my camping/trail truck

[pickuptrucker]

with stock tires when i got it (and sweet curb flex) :

better tires:

and my bumper i just finished building:

thats all i have done for now. im currently working on a light bar (hoop style like cab guard) that will have a matching hoop in the back to carry a canoe with. then i'll get to the lift and everything. i also have 4.10's to put with a locker (i got both for 150 i love cl!)

tell me what you think

aw shucks i think i have to convert image types...

 

[pickuptrucker]

Looks good though! Nice 3rd gen.

 

[pickuptrucker]

Offroading in a 2wd... You must be crazy...

Nice truck man... 4" of lift would do that truck good. RC lift is nice and cheap for 2wd's... or the econo Bent beam.

4.10s and a locker / L/s in that will make a huge difference offroad.

fixed it for ya. heh

 

[pickuptrucker]

yeah im looking around for some xj coils to use,i have the 4wd lift blocks from a junk yard, and i will probably do 1" or so shackle and end up with 3-4" lift in back and 5-6 in front

ok i have some updates, i finished my light bar/canoe rack. only the front is on there right now. also started the bed bobbing procces, and as you can see i have a long way to go. to fix the spring-behind-frame deal i will either three link it (gas tank permiting) or move the hangers forward and flip the springs around. i also added rock sliders, which through field testing are determined to be high lift proof and stump proof. very good protection. i may add more bracing and also a second tube like i have seen on others but that would be in the future. the tool box was made by a class mate, spring term is project term and the teacher had another kid make it as he didn't have his own project to work on. i conviced the teacher to give it to me for free

it has a hinge and lock that need rivited on, just haven't had time yet. i am currently working on securing a dana 44/30 and cunstruciton job. once i get those things should be under way

pics:

tell me what you think!

that is way bobbed. it looks pretty cool but now you need to figure out what to do with the back of the frame. and cool box.

i am not so sure about the bed bobbing , but you really do need some lift man , what brand tires are those ?

 

[pickuptrucker]

they are wild cat ext's, from less schwab. 30x9.50-15, 30$ plus free jeep rims i painted. lift will come soon, i promise!
