Steve you have to get it done, you need to show me around that should be all the motivation you need.

- wire lockers
- trim rear fenders
- install sliders
- install mudflaps
- install rear bumper (4 bolts, shouldn't take long)
- find some leaf springs
- add a leaf or two to the front
- tons of little odds and ends

I just spent the last couple hours taking it on the freeway and around town. This thing drives really nice. It's looking like it's going to get me to moab no problem. I still need to add a leaf or two to the front pack to keep it off the bump stos, but other than that it rode really well. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[airmanwilliams]

see. nothing to worry about. your the man steve.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I can't seem to find any leafs. THe local junkyard wants $100 per pack, which is rediculous.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I weighed the truck today, and with me and my dog in it (and a few tools) it came out to 3990 lbs. Not as bad as I thought it'd be.

 

[airmanwilliams]

somebody has to have some and can help you out just post in the wanted. Ill see if I can ask around and get some from a buddy.

steve i have some leafs on my runner that you can have but i dont know how to get them to you unless you can drive up here tonight, im taking them off after work and starting the runner build up.....chop chop grind grind, bend bend, and weld weld is what i will be doign for the next month or more, so if you can come get the leafs

 

[sixstringsteve]

nice. I think I have a source for leafs, but if it falls through, I'll have Brandon pick 'em up and bring 'em down to me, and I"ll installl them in moab.

 

[iamsparticus]

sounds good

 

[sixstringsteve]

thanks so much for the offer.

 

[Marsh99]

I have a ton of leafs @ my house... yota rears, fronts, mazda's... random ones. let me know

 

[sixstringsteve]

i didn't get it all done last night, so I'm scrambling to get it done this morning. When it's ready to go, I'll be heading for moab. See you guys there soon.

 

[airmanwilliams]

[sixstringsteve]

It did extremely well in moab. I haven't uploaded the pics yet, but they'll be coming soon.

 

[Panos]

come on, lets see pics. What trails did you run?

 

[Marsh99]

Launch Pad (golden spike)

 

[sixstringsteve]

we did hells, strike ravine, the first little part of minor thread (unknowingly), and golden spike.

I didn't take as many pics as I should have, and most of the pics of my truck are from other people.
