Colinb17's kinda sorta build thread - now with 4-link and long travel

gonna try to use the largest diameter line that will fit through the holes in them, but 550 is definitely the default

 

Yea I have unfortunately had quite a few situations by myself when a winch was useless without an anchor, and even burying my spare tire as a dead man anchor was still impossible. Sand ladders would've had me out in a couple minutes instead of a few hours.

 

yeah, no fun diggining a giant hole just to burry your spare with the winch line tied around it.......

 

No picture of the big guy pushing down the top so yall could get the top nut on?

 

I think christina probably dropped the camera and ran when we hit that level of danger.

 

Yeah good times lol

 

I just did the math on what it's going to cost me to do front LT, rear LT, lockers/gears, and 35s. without running a bypass shock up front from the get go, it's going to total about 12 grand. that doesn't include building the hybrid bed, since i haven't actually sat down to design that yet.

let the games begin

 

Are you going to buy a daily driver?

 

yes, just don't know when.

i can do front LT, gears, and tires without one, but i'll need another form of transportation for the rear LT and hybrid bed.

 

This will be cool to watch


Start ordering shit... You can pay it off later

 

shoot, i can pay for it now, i just couldn't do anything with it. I'm in an extended stay apartment/hotel for the forseeable future with next to nothing as far as tools go, and no place to work on the truck

 

however i should probably also budget in the appropriate monies for a wedding ring for Ms. Colinb17, so she doesn't kill me in my sleep when 400 lbs of truck gear shows up.......

 

I got one for sale Colin lol. Or I can just trade truck parts.

 

We talking about a daily driver, or a wedding ring right now

 

Ring.

 

oh...when i said budget, i menat a couple bucks to go buy a cracker jack box with a ring in the bottom.

 

Lol. I need to sell this thing. I think its cursed.

 

What the shit?! Thanks for telling me that before offering to sell it

 

Haha. Craigslist it is.

 

Cursed discount.
