Is it just me or does everyone need more space??

[NOTATOY]

I need more space and time to finish all of my crazy projects.

To start off I got a doner tracker for some parts to finish up some things on my wifes Sidekick project, and finally got it out of my garage tonight. My runner has been neglected since 193KYLE and I started a minitruck project for my little brother, and I haven't had a spare weekend for a month to go wheeling. I think I need to take on one project at a time so I can get something finished.

Sidekick started out as a 2wd, that quickly became 4wd by linking it front and rear with yota axles; Front is a 3 link with panhard bar, and rear is single triangulated 4 link both running TG creeper joints and 14" x 175lb coils. Running stock 4:10's with a genuine quick lock rear locker for now. Eventually Skippy at TCharged performance is going to help build this thing a turbo kit.

S-10 Minitruck has now been backhalved, reveresed canatevered 4 linked, bagged all the way around, custom tubular upper and lower control arms, tubbed out firewall to lay out on 20's, stretched the whole wiring harness, eliminated the abs, redid most of brake lines/ fuel lines, raised gas tank, smaller brake boosted, relocated toyota clutch master cyl to clear front tire, tubbed out bed, 2 viair compressors, 8 valves, 4 switches.......... you get the point. I think building minitrucks right is more work that a crawler

So here are some progress pics on all the shizzz

 

[NOTATOY]

Since the runner was feeling neglected I had to do a little urban wheeling before the doner was hauled off to the scrap yard. I'm glad my neighbors put up with my noise and according to my wife my childish behavior

Supprisingly I pulled almost on top of the roof and didn't even crack the windshild, I barely dented the outside of the pillar... tough little guys

 

[193kyle]

Haha, you need to see my garage right now. It turns out, trucks take up about 8 times more space when they are completely disassembled. i can barely walk in there.

 

[NOTATOY]

It was really nice to get rid of the Tracker, now I just need to degrease where the pig puked oil and reorganize things

 

[NOTATOY]

Oh by the way the trackers ebrake disengaged and I had to jump in it and turn the key so I didn't roll into Eddys house. I was standing behind it taking out the back seat, as I undid the last bolt the thing fell forward and landed on the ebrake. scared the sh$#@ out of me. It ended up rolling past Jims house and then I pushed it back. SOOOO redneck I know. (BANJO MUSIC)

 

[193kyle]

Hahahaha, and I thought I was white trash with torn apart cars in my driveway. At least I'm not chasing them down the street.

 

[NOTATOY]

I wasn't chasing it, it tried to run me over and I jumped in, but the rear seat was on the ebrake. So I had to get the key on and turn the wheels before I ended up on Eddys TJ. It was hilarious, but scared the crap out of me . At least it was late and nobody was out:busted:

I love lifted sidekicks, and trackers! That S10 is cool, but not my style.

 

[NOTATOY]

I had been wanting to build a Kick for quiet a while, and my buddy just happened to buy one at the salvage auction. I was glad it was a 2wd because it was a lot cheaper to do gears in a sami case then a kick case, and could go a lot lower. The Samis divorced tcase stub shaft slid right into the 2wd tranny, I guess it wanted to be a 4wd.

I figured that the S-10 wasn't most peoples style on here, but I love anything custom. There has been tons of custom fab work on it, and I hope people can appreciate the fab and time that goes into it. I will always love minitrucks, even my crawler has airbags for the front suspension just trying to keep it a little mini style

 

[Gravy]

that mini is ridiculous. lots of fab into that one for sure!

saw the tracker at the DATC show earlier this year. nice work on that one too!

 

[NOTATOY]

After that DATC show was your JEEPS doom.. hahaha I wish I would have went out with you to Mini Moab. I hope your new projects coming along well

 

[Gravy]

ya I drove it over to tera yesterday to check clearances on the ramp... first time I moved it in a month.

I swear I swept up 6 pounds of crap off the floor of the shop when I finally rolled it out today

I always need more room in there... argh...

 

[NOTATOY]

I know the feeling, building trucks I spend as much time sweeping as I do grinding and welding. I can't stand working in a cluttered, messy garage.

Today was the first time my trucks moved in a month too, so I had to cruise it around the block a few times to try to get rid of the notorious Super Swamper flat spots.

 

[Coco]

Ya, the mini is definately cool, and has tons of time into it, get it to jump then you got my attention!

That why my latest home purchase was not not a hill. And I do most the electrical work for my neighbors for free so they will put up with my junk yard..... and racing up and down the street with all my offroad projects.

 

[big cherokee]

congrats on getting the samurai out of the shop,

i just wish i had the set up you got over there jake alot of fun,

we need to get out wheeling before the rain really comes.

I know I shouldn't have bought this house because of the driveway, but couldn't pass up the deal. I am always working in the driveway and have never had that problem, just kind of a freak experience
