Your unique mod on the 1st Gens

Ik i saw a guy on the buy and sell here with one. It’s probably sold already but you can ask where he got his

 

Do you happen to have the link to the specific post?? Its worth a try.

Not exactly unique, but certainly not a common one. I replaced the rusted leaking factory sheet metal on the 3rd member with this beast:

Was rugged as f*ck. Unfortunately the frame followed the 3rd member shortly afterwards and Toyota said "We'll give you this check for your truck" so I never got a chance to see how it held up long-term.

 

Thanks!

 

@Sperrunner ready to do this to your shell?

@Windfarmer

I have a lift, so I can't be jealous of that. But my back is certainly loving the suspension on that Ferris zero turn. My Kubota 52" has low profile tires and rides like a military troop transport. Lesson learned.

Just to make it tolerable, I sit on a 13" inner tube with about 5 lbs of pressure in it.

 

This is a great idea. Nice work!

 

"Intentionally" cut off my muffler right after my resonator

 

So this has started.... Ds2 4.0 projector retro and hid kit. I never really thought about the shroud and just ordered a panorama switchback shroud. No way that thing will fit. I need smaller shrouds but I want to make sure I’m getting the right ones this time. These after market headlights have a smaller bucket than the stock ones. I think I saw a thread where a member on here builds the lights. Anyone got the link to that or know his name? He had several pics of different set-ups he’d put together.

 

Oh and here’s a unique one from a couple weeks ago! Lower ball joint failure! The steering felt “tight” the day before. So I put it up on the lift to check things out. Everything felt good, no slack in any of the steering or suspension so I assumed my powering steering pump or rack and pinion was starting to fail... AGAIN. I get up to go to work the next morning and make it about 3 miles and wham! Luckily it happened on a gravel road and I was only going about 25. The lower balljoint “ball” looked like it had just dried out (no grease zerk) and grinded down enough to pop out of the socket. It has moogs all the way around now, hoping that never happens again. Pretty fortunate with the only amount of damage it caused! Upper and lower ball joints, axle, and brake hose.
