Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Pelfrey makes a tube hybrid. Allpoo did a tube also but doesnt now.

 

Prerunner aren’t cool anymore. All about overlending

 

Not a big sports fan but I'll take free and good seats any day.

 

I like pelfrey but demello is my fave for sure

 

Decent deal here for first gen PR's

I have almost all the parts but low range stopped making the 2wd tranny adapter. now i need a 4wd tranny. kinda threw a wrench in the works

 

Lots of reading, questions and countless hours in the garage with no social life can get you there with minimal cost.

 

I was thinking about going this route?!

I feel ya there! All-Poo had a rear bumper that I REALLY wanted to get, but ever since that fiasco about 5x months back, I'm afraid to place an order for that rear bumper w/ tow hitch adapt.

Trail Gear makes a similar one, but I still like the All-Poo better.

BELIEVE ME, I did quite a bit of reading and know what you're talking about when it comes to how/what my end goal is... even though there IS NO "end goal" when it comes to modding our rigs!!!

Btw, I so like how your rig is setup!!! It has that sorta "rebel look" to it?!

 

Now that they are back in Hemet, I would just drive and get one. I don’t think anyone has questioned their products (except maybe their springs as of late) just their customer service or lack there of.

 

Do ALL of the manufacturer (i.e. Demello, All-Pro, Pelfrey, etc) make hybrids/tube w/ winch front bumpers for 1st Gens??? Funny this is mentioned now as I was just thinking about actually going this route.

I MUST FIND a rich old lady and just marry her so I can fund my truck parts!!!

 

The allpro Baja for the first gen is pretty badass

 

This is going to be a really dumba$$ question, but what is meant by "one-off"???

I like how that looks. I need skids though, similar to the front stock skid as it has actually saved my dumba$$ a few times.

 

I'm doing my reading now and see this, "Completely bolt-on (except on 98-00 models – see instructions)"???

Why can't they just make shi* that just bolts on??? FML!!!

 

Yeah, the wheels/tires are my first thing right now.

I just want the bumper mainly for the winch, if anything. Other than that, I'm fine with my stock grill/bumper.

BTW, I replied to that MT wheels thread and they're 15x9.5 with the 9.5 being a bit much? I only want to go as far as 8's.

Thanks for that lookout brotha!!!

I'm a pu$$y-hair close to finally pulling the trigger to get my 15x7's. I'm thinking at the end of this month I should be able to do this? Besides, my tires right now are getting down to the wear-bar AND tread chunks are missing from off-roading. Santiago Peak, believe it or not, actually has sharp little rocks in certain parts of the trail.

Plan on going again in about two weeks... cheap dirt time!!!

 

HAHAHA, roughly 5yrs. So yeah, I'm well aware that doesn't help either!!!

 

BTW, I've known for some time, but couldn't afford the tires until recently. I COULD have just re-bought the same/similar size I have now, but then I would NEVER be able to get my 31's???!!! So, I've held off as much and as long as I can until then. I actually have funds "freeing-up" this Sept, so I will probably, hopefully, be able to get my suspension soon as well? That's the plan right now.

 

I'll take a pic tomorrow and post regarding "safety issue"!!! HAHAHA, being a former 14yr tire tech, I do NOT recommend what I will post tomorrow!!!

BTW, I did my Swansea-Cerro Gordo run like that!!! You'll see the pic.

EDIT:
I STILL have to edit the video that I have from that trip and show you guys. Speaking of mods, I want to " hardwire" power to my "GoPro's" (I.e. Kim Jong-un specials) so that they no longer require batteries!!! I could have taken HOURS LONG video, but limited to the F'N batteries!!!

 

Yeah, no shi*!!! I never did hit you up on that belt change I need to have done as well. Plus, I just might do my front brakes as well???

Also, I still have my door panels off because I want to find that speaker wire issue as well as possibly replacing my stock speakers anyways. Nothing too fancy other than replacing the old speakers as they're beat-up a little from age. Seeing what I see now, makes me want to change the speakers... just because. As well as trying to, hopefully, fix the driver-side key assembly?!

I haven't been doing much with my truck because my mom is still in that rehab doing PT stuff. She's doing better, but obviously at a slower pace.
