Josh40601's Build Thread. (D-ranged)

[Josh40601]

got some work done this weekend on the ol truck. Replaced all 4 balljoints, and changed out the gear oil in the front diff. Now i gotta re-align it since the last time it was aligned it was with all the blown out junk.

I also got the stereo that i took out of the Camaro before i sold her and got it put into the truck. Nothing too crazy, just 2 10's and an MTX 1501.D amp. Perfect for rock and country music.

Figured out what was up with my winch.... Just a grounded out battery cable. Works great again now.

Going out to Corral Canyon this saturday. I'll Try not to break anything.

Where do you fit 2-10's without losing all your cab space!? Lol.

Well, they just finished making the two new trails, so i am trying to get the guys to go on it. Although the connector (the black diamond section of bronco peak) will most likely be ran too. I love showing the Jeep guys a Ford can make it.

when you remove everything from the ext cab portion, there is plenty of room. I have a compressor, battery, 2 10's, amp, tools, and junk all back there.

i got a harley for that

Get your power steering issue figured out?


2 tens, nice flat useable space.... I threw a chunk of heavy cardboard overtop of them and it made a flat load floor from the seat to the back of the cab.

 

[Josh40601]

yea, just waiting on the cooler to get here. Ordered the kit through Poly Performance. It was only 37 bucks shipped and comes with everything. I will have that installed before wheeling too. Its going to ORW to get the E-Brake cables hooked up. Shipping company told me i couldn't ship it until it has an E-Brake.

That is damn close to what mine looks like, although i have mine facing the back of the seats. Probably isn't as loud, but it works.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Mind if I ask what it's gonna cost to ship it across the country?

I like my setup better when they fired towards the back cab wall, but having the flat raised floor keeps the shih-tzu (shitsu) much happier.... and no matter how small the dog, they don't ride in the front seat with me. And it gave me more usable back seat space then before.

 

[Josh40601]

around 900 bucks. Was going to cost over 400 for the penske trailer, and i dont even think it will fit on it. That isn't even including gas. So shipping it is becoming a much more viable option.

Wait.... You have a shih-tzu? Judged.....

 

[wahlstrom1]

GF has a Shih-tzu.. it just rides in the truck from time to time, I had a purebred black lab. It's a goof..... but very well behaved for a small dog, if it was yappy I would have punted it a long time ago...

Thats not too bad for shipping, fuel would be fairly expensive.....

 

[Josh40601]

Ok. Now its not as bad. lol

Yea, probably 200-300 extra in fuel if i pulled it with the penske truck

 

[railman]

Wait.... You have a shih-tzu? Judged.....

hmmmmm....I have one too....wanna judge me now.......

I love the little bugger to death.....

too bad he is getting old......

l8r, John

Your getting a PS pump cooler right?

I saw the one at Poly Performance and I thought about getting one, tell me how it works cause last time I went wheeling mine puked everywhere and was screaming at me.

 

[3.0ranger1227]

Should be a fun little trip. My truck was never built to tackle Corral Canyon. We did the loop and she made it but I was a little worried.

I'd be up there if I had a truck like yours.

I got the 4 pass one. Its tiny, but should work really well. I'll let you know after this trip. I smoked my stock one (boiled the fluid twice) and got the siginaw hot, so a PS cooler is a must on this sucker. Thank goodness i didn't burn up the siginaw pump though.

I took mine around the loop when it was stock. I have only ran two trails out there. Bronco Peak and Sidewinder. Sidewinder is a square trail and most of Bronco is too. Just the one section at the end is black diamond. I just wish the tree at the bottom of the hill wasn't there.
