Cody's 2002 build "The Tank"

Nice!

 

Trying to get back in the swing of things.. life just seems to keep knocking me on my ass. Slowly moving forward..

Got the LED bar painted yesterday since it had faded pretty bad. Also took out almost all the wiring to anything I have done as I was trying to track down a wiring issue that was causing my gauges to stay full illuminated. Turns out my rheostat is shot, but at least I know what wires are what now.

 

how are you still driving on those bald tires

 

ha i'm not. it has been sitting in my garage.

 

slowly making more progress.
nothing special though. LEDs in the dome light. got my wiring cleaned, organized, and also installed the new dimmer. got most of the switch panel wiring back where it needs to be.
made a fluid cover since i've been using a bag and rubber band for so long the bag deteriorated. retro yota logo looks good on it
and finally, made a scangauge mount that allows me to remove it if needed since i was previously gluing it.

 

Woohoo! I like these work pics ...

 

about time, right?! dude i'm pumped for LBL! oh, that reminds me.. i need to pop in that thread


Next up on the list I think is designing a map light. this isn't really something that I NEED to do, but I need to work on some new 3d products anyways and it would be fun.

 

Driving your truck? Or ridin with Levi?

 

not driving unfortunately. it won't be ready by any means.

 

Hope you get it in shape soon. I want to see this beast! You don't have a front locker do you? Any plans for one?

 

I do not, but one will be added. That was always the plan, too!

 

That's gonna be sweet! Also curious what all you've broken besides spider gears? 37s are my end goal once I get a daily, but debating on a SAS first

 

related to 37's? nothing. i have stock uppers and do eat ball joints like no other though. that will be changed here soon. I think before the SAS i'm going to LT. SAS is far away.

 

Wow that's amazing. Good to hear. Still a shame this thing won't make it to LBL this year

 

Nice to see this thing coming back to life, always loved this truck, got lots of inspiration from it.

 

Next year man, promise. A lot will be different by then

Means a lot dude, thanks! I've for sure missed it. I'm sure @Robertocritser got sick of hearing me complain about me not being able to work on the tank over the years

 

Not at all. Just go glad its seeing some light now!

 

Hoping Windrock gave you some inspiration to get this thing on the trails again!

 

I would reallllllllly like to see the photo in these two posts. Is it possible to find them anywhere?

 

Yeah man, I'll figure out what those pics were and see if I can't find them. I started to migrate everything to my site, but never finished it.

On another note, I'm headed to Chattanooga to pick up something for the tank
