dezert mobbin, Budget Ballin Build!

Yeah, there are a ton of those out there.

 

It took forever to get it out

 

Wasnt really in the wash, was in the trails north of the main wash

 

yeah thats what im talking about, a wash that goes into the main wash that leads up to crystal rock?
i just know theres tons of ninjas there so i was just curious

 

I know the area. they are smaller washes that pour into the main wash. They go north/northwest sometimes lead to a trail.

 

It's all good, get ur shit ready!! Hurry! Haha

Ya glad we were fine as well.


So made a great amount of progress on this bitch in just one day (with school and work)
-picked up&installed new inner tie rod
-got another steelies wheel (mounting tires today)
-welded and filled the gash in the a-arm then grinded smooth
-cut bump cans (1done so far) and lowered them (they sat to high before)
-removed steering rack (passenger side mount is bent to shit, So i need to bend it back and plate it)

Got a lot to do still but may just make it to Glamis this weekend dropping the fiberglass fender off at a guys down the street and should have it back and fixed by Thursday. If all goes smooth ill make it all work in 3 days

EDIT: also fixed/rebuilt the tie rod

 

Damn Kaleb that was fast

 

Damn what're you gonna do about the tie rod mount on the spindle?

 

I'm trying! Hahah

Cut it off and make new ones. Going from 3/16ths to 1/4inch just to add a little strength since it'll be cut and welded. Will be plenty strong. My big worry is getting the steering rack mount straightened out in time

 

id have brandon do the tabs, dont trust a 110 on something like that.

 

Did you get a quote

 

my 110 is boss

ya hard to give it to brandon if i dont have a price range, vehicle, or number to call hahah just messin, but im just gonna knock it out myself. quicker, and i have all the supplies i need

 

Pics of the rescue

 

Baja 1000?

 

thanks again for saving my ass jamie! and pat! and juan! hahah

you know it


Well wow I've slacked on updates in here!

sooo i did get the truck finished in time to make to glamis last weekend! and it survived the hell i put it through. Almost rolled it, bent another rim, and smashed the passenger side fiberglass up once again... but still drove it all the way home fine.

Some pre-glamis pics of fixing my truck (didn't take many, was in a huge rush to finish and get to the dunes)



Shitty pic but my 110 get the job done


Some pics taken at Glamis (thanks to juan!)









Plan on going to the dunes for thanksgiving as well, but before i go, i got quite a list to complete:

-Fix fiberglass again (done)
-replace all brakes (done and what a PITA the rear drums were!!)
-Build a new tie rod (passenger on is still bent slightly and gives me crazy bump steer)
-frame plates (front and outside the rear)
-Find a solid/strong solution to keep my cab from splitting any more in the back
-seal my fuel cell
-new spare rim (may be just going with a set of methods and then use my current rims as spares.)

 

Sweet truck man, really cool build

 

i wish we got pictures of the rescue mission sat night in the dunes

 

thanks man!

Yeah that was a fun one for sure hahaha

 

dude fuck that night.

 

Haha the trip was fun. Not that bight tho haha. Can't wait to for long travel
