Heather's 92 Pickup Build

My Xmas gift was the trail gear 4" rear lift kit!!! Just need to find time to get it installed!

 

Tried to take the truck wheeling this last weekend, but there was too much snow to make it very far.

 

gotta get that ass up!!! lol

 

X2.. Butt....it still looks nice!

 

I'm a little concerned about those welds. Is that homebuilt?

 

Leaf springs are sitting in my living room-- just too busy at work to have time to work on the truck.

 

Yep-- homemade. The welds are good... Held up well so far.

Thanks

 

Finally mounted up my spare tire in the bed:

 

a square "homebuilt" front driveshaft will survive longer and drag over more rocks without anything more then a scratch then almost any professionally built driveshaft. unless they are using tube that has like 3/8" wall.


Truck looks good. i just made myself a square front driveshaft. probably going to be making another for a friend who's tacoma i've been helping sas. They are the way to go, super strong and cheap as dirt

 

They look fine to me..

Agreed.

 

The second "mud shot" is priceless.

 

I think I'm still cleaning mud out from that puddle...

 

Ya, the square driveline is super tough. I'm happy with it. I don't have much of a choice for now anyway... The angle between my diff and tcase is too steep.

I just found and sub'd to your thread for your 84 pickup. Sorry to hear about your 01. That 84 will be bad ass though!

 

Also mounted my Hi-Lift on my tool box recently:

 

thanks. Btw the CAT mud flaps are awesome! just noticed them

 

sick looking truck! Bet it performs awesome!

doesen't that just ruin the balance of the thing?

 

Yeah, but it doesn't matter for daily driving when the hubs are unlocked.

 

actually doesn't affect balance horribly. Buddie with an 85 xtra cab can get up to about 40 before you notice the vibes. I have yet to go over 10 with mine yet so i don't know. And yeah doesnt do a thing as long as the hubs are unlocked

 

Thanks! Ya, it can't be balanced. It gets really loud and vibrates over 10 mph. But, I have a balanced regular driveline for road driving that I can switch to if needed (it just won't flex enough for offloading.)

 

Time for a new clutch!
