You DFW area guys can do it pretty easy. Not too many folks near me. Need to grow the group I guess. Need to go wheel and meet folks to get them to sign up and stay.

Austin is just a quick trip down the road for me. The expensive part of my Austin trips is the beer haul home.

Well damn. Hurry and build the other truck

Think he is still waiting on the garage bay to open up first. Then we move forward with the Retro Expo build.

Im just here for build of the 81. I was telling Zech yesterday that I need to make an Austin beer run.
Knowing Sean he already has the parts bookmarked or in his cart somewhere so just go ahead and click a few more times and set a meet date.

 

[tx_shooter]

x2 I need a good excuse for an Austin beer run. A wrench meet would fit the bill nicely.

LOL.. maybe in April. Goin on a cruise in 5 weeks so can't do anything before. And BIL is supposed to be buying the trail rig by mid-March. Then I'll order up some parts.

Placed here for inspiration

...or maybe a 'go fast' model.

LOL.. all very good motivational images. I've already got a plan for the paintjob.. its retro and I think Ironman would approve. Motor will stay the 22R (weber and header) but it needs some cleaning up so new plug wires, cap rotor, and the GM 1 wire kit. Need to get the door panels redone, finish installing the stereo and new seats (hate the seats). Would also like to look into getting rid of the push pull steering but from what I remember you have to have a 3" lift to do so. So that will be something to look into as I don't really want to lift it. Its on 31's and they work fine. Also need to replace the rear main seal and when I do that 5 speed I picked up from Zech will be going in. Plus I want to build bumpers and sliders for it. Maybe do 4.7's in the t-case when I have it out? So its a work in progress. Lockers F&R would be awesome.

 

[Silverback]

Something like these.. but other colors.



And I love this thing.

 

[Silverback]

Oh and I need a 4WD oil pan. The 2WD pan got self clearanced.

 

[tx_shooter]

Yes to a 3" lift if you do the steering upgrade unless you notch the frame. Looks like it is getting ready for a build thread.

 

[taco4x4rar]

Would be a good candidate for a 4wheelunderground link setup then you could set ride height where ever you wanted

 

[tx_shooter]

Linking the front? That would be awesome.

 

[TacoXpo]

This is the kind of thread that gets wallets to bleed!

 

[Silverback]

LOL. Yeah a linked front would be sweet. Throw some Diamonds under it. Maybe a 5.3 as well. Hey it's only money. .

 

[tx_shooter]

Do it right the first time and enjoy it the rest of your days (until you sell it for 1/3 of what you have in it).

 

[Silverback]

Exactly.

Do it right the first time and enjoy it the rest of your days (until you sell it for 1/3 of what you have in it).

rofl hopefully by then I'll have enough cash to buy it.

 

[tx_shooter]

It would make a real sweet daily driver for work. Is it too early to start a waiting list for when it sells it?
