The little 2TR that could...

no pictures! BOoo!

 

wish mine was 4x4.



Top picture was at chandler mall?

 

old pic but recognized the background.

 

woah, weird. Actually my name is Josue, spanish for joshua. just easier.

 

I'll let you know bro. I still got about a month left here in country, but after I get back and install the new one I will get in touch with you for sure. I'm stationed in Ft. Irwin, CA, so we can coordinate something when the time comes. Thanks for checking out the build

 

Thanks for check'n out the build man, I appreciate it. The short throw is awesome man. My throw bearing went bad not a month after I bought it. I've been driving it for the past 3 years like that, so it was time to get the stage 1. I'll let you know how that is when I get home. Dude you should be able to get a locker/re-gear in for just a hair over $1,400. If my numbers are right I got both done w/ labor, shop supplies, and all that for about $1,500 (rough guesstimate).

 

Sweet look'n Taco btw man!!

 

Very true. It's not uncommon for 4x4 owners to only lock the rear. But I agree with you 100% might as well do the whole shabang. Right now I'm debating on either getting fender flares, or a paintball gun. I have to wait and see how the bumper looks.

 

yeah man I wanna get me a 1911 .45 pretty badly. But I can't shoot people with it as often as a paintball gun. If I get both I'll have more room to jump the Taco, and shoot out the window in mid air

 

Nice build man. Really good lookin truck.

 

Thanks dude. I got a couple updates. I got bored today and couldn't distract myself so I bought a Pro Flow Exhaust from LCE. If Glasswork's website decides to start working I'm gonna pick up some front fender flares. *The paintball gun will have to be put on hold for a pay check Also, as soon as time allows it back on the west coast I'm gonna try to order some rear resi shocks. Cheers!

 

Dang, you got money stashed places I don't want to know about.lol

 

Combat pay my friend. It's a rough time making it, it's sooo easy to spend it. The "stash" you speak of is for a project later this year. V8 and a Kenne Bell supercharger is all I'm say'n

 

I just got done making some rather patchy phone calls through this sorry excuse for internet I have out here in the 'Stan . Icon 2.5'' Rear Resi's, and Glassworks fenders are ordered. I still have no date on when the rear locker/regearing is going down, but all that is left to do at this point is come home, and spend a day or two installing parts. Then. Four peaks!!!!

 

Alrighty. It's that time for updates. Since I have spontaneous spending issues I decided to purchase a bolt-in spare tire carrier for the bed. Powder coated black of course. My rear diff. work is still pending, and just waiting on the fenders, and rear shocks to be delivered. What do you guys think of painting the faded rear fenders. Think there would be color match issues? On that note, anyone really handy with that kind of crap in the area willing to help?

 

You might want to look into a lunchbox style locker. Richmond Gear makes one called the Powertrax No-slip. It's like $400 some bucks, a breeze to install, and is made for exactly what your describing. The part number is 9220803002. That's the route I almost took, but was convinced to go Detroit. I'll be honest. Something tells me I'm going to regret it but too late now

 

Okay. So we are about ready to GTFO of dodge. I figured before I have to part with internet for a while I'd give some updates. My truck has been in the shop for five (5) days now getting the Detroit locker, and re-gearing done. Yes, I know, you see five days and think "WTF is taking so long"?? Well, I'm out of the loop on this one. I have left it in the capable hands of the mechanics I trust. I could have done the job myself, but for the sake of not doing too much wrenching during my leave this route makes too much sense. Other than that parts are still en-route to the house, and I got some plans in the making for some weekend off road adventures. If anyone is interested in knowing dates, locations, and activities let me know. I got a lot of time to make up for Cheers!

 

Truck looks good man! Are those General Grabbers 265/75-16's? Also, what tire carrier did you order?

 

Thank you for check'n out the project dude! The General's are stock size, so 245/65-16's. Those are just serving as a street tire. I have Pathfinder A/T's for off road. The spare tire carrier is from Baja Bumpers.

 

Thanks man! Looking forward to pics of the tire carrier. I'd love to get one for mine.
