flat black steelies

 

Been working on the proper cycling as I blew a shock in the rear.







Making room for These babies that are currently getting rebuilt at Down South Motorsports!

 

Sub'd ready to see the new setup!

 

Good stuff!
