The Frankenstein Build! LT/Expo/Trail rig..and BS

Yea. Plus stronger front diff and cvs in a lighter rig..well...maybe not mine..but still.

When I get home gonna do some more measurements with my dads

Biggest issue is the spindles and hubs as our cvs go from 30 inner spline to 27 spline and 2nd gens are 30 spline all around. And the front diff is 1.5" wider on each side. So..who knows..

Need to think and plan a bit more first.

 

Sounds like custom spindles?

 

T3i no lens

T2i with lens..

 

Yea and LCAs and UCAs possibly..

Or a gussested 2nd gen spindle and long ass UCAs and LCAs..could make for some interesting travel numbers. And huge lift..

The UCAs would need mounted up higher though too.

 

Ahh haha didn't see that. I'm not sure, those are cheaper but they're also older... I'll probably end up getting the Nikon. I'll go talk to the people at the store Tuesday and see if they do the payment plan on cameras...

 

I'd go for the t3i if you get one of those. Bit better then the t2i and has better video stuff. But not worth going to a t4i

 

Monte what did you do with the interior of the other cab? Probably sent it off with the rest?

 

I held it for like 1-2 months in case people needed stuff. But then it started to snow and was in the way so I trashed it

 

Nice of you to hang onto it that long for people, oh well I missed out on this one.

 

Yea was just in the way after a while

Sorry man. What did you need??

 

passenger door armrest, mine is destroyed from the previous owner and I never bothered to care until recently.

 

Ahhh yes haha

Actually mine might have been different as it was a 96. Your interior is much nicer then mine..

 

I disagree to an extent. The t3i is more comfortable and ergonomic. It is better for video then the t2i.

So if those are important..it's worth it.

I guess for me as video was important it was worth it. But the t3i had better picture quality then the t4i...even tho it was very small.

They are basically the same camera though yes.

 

Lol gtfo gage

 

Dang, look what I've started! Haha I'm pretty set on going with the Nikon 5100

 

Just cause any more weight would break your scrawny neck


And I know it's the same sensor. But the flip out screen is a must for video IMO. But whatever. I don't care that much. I'm not getting either. Like I said..I'm getting the 60d

 

Nice man! Why not the 5200? Basically the updated version right?

And Ben and I's friendship is based mostly on pointless bickering hahaha

 

Haha no, you're wrong! You have to get what he says is good

Because it's about twice the price! Haha Most say that for beginners it isn't worth the extra cost. I'm really hoping the store on base has one and does the payment plan so I can have one to take with my wheeling this Saturday!

 

Yea I can get it with the 18-135 as a kit lens. Then ill get the adaptor for my dads older fd lenses and play with those. Won't be wide since it'll be a cropped sensor still and the adaptor adds another 1.6x to the focal length. But the 100-200mm should be cool.


And yes...wide lens..

 

Nice!

I don't knw Nikon stuff as much. Didn't have the video stuff I wanted for the price so I just went canon haha
