And now its story time

So I bought the truck back in November of 2011. We bought it private party, it had 54,000 miles the day it came home. Heres where it gets interesting. I bought the truck as a complete "bro dozer" . It had a 6in lift and mud tires, long story short.

​

On the way home from buying it, we stopped at Discount Tire and replaced the warn mud terrains with my current BFG's.

​

So that was all fine and dandy, for a year or so. I started to get into the pre runner scene, and immediately realized that the drop bracket lift had to go!
Thats when i pulled all that crap off, built a bumper, and installed Maxtrac spindles and radflo coilovers.

​

Bought new wheels, maxtrac spindles, radflo coil overs and removed the pro comp lift

​

So mid travel was fun, for about three months. I wanted moar!!!!! So i picked up my total chaos kit, shocks and went to town

​

So i did the get rear ended mod...

​

His car was pretty bad (2013 Challenger with 3000 miles on it) as for my truck, its the bumper, hitch and tailgate

Later that week i found this...

​

Not really sure how this happened... #longtravelproblems
Big thanks to Pat for loaning me his wheel for the week

​

But the week got better because my man JeepAndrew made this sexy ass bumper...

​

And thats about it for now. Also since my last update i got my 50" light bar mounted, and pick up Jamie's 30" bar for the bumper and his CB Radio for Rugg Road

​

Thats pretty much where she sits today.

More details to come as far as pictures, details, and what is coming in the near future . Just bare with me... I have to go to class now

 

I dont see the poor college kid part

 

everything was bought used, i live at home so most of my small income is saved for this baby

If you knew how little i had in it you would laugh...

 

I also observed this.

 

i will take suggestions for a new title then i suppose, i really have not a lot into it, and all my az friends know i have no money haha.

 

You can save substantially in the long travel game by buying used parts and cleaning/rebuilding yourself
