02goldie's build thread

Lucky! $1.50 for 5 minutes....

 

I know your pain, this doesn't look as bad as yours but this is with stock wheels so they don't stick out at all which means everything is thrown underneath truck

 

Haha suckers! Last time my truck saw mud real bad I was at the carwash for 3 hours lol

 

Could've really used one of those last week. But it was over 2 seperate times at the car wash. I don't think ill touch mud again after the cleaning I went thru lol

 

I always say the same thing, but it never happens haha

 

This.

 

Sadly I'm in the same boat haha oh well

 

Haha well I guess we'll see how long I can keep it outta the mud. The initial hole was the worst. It was that red clay mud. The other trucks had to have momentum to make it thru so I had to one-up them and I was able to stop in the middle and crawl right out.

 

well decided to sell my bed cover. it was a pain to take on and off and i don't keep much in the bed to worry about getting stolen or anything so i went ahead and got rid of it. so now i am gonna build a bed bar. got 10' of inch and a half square tubing so hopefully have that built in the next week or so. also sliders are welded so should be on fairly soon.

bed bar plan:

 

Nice, keep us posted on the bar and sliders. Interested to see how it turns out

 

Looking good man!

 

will do! if this snow storm is as bad as they are saying, it may be a few days before i can start

thanks man. you goin to the hurrican creek ride?

 

Doubtful .
I want to, but its a decent little haul for a ton of mud... not my forte but im also trying to get a ton of orders that are flying in now it seems since ive moved shops.. & I still haven't even gotten to start on my own rear bumper yet, Nathan had to go and take it from me... I tried to buy it back from him but he sadly declined

 

ahh ok yea im jus looking forward to meeting several people from the forum and hopefully avoid the mud if it dries up any by then. but yea i can see why he would say no haha, definetly a good looking bumper

 

Are those just the normal stock fj trd trail wheels?
Like the way they look! Thinking about getting some but just want to make sure 256/75/r16 duratrac tires would fit on them. sorry if dumb question

 

I think they r man. I think that's what he told me cause I ask too when I seen in person. I know he told me that he bought them off ebay. But then rims though look sick on his truck and thell look sweet on urs too.

 

thanks man. yea theyre 7.5" wide so 265s will fit fine, just have to run wheel spacers

 

ended up getting quite a bit of snow

 

Got started on my bed bar this evening. Ran out of daylight but jus gotta add the 'feet', bolts for the hi lift, and paint it. I made it so it has a 5" rise from the lip of the bed. Also have the measurements from autocad if anyone wants to make one their self.
