Jerretxx: Something out of nothing, my 84 build

Its a standard tag.

 

alright, ive thought about taking my truck off the road and towing it like you do the runner. does it tow fairly well?

 

Its under 4k lbs. so it just needs a standard tag as far I know.

 

The tacoma tows it okay. It lacks some power, but it gets the job done. The firestone bags made a huge improvement.

 

alright. i was thinking the tag had the cover the weight of the trailer, load, and truck; but, i wasnt sure.

 

How do you like the welded rear on the street? I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts about going with a spool cause I like to drive it on the street every now and then.

 

i am thinking about doing it. i am worried about those steep hills on 49 though. scared it would kill my transmission

 

i dont mind it. it barks pretty loud when i U-turn, but I drive my tacoma 95% of the time. probably havent put 100 miles on the welded rear, and 70 of that was to Uwharrie and back

 

I think I'll just go with the spool. It should be fun.

 

I keep the tranny in 4 most of the time. On flats I'll switch to D.

 

spool is nice because it can be reversed. I honestly would put a limited slip, air, or e-locker if you drive it a lot.

 

Yea thats what made me consider the spool. I may call up ECGS tomorrow and tell them to put a Spartan in the rear as well. I like to drive it once or twice a week but not far. I'm 10 min. from everything in Charlotte.

 

The beast held up well against your heavy right foot during Memorial Day. It was so fun watching you bounce over rocks with open diffs. I am kinda sad that is the only time I got to watch it.

 

my friend, who was in the white mazda is buying the truck so it will be wheeling with us in the future. Ill miss wheeling it, but I am ready to get another project. the new one will be automatic, and have a back seat.

 

oh yes cant wait to get this beast to URE

 

you'll have to keep people posted on its progress since you'll be the newest owner!

 

Please keep building it.

 

Oh don't worry I got plans in the making for this haus!

 

Yea I will definetly keep you guys posted on the continued building of "the beast"!
