Thanks Justin, get ahold of me when you get the chance we'll catch up.

you guys need to see this 4-Runner errr Explorer in person


Seriously though, it looks freaking awesome. Kristy was like DAYUM! I can't wait until its out on the trails. So Jon, CLEAN THE FAWKING GARAGE AND GET TO WORK!

Hey I've been working on it, just slowly. I'm going through and fixing all my junky tools and redoing the wiring and running air lines. Trying to do it all right the first time,instead of doing my usual bullshit and rigging it all up.

 

[86 slo-vo]

Air lines are done in the garage minus a few fittings from the tank to the lines but I rigged it with some random stuff to test everything out.

but alas I'm still waiting on the electric company to come set a new meter. I've been waiting 3 weeks now. The first 2 weeks was them looking for my inspection paper work, I called and bitched and they said they couldn't find it. I ran downtown and picked a new one up and had it to them in 30 minutes. Now it's been another week and I still haven't seen them, at 9:00 am I'm going to be ringing the shit out of their phone until its done holidays or not it's bullshit.

So hopefully by the weekend I can get some progress going again.

Hey slo-vo, build looks awesome! This is another good build I've missed out on while not being able to have the internet.

Although usually the chopped explorers/cherokees/other suvs I've seen have usually been a result of a wreck or rollover, yours is looking good!

Thanks, I figured there's a good chance of flopping it or rolling.....so I might as well cut it now :laughing:

He got fancy!

 

[Josh40601]

i heart your garage. One day i will get to that point....

 

[86 slo-vo]

Buy mine so I can build a bigger one :laughing: I need about a 60x80 and I'd be happy as a clown.

I've seen what you produce out of there all cramped up! You get a 60x80 & you'll have your own TV show & shit! And we both know even that isn't big enough!

 

[86 slo-vo]

Yup if I were to have a 60x80 after about 2 weeks I'd already be drawing up plans for a 80x100.

 

[86 slo-vo]

The meter was put in yesterday, i guess the didn't like what I had to say lol

Should be able to get some wire ran tonight and hopefully done mid weekend.

FedEx says my springs should be in tomorrow.

 

[86 slo-vo]

FedEx left a tag on my door they need a signature so hopefully they will be back Monday as I don't think they deliver on Saturdays. I'd go get them but as I discovered today FedEx express and FedEx ground are 2 seperate companies..... Guess which one we have in town. Again

But I did get alot done in the garage, wiring is almost complete and the expo should be ready to move either Sunday or Monday so I can get back to work.

 

[86 slo-vo]

Woooo!
