Time for a new project. My Dad gave me this truck after daily driving it for 15 years. It's got a ton of history. I took my high school girlfriend to the winter formal in this thing, I burnt the carpet in the cargo area from a hot bbq on my 21st birthday (dont ask), and I've spent countless hours in it with my Dad making great memories. Hell it even got stolen one time and ended up just north of the border, thank god! It's got 290,000 miles, it's second transmission has over 150,000 miles, it's got a fresh set of heads, but the bottom end of the motor is still clicking away! It leaks a quart of oil every couple weeks, but the picture below shows that she can still prerun a 42 mile race course that had a 17% finishing rate!
I have been stock piling parts over the last few months, here's what I have:
Front Suspension
Solo cut and turned beams - I am going to extend them
SAW 2.5x14 coilovers
Camburg radius arms on 1.25 heims with pivot boxes, and a crossmember made by Southwest
An engine cage built by Chad Mcneil
Rear Suspension
Deaver F64 Leaf pack
King 2.5x12 double bypass'
Giant Shackles
Misc
The 9" from my old Toyota, trussed, disc brakes
12 Volt fridge
35" BFG Bajas
Mastercraft drive shaft loop
Super nice insulated plug wires
Die hard platinum battery
Front glass (hood and bedsides are on their way)
Race Radio
First plan is to get all this stuff installed, build some bumpers, and take it out! Cage is on the list too.
