Hey Sean I think that guy lied to you about "like new" and being "babied" ...

Yeah, the story about the dents being from shopping carts hitting it at the mall just might not be true...

 

[Silverback]

.. Oh I knew what I was getting. Its dented but under the covers its still a brute. Only things I'm replacing are upgrades and fixing things I've broken.

Speaking of upgrades.. USPS dropped me off my "new to me" front hub and a little Sky Offroad loving today in the form of a chromoly pitman arm bored out for 3/4" hardware. 7/8'ths heim steering setup (1.5" x .25" wall DOM, heat and cryo treated SS heims, SS misalignment spacers and weld in hex head bungs) should be here Friday. Might get that installed this weekend.

Some daylight pics of the new Raisin hauler. Somewhat matches the Taco with its silver and black theme. I want to pressure wash the decking and see about covering it with some texture/grit paint.

Damn..

 

[Mauzer]

Nice, so I guess you won't have to ride up the fenders anymore

 

[Silverback]

Exactly.. not until I go tons and 44's

 

[drew02a]

Damn, that thing is LONG






That's what she said

 

[Silverback]

Its an 18'er. Its 2' longer than my old one. Its also a lot heavier!

You could almost put 2 on it if you parked them right, huh?

Sounds like taco is going to need a supercharger

 

[Silverback]

word!!

Nahh.. its really just the addition of the dovetail section that makes it longer than before. But it is wider and the frame is stronger. Although it does look long in the pics maybe I'll go measure it.

And ZR1 brakes!!!

Probably need a Dana 60 or equal at some point as well.

Oh you mean like my '64 3/4 ton pu or '77 suburb one ton!!!

 

[Silverback]

Yeah.. might just be cheaper to buy one of those.
