Customizing My Trail Rig

[Kona]

Nothing to major, yet! I am having fun so far, there are no pictures of the mechanical stuff or the bumper and winch install unfortunately. Hmm, what have I done, lots of little crap, stuff under the truck gets to come later. So I got this truck in November 07 with a cap, not having had a truck before I left it on for a few weeks, then it came off for good.

The front slip yoke was pooched so $600 later... my local 4X4 was richer, then the usual plugs wires etc. Did not sound ...well young, so Y pipe back with a Flowmaster 40 Running rich...bleh thermostat, temp sender for PCM and o2 sensor. Got a nice bushguard and some winter tires.

Changed back to A/T's after the winter and put some lights on and started 4X4 ing.

The A/T 's let me down, a 3 inch lip at the end of the mud hole stopped me cold. Less then a week later I had BigFoot X/T tires which fixed the problem. Nerf's rattled...gone. I thought if I get stuck a winch might be handy . So a winch bumper was found. Oh only 62" s on the ramp .

Costco supplied a Champion 10000 lb winch for $400, got a toolbox to put the rigging in, so now I just need to try it out..........

Now I have to get that visor I got for $40 painted to match my truck......

Nice looking truck

Love a hooked up 2nd gen.

Where'd you get the winch bumper?

I need one of those!

 

[Kona]

Freeride, though I ride a Norco now not a Kona. I got the winch bumper out of the buy and sell , I think it is a old Warn one.
