mcharfauros: Mike’s Truck and Wife’s 4Runner stuff

Just came across your build thread. Good lookin rig!

 

Appreciate it boss, not where we wanna be, but having fun along the way!

 

Theres always more to do. Your def in a good group with @G.T. around!

 

For sure met @G.T. via the STL Thread, turns out he’s an awesome friend, who now is family. Learned so much from him, and still learning.

Got some primer down on the skids. Don’t gotta be pretty, we know they gonna get beat up.

Got some good paint on em skids, spent more than $10 on rattle cans so it’s gotta be good.

 

Out of curiosity are you active, guard or reserve?

 

Active. You?

 

I was Army Guard. Jacked my hips up in basic and got discharged. A normal hip on an Xray has space between the pelvis and the femur, mine does not. Still made it to a 15 minute two mile. Failed push-ups after being on crutches for 3 months. I was pissed. Felt like my body robbed me of my duty. Now I work as a mil gov contractor so I'm continuing the fight in my own way.

 

@Slashaar rough break, I feel you, went through a hip surgery myself 3 years ago due to an impingement, rough rehab. Good on you, I hope to get on that side of the DOD and get out of this green suit.

 

Pay is a lot better on this side too

What's your MOS? Might be something here for you when you get out.

 

You sir.. have inspired me to do more!! Nice job!!

 

@Hookedup Appreciate it brotha, never really thought I’d inspire anything. But I’ll take it! Still a long ways to go, but definitely enjoying the ride. Diggin that cement tho, nice work!

 

Yea man nice write up!! ⚙️ 4.88s, sliders, bumper & winch are in my future.. just not sure in what order lol.. it’s the little things

 

I’ve already searched EBay for that 750$ ‘Warren’ 10k Zeon.. no luck lol

 

Yea probably won’t see that “warren” up again.

If I could go back and do it over, I’d probably go with the gears and locker first. Got denied a few times in TN, sent me home with a case of what could have been.

 

Forget that! Get you a Stallion! https://sherpa4x4.com/products/stallion-25000lb-truck-winch?variant=14715532509302
For when you want to winch your truck up a tree!

 

Probably use that thing as my front bumper too!! I like the way ya think

 

It's cheaper than a high end warn so it's a win win.
