Gear Head's Silver 2000 TRD Build

just kidding. the day star shackles are just too narrow to fit the chevies. looks like somebody will be getting free shackles in the near future

 

Haha do you have access to a bansaw and a drill press? Just make your own. The metal should cost around $15-$20. 2"x8"x3/8" and 6" eye to eye is what most people run. So 2"x32"x3/8" should be good. May want to do a little more to account for the thickness of the cuts

 

I got it all haha

 

I was thinking... I move into my house in ~2 weeks and wanna pick up your hybrid and sliders shortly after. Would you be opposed to me coming down and helping with the builds? Shipping on both items would cost more than gas would and I may have a few other little projects for us

Edit: I googled Goose Creek and it's not far from my parents' condo in Myrtle so I might try and make this a weekend trip! If you're ok with it of course haha

 

Went to Hurricane Creek and Piligrim Trail in Asheville, NC over the weekend for a TW meet. Like 23 trucks showed up and all had a good time! Pics can be seen here:

So, if anyone is still reading this, I have been talking about getting a house for months now. Well the day finally came!! I closed yesterday, wrote a big check, and officially got my keys! I'm really excited to start this next phase of my life. And, now that I have closed, I can start spending money on the truck again! I have made plans to go down to SC and pick up EddyRRT kickout sliders and a hybrid bumper the weekend of May 2. Also, 35x12.50x15 MTR's might be in the mix around that date as well

My new home!

 

Looks awsome man! Can wait till I have a house to call my own.

 

Thanks bud! It's definitely an amazing feeling. I've been waiting a long time for this. It was nice meeting you last weekend too btw! That runner of yours is sexy

 

Yeah man it was good to meet you to! We need to get together again come summer or on a weekend.

 

Yeah man! My buddy was telling me about some pretty popular trail near Boone, any idea of what he might be talking about?

 

Yeah I go there some it's pretty fun, it's called Richland rd I love about 40 mins from it.

 

Dude the house is SICK. Im about to be 28 and still don't have a House of my own. You got a good head on your shoulders.

But.........

Gluches April 12th??? Me, Sutton....

 

Congrats on the house! Looks nice!

 

Ha thanks man, moving in this weekend! And you'll get one when the time is right And I'll have to see what I've got going on then. I also got invited to Uwharrie that weekend too lol. Might be working though

Any word on those jobs you were interviewing for?

Nice man! I actually bought the steel for my shackles yesterday. 2"x3/8" lol beefy as hell. I've got scrap left over from my bumper that I'm going to set the creepers in. The creepers are actually the only thing left to buy! When you planning on getting everything on?

Thanks man! Me and the gf are really excited to get moved in this weekend

 

I was invited to two URE trips but UGH just stay close to the house. I'm so good I got a job at http://www.armored-cars.com

 

No idea lol. Hopefully in the next month

 

Dude, that looks pretty fucking sweet! Is that the one that was closer to where you live or the one that pays better?

Ha I hear ya. I might be on the same time frame. Either way...

 

10 mins from the house and pays more
