What have you done to your ride lately?

[Silverback]

LOL... I wish that was my full time job. Hell I'd be happy if she wanted me to just build her one.

Did you just say rear-engined-diesel-buggy?

 

[Silverback]

Like the one on Extreme 4x4? Damn I wish.

I am glad my wife doesn't want me to build her an off-road truck.......then I would have to take her wheeling with me. What a kill joy. Instead I think I will buy her the new mini van she is on my ass about so that she can't say anything about me spending money building my own.

 

[Silverback]

LOL.. thats another way to look at it.

 

[Anathollo]

Thanks Michael... I think I'll pass.

I don't blame you at all. Lol

I don't blame you. Mine is cool sometimes & annoying other times. I wouldn't go back to an OEM muffler but I would go with a not quite as loud aftermarket.

Yep, I couldn't have said it any better. Anytime I have someone in the car andthe radios off, its annoying as hell. But when it's just me it's fine.
If I ever put another muffler on, it'll be a magnaflow or something quieter. I like the way Andy's truck sounds.

Well I ordered some goodies for Clyde today... 36/13.50x15 bias ply Swamper Iroks, Sky Offroad t-case e-brake kit and a 4xInnovations DOM passenger length roll cage. My debit card is smoking at the moment. I'll probably look into some suspension components and a t-case crossmember/skid but I'll wait until I get the tires mounted to see exactly how much lift I'll need. I have a good idea, but I don't want to go too high.

Badass man! If ya need any help lemme know!

Hell ya I'll need help. I'm gonna try to get it all (minus suspension upgrades) done before HF on the 23rd... but my parents will be in town over the 17th weekend so that will limit my wrenching.. but hell they just came to see the baby so maybe the won't care that I'm out in the garage.

 

[thekidcatcher]

haha sounds good man. Ill be free whenever ya need me

 

[SecretSquirrel]

Drove it into a sinkhole.


Put it into locked 4L and got out though.
Got a metric shitton of dirt and rock to get out of my bumper though.

 

[TacoXpo]

Like the one on Extreme 4x4? Damn I wish.

That's the one I had in mind!!! What were those, 54's or some some?!!!

 

[AlienXtx]

Yeah I think they are 54's, the cage on it's kinda ugly but the concept is fucking awesome. With that duramax and the rockwells it's going to be a beast.

 

[tex]

I am going to put my TOR sticker on today and mount a new trailer light plug where 1 of the license plate is. It's not much but at least I will in the garage enjoying this nice weather.

 

[AlienXtx]

Pulled my catch can and put the pcv tube back on, now I can take my truck in in the morning.

 

[kinetik873]

I put my winch on and am trouble shooting why I can't winch out

 

[drew02a]

Can you winch in?

 

[kinetik873]

Yeah, and I can manually pull line out without an issue. My wiring us good, I've had 3 sets of eyes check it. I'm wondering if it's not the controller.

 

[Silverback]

Is it a new winch or used? Probably a solenoid in the pack. You can check power going to the winch in forward and reverse to see if its getting power. Chances are that its not in the one direction.. but it will let you know that the winch itself is good. Those solenoid packs do go back periodically. Who makes it?

 

[kinetik873]

I picked up a NIB Smittybilt XRC 10 for $300 from a guy my dad knows. (I want a warn but being a poor college kid sucks right now.) I am going to check the connections tomorrow at work. I'll keep you updated on what I find.
