trekker's taco and Melly's 4R

I'm here to keep you motivated

 

Im honored, what am i being included in?

Edit: ooh i might be in for this

 

I need you to make me an awesome sig pic....

also we're going to hidden falls mid March, weekend of the 16th, and if you're interested you should come out

 

Is that what we're calling it? "Motivation"

 

That's what I'm going with!

 

I got you boo, ill work on it tomorrow

 

Same here, but all small stuff that I don't really want to do!

 

Oh.... can we all have MS paint signature?!?!?!?

 

Hahaha u cant get this level of detail from MS Paint... come on man

 

I've got to do the following before I wheel again:

Oil change
Trim fenders just a tiny bit more
Fit rear flares and get everything trimmed
Extended brake lines front and rear and flush all of the old brake fluid
U-bolt flip and timbren bump stops
Replace lower control arms (my lower ball joints are bad and I bet the bushings are beat up too) and replace the alignment cam bolts, crank caster all the way forward
Replace upper control arm ball joints with greasable versions and adjust camber/caster to match the lower adjustments
Swap front coils... figure out how to mount the remote reservoir bracket in conjunction with my front frame braces on the bumper. I dunno how that's gonna happen just yet
Swap rear shocks and mount remote reservoirs

Oh, and my CB antenna snapped near the base on the drive home Sunday. Weird... so I ordered a new one and a new spring as well as a SWR meter to get it tuned and also tune up the antenna on the T4R.

Then I've got the following that I want to have done before Jambo:

Exhaust reroute
Mount mid skids and gas tank skid
Paint correct and give some TLC to some of my trail stripes
Install front and over-tire cameras as well as input selector switch
Buy plenty of beer and whiskey
Install whatever @MellyMel wants done on her T4R if she can ever decide on bumpers... hopefully she has a winch before Jambo

 

Hahahahah that is some prime top money photoshoppin then.

I don't even know my full list honestly..

Rear fender trim
Regear front end
Run Air Lines
Order a switch pro and redo electrical on the truck
Order and install UCAs
Install rest of Rock Lights
Redo CB
Front End Brake Lines
Paint sliders and skids before the rust takes over
Paint rear brake drums
I thought about doing a full detail paint correction again... but not sure if I want to now or after Jambo honestly.
Pretty sure I need an oil change as well
I also want to remove the rear shocks and repaint them as they got scratched from the plastic cover and are rusting some



I would say I could help with the paint correction as I have all the equipment for it and am pretty good as a small thank you for helping to do the front end stuff when you want.

 

Sounds like a good plan to me. We should be able to knock out that front diff swap and then you can school me on what I need to do to freshen up my exterior. I'm clueless when it comes to that stuff.

 

Sounds good to me!

Can even show you how to run everything as I need to paint correct the front fenders soon.

 

Thats as nice little list. Mines not nearly as big but short time to get the key thing done since I only have about 2 weeks until mega run...

Before wheeling again:
*Edit: Nothings happening... More details when I figure it all out.

Before Jambo:
*Edit: No money is being spent on the truck until the bumper is figured out


@MellyMel is running out of time if shes gonna have a winch before Jambo! Better get one it! If you post up your choices I'm sure we can help you decide.

 

I keep telling her to go CBI... it looks so sexy on the 5th gens. Looks matter at the mall.

 

The CBI does look nice. I like how it follows that cutout/mesh under the headlights.


So what are the other options @MellyMel? I've never looked at 4R bumpers. I looked at the Pelfrey and dont really care for it.

 

I’ll post a list of possible options tomorrow -too tired now...must sleep

Howdy!
