I got the truck July 21st 2005

2 days latter I used the bed

K&N used it to make intakes

I got the first batch of spacer lifts that calmini shipped.

This was the first frontier I played with the I meet off TUNFS

this what it looks like next to a taco

 

[mustard23]

Me playing with some exploders

this were it started to get fun
SLR used my truck and Xterra to prototype a mid travel kid based on the titan arms

stage one

 

[mustard23]

stage 2

first time using it

2nd time I took it

deployed my air bag, and bent a spindle.

random other shots the next few years are a blur

 

[mustard23]

and if you use your imagination you can picture my truck at the shop because my fabricator can't find the charging cable for his camera. But is now stripped, and they found 20 AAA batteries and crap load of sand under my seats. Shocks have been ordered and tomorrow he picks up a ford 9 inch for it.

 

[mustard23]

yeah is pulling my 9 inch today.. I can't wait to get home and have her done.

 

[nizmut]

He building a junkyard 9 for you? what width?

 

[mustard23]

yeah he was tring to figure out if it was chaeper to pull a junk yard and truss it or get an after market one.

 

[nizmut]

If he can go on a half off day they are about $100. Then you need new axles, disc brakes, r&p, master kit, and your diff(detroit, truetrack, spool)

If you are going to run 35 spline, I think you can get away with the stock center section. But not sure40 spline you need the nodular, because they have bigger side bearings.

So for 100 bucks you get a housing and case. Throw the brakes out because they charge for them, should save a few bucks. Having the axles is nice, so you can measure for the new ones. Plus you can throw a couple ford wheels on there and have a roller.

 

[mustard23]

yeah he was out searching for econolines but didn't find any. I'm going to run Currie axles and lunch box in it, not sure what 3rd he is going to put in it.

[mustard23]

grenaded a CV. rebuilt the other CV, burnt a clutch tore up wiring harness, broken ABS line, bent a spindle, and blew an AC blower motor, guess they don't work when filled with sand.

I need to bug my builder for pics..

 

[mustard23]

update from builder..

front sheetmetal is all gone, interior is stripped, a-pillars are kinda mocked in, a/c will be kept.
getting the rearend fit up, wishbone is mainly 1.75"x.120 wall w/ a couple pcs. of 1.5"x.120 wall DOM
lower links are 2" x .250 wall DOM. they should be pretty bash-proof

 

[mike]

Will you be using stock titan half shaft?

 

[nizmut]

I doubt that, I would guess at least 3 inches wider.

 

[roastbeef]

single shear heims for the lowers? or are you not done yet?

 

[mustard23]

Will you be using stock titan half shaft?

nope new axle, and 930 CVs.

I doubt that, I would guess at least 3 inches wider.

yeah will be 5.5 to 6 inch over.

single shear heims for the lowers? or are you not done yet?

It's far from done it's still in the mock up and cycle stage.

 

[mustard23]

the PRG kit that is out is 5.5 over a side and that was what Fiberwerx used to make there front clip.


and todays update tires.. I'm getting some Nitto Terra Grappler... trading some parts for them.

 

[AlMeRicK]

wich brand are those uca and lca?

 

[mustard23]

SLR but he is out of business. My builder is making new ones that will be available in a kit that will be 5.5-6" over per side.

 

[NISLO]

the lower bars mounted on the outside of frame rails gives me an idea. you gonna run a fuel cell in the bed? looks like the tank won't fit anymore because of wishbone.
