Matt's Long Travel Prerunner build

you think you got blue balls?!?!?! haha, imagine how i feel

 

true, but you're gonna get to huck that bad boy in a few days

 

ok, here are some teaser updates for you guys. my truck is so close to being done it's not even funny. the cage is only 1/4 or so done. the upper shock mounts will be double shear, and the cage is going to encorporate a single spare tire carrier and rear bumper

 

yeah man lookin good

 

whered ya get the new tires from anyway?, i got me a set of 285 grabbers from tirerack last week. im gettin them put on on saturday mornin.

 

i ordered my tires from 4wheelonline.com but my order got cancelled cause some jack a loon got my card info and started charging random shit so my bank stopped all my transaction on my card and therefore my order got cancelled. i'm waiting to get my money back then i'll re-order. it sucks, it was my debit card so the money they spent actually came out of my account...

 

shit dude that sucks,thats good though that they stopped the transactions like that

 

yeah, USAA is a great bank, but it still sucks. messed up my spending money scheduale

 

what are you gunna do with the width of the rear? keep it stock or run some spacers to make it wider?

 

uhhh ohhh looking good.....

 

Looking good man, looks like they do some top notch work. Those welds look terrific!

 

yeah, i got a set of spidertrax im gonna run. i'm keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a tundra axle

dude, you havent seen anything yet

they do amazing work

 

if you had to put a price on everything you have done in the rear so far, how much would you estimate?

with the cage, shocks welding etc etc. (including labor)

 

OMG, i dont even want to think about it hahaha

when all is said and done it will be at least $5,000 but im sure it's more than that. and thats with Karl hooking me up on install and fab work and finding deals on RDC and dez rangers for my deavers, bypasses, air bumps. had to pay full price for all mounting hardware and bedsides, frame rails gussets and frame box kit, brake line... blah blah blah

 

oh boy a big hole in your pocket for sure. But its a sexy truck. I cant wait to see the final pics!

Im getting my baja bumper next month from a fab guy in chino.



Also what thickness of the tubing is your baja bumper?

 

yes, big hole in the pocket, after this i am taking a break from spending money on my truck except for a few things, and until i break something

I dont remember thickness of my bumper tubing and cant go out an measure...

 

Since your going to get the grabbers and the Enduro rims, what are you going to do with your older rims that are on your truck now? Ill be happy to buy them off of you if you want to get rid of them. Ive been looking for a good pair for a while now.

 

well, long story short my order got cancelled for my new tires and wheels cause some jack ass got my card info and spent alot of my money at random places and my bank cancelled the card and my order got cancelled. it was my debit card so my funds actually left my bank acct so i havent re-orders the wheels and tires cause i'm waiting to get my money back

when i do sell i have a local buyer lined up for the wheels, dont think he wants the tires so if you want them they are yours but there isn't much tread left really, prob a couple thousand miles or so

 

Well if he bails on buying the wheels, let me know, I would swoop them up the same day.

Keep up the good work!

 

damn im jealous!!! lolz...jk truck is looking good though....cant wait to see it when its done....
