2wd or 4wd? I bet you'd be fine for daily driving with 29s, so they don't hit while turning. My 2 cents.

Didn't think about a dolly or the such at all! Because of traffic, and our lousy roadways, it's a 30-40 minute drive. I could make it in 20 but... Thanks!

Saturday's Pick'N'Pull day! I don't need anything, but gosh dang, I just can't pass this thing up, or put it off. In case I see something I have to have... What tools would everyone suggest bringing? I was thinking sockets and wrenches, metric and standard, breaker bar, tork sockets (i think that's the name), and a tape measure.

x2 on the clearance. Looks sturdy!

I think there's a big write up on it on NAXJA. If I remember I'll copy some stuff over here. Basically, you end up disconnecting all the vacuum lines but 3 or 4, and plug/unplug the rest.

My Lincoln 185 MIG is running fluxcore right now, and it's kickass to burn through stuff. I figure it's probably bad for something, but oh well.

I started on my tire gate tonight. How did you mount the bottom of the frame to the truck? I'm trying to make it so I can pull mine off, and mount a normal tailgate, should I ever want to, and I'm going to pick up some new latch parts this weekend to weld to, just can't figure out how to get it in place.

Try starting fluid for the hell of it. That'll let you know on fuel at least

Threw this together on MSPaint. Didn't paint it or anything, just don't have anything to do, and I can't fall asleep. I used a side pic of jftimbo's truck and a Yota truck. I apoligize to jftimbo for not getting his permission first. Hope you don't mind! Lol, that came out lookign bad. Oh, well. Might look better, had I put more effort in, but there's the idea?

Might be worth welding...

:headpop: I can't believe environmentalists will allow 2-strokes out on trails before trucks. I'm no tree-hugger, and I love 2-strokes, but I can COMPLETELY understand why people are attempting to ban them. Out 2-stroke jet-ski coats the water with oil and gas. My trucks, I believe, cause minimal damage in comparison. Most trucks are quieter than 2-strokes, produce less harmful emmisions, but the dumbasses out there are ruining for everyone by leaving trails and spinning tires. Sure it can be fun to rebel and all that hubble-abluble, but I'm getting sick of all this. Out by me, there is one good spot for hill climbs. One!!! And it's been closed! It's a freaking butte made of cinders!!!! There are no plants!!!! I freaking hate trail closures. Makes me wish I'd be involved in a different sport, where I wouldn't have to upset or let down by hippies, and I LOVE offroading. Why do they have to ruin it? If off-roaders were educated properly, or used common sense, there'd be alot less of an issue. I'm upset at so many things when I read this stuff. Please, excuse my rant.

Yeah, that's what I meant. People like to get fancy on names though. What grade of bolt were you thinking?

Woohoo!!! I can't wait to see these on trucks! Was hoping to get ahold of 3 or 4 magnets as well. I know they won't last long, but I want to let people know about the site, and I think even one time of seeing the magnet will make them curious. Pete, you're awesome!

For mine, we rented a slidehammer for like $6 or something, and it came right out.

That's awesome!!!!

We need those magnets!

Are you using an elimitator?

The cost of T-Cases is the reason I'm trying to find a 4wd donor for my Toyota. I thought a doubler was just the price of the plate pretty much. Like $300 or something. Seems like that's all the Yota ones are, but maybe the NP ones are different.

It's 20 miles north of where I live, and I currently don't need anything, but... We finally freakin got one. Are there any fees just to go in, for insurance or anything? Do they let you drive back, so you can take ALL your tools? I think I can spend a whole day just lookin at stuff!

Great work!!! Don't know if it would over do it on the truck, but whaddya think about diamond plating behind the upper 2 sections?

And bulletproof!

That is the tranny to have. Trying to get one for my Yota. Gonna put it in the '88?

Push button starter!

SM465, I do believe. 7.0:1 1st gearish! Great find!

What is that bolted on the rear side of your leaf springs? Get'er PB blasted, and post more pics! Good find!
