Beef's Work and Play Build!!!!!

[Beef52751]

I ordered the spring/pin kit tonight, lock right will hopefully go in next week!!!

 

[Beef52751]

Got the lockright in last week, everything seems good, i'll pull the cover after a few hundred miles and double check everything.

How you liking the locker?

Hey Beef, when I get the 94's new motor in I know a place to go wheeling its owned by my grandfather mud, trees, a creek, and the river is close by. oh I also finally blew the 5 cylinder 4.0 too, three days of almost straight wheeling finally did it in,plus mud, lots of mud lol.

 

[Beef52751]

loving the lockright. kinda different on icy roads but not in a bad way, just took some getting used to.

Funnyman, let me know when you get it in and running, i'll be sure to come down this summer and go wheel, i think we are getting a group together to go to "Cliffs" in illinois this spring/summer too, let me know if your interested in going.

 

[Funnyman141]

I might go with you to the cliffs, it depends on how everything goes, and if I don't break anything else lol. wow its three hours and 15 minutes away for me, might have to trailer it the way I play , and glad to hear you liking the lockright

 

[Beef52751]

yeah, about the same distance for me too. how far is your place from mine?

 

[Funnyman141]

2 hours and 15 minutes between us, 123 miles and I found a another park thats a little closer for me lol, its about three hours away for you though, only 45 minutes for me. Gooseholler ATV Park its in Missouri. it also has a 300' drag strip too

 

[Beef52751]

sweet, i need to get a trailer so i can haul this thing around this summer....or get to work and make it a little more reliable and comfortable so i can just drive it. LOL, i am buying an 86 Ext. Cab 2wd for parts, was in a front end wreck. If you need any parts for your 87 let me know.

On a side note, i stumbled upon some unexpected money this week and need to decide what to do with it, im thinking getting my steering figured out. I found a new Super Runner kit for 350 which i think is a pretty good price, im just not sure if super runner is the way to go??? Or if i should do the responsible thing and spend it on remodeling my house........unlikely but always an option

 

[Funnyman141]

what motor is in the 86? hmmmm.... I wonder if the cab will fit on my frame.....uh-oh i'm getting ideas now, lol I'll pm you a list of what it needs and we can work out a deal.

if the super runner kit is complete and the rangers steering is really that bad I would say go for it, on the other hand is the remodeling the house just for looks, or more like walls, insulation, and windows type of remodeling, if its for looks I say got for the steering, if its to make the house easier to heat, cool and such, I'd go for the remodeling. happy choosing, lol.

Oh I might also get my hands on a dana 35 ttb, and a dana 44 if everything works out great, you still looking for one?

:EDIT:I think you should strip off what you want and I'll look through whats left, the 87 need a lot. LOL :/EDIT:

 

[Beef52751]

the steering is F'ed, but we are redoing 2 bathrooms, insulation, drywall, flooring, showers, tub, etc...... Its stupid expensive but it needs to be done pretty bad
and then we are insulating and redrywalling the entire downstairs except the kitchen
Gotta love being a new home owner

 

[Funnyman141]

ouch, I would go with remodeling then, and at your least truck is driving, Liz is still down because the spare 4.0 is revealing little problems as we put it together, like a couple cracked injectors, stripped return fuel line, and more.

 

[Beef52751]

1 step forward 2 steps back....pulled the turbo off my 'Stroke tonight, it fubar. Bye bye extra cash.....and then another 1,000.

 

[Funnyman141]

wow, that sucks a lot dude, is the 86 drivable? if it is you'll be in the same boat I'm in, driving your project truck lol

 

[Beef52751]

yeah, the 86 runs great....usually. and i have a pos saturn i drive back and forth to work so i still have vehicles to drive.
