gooses truggy (ROKHOPR)

Goose, A.F. UT.

I've wheeled my 92 yota for about 10 yrs now. Its a never ending project,
but thats part of the fun, I just wish I had a $ tree to support the habbit.

motor- Im still running a 22re 4 cyl. (I'd like to add a supercharger)

trans- stock 5 speed, (one of the only original parts still on the truk)

transfer case- dual cases 2.28 to 4.7 with a disc parking brake on the rear shaft

axles- chevy D60 front with 5.86 gears & ARB

rear D60 with D70 spindles & hardened 35 spline shafts & spool

steering- high steer with hydro assist

suspension- Im a little old school Im still runnin leaves,front&rear
(alcan springs W/orbit eyes) with rancho 9000 shocks
I also run suspension winches front&rear

Wheel base- 122"

tires- 42" Iroks , wheels- 17" X 10" rockathon beadlocks

body armor- Ive also done all of my own tube work, bumper, sliders, doors, bed.

custom bed- the bed is all 1.75" tube. I used Aluminum diamond plate to cover it with.
the diamond plate toolbox is recessed down into the bed.
(I love having all my tools & parts cofined into one space.)
I also mounted a spare rear driveline between the rollbar posts,
just behind the truck box.

winch- I run a Ramsey winch on a reciever, it plugs in front or rear
or from the bed mount on the side of the bed

Favorite trails- living in A.F. UT. I do alot of playing up AF canyon, (mineral basin, forest lake,ect.)
since five mile pass is just up the road, I like going out and playing on rattle
snake & constrictor. and I try to get down to moab as much as I can.

over the weekend I threw some paint on & then put all the alluminum back on.
I also got the hinges mounted for the bed box. now I just need to fab a latch. (still waiting for shocks)

[Goose]

The bed looks awesome!! the truck looks sick lowered down a few more inches too its going to be sick!
I cant wait to see it out of the garage

thanks josh, Im getting excited to test it.

fri, porter & I fabed a latch mechanism & installed a mini gas strutt for the bed box. (you press the hidden latch, & the box lid rises on its own)
I finally got my 16" kings so sat morn port & I started fabbing some tabs & then threw the shocks in for a test fit

After porter flipped it last year, I decided to narrow it a bit...
I guess I never posted any pics...

I narrow it 12"
Got rid of the grille & stock lights...
