yellowbugs build (pic heavy)

10 blaaa.. I have never ran any tire past 16...

If your running around 10 psi I would really watch out so you don't get into a situation like this and then pop a bead and get into a bigger problem

I was lucky I didnt pop mine running at 15 that day

 

[yellowbug]

With these new ones I'll probably stay in the low 20s,


The TSL's loved my rim there was a few times where I thought I would bust a bead but still rolling

 

[yellowbug]

Ok so got the tires early. I was a good boy lol. Here is a pic

lookin good! I never aired my BFGs any lower than 16 when I was in Moab. I got to watch Josh P blow a bead on hell's gate (got stuck in a bad spot while getting pulled by Bill's winch), that sucked pretty bad. I will probably stick to 16psi with my duratracs too. As soon as I actually get a chance to go wheel that is. I miss my yellow X maybe I should just plasti-dip my truck yellow for a while

 

[yellowbug]

That would look cool. I need to line x the can but it'll have to wait.

Ok so I have finally decided on the sas I want to do. Looks like its custom three link for me. I want a Dana hp44 but found a d44 from a waggy with flat top knuckle set up for high steer for a 100 so looks like I might do it instead. I will post a pic once I get it to see what you guys think.

Sweet deal. Can't wait for this to start.

Its going to be a slow build. I want it finished by aug. of next year. Plan is to get and rebuild the axle first. Get rear axle match gears and clean it up. Then the fun part start the 3 link. I figure the truck will be down about a month as long as I already have the axles and tires ready to go under it.

Ok so some of you know of the damage I got on the drivers side rear quarter panel in Nov. If not here is the pics.

So I made some covers for both sides out of some sheet metal to make it to seXTERRA's Toys for Tots Run. Here is the pics.

I so wanted to us the clear ones but I bought two and one was amber and not red when lit so I had to goto walmart and get red ones instead.

On the trail

Now that the ride is over. I am going to go to the local metal stamping shop and get them to stamp me up some pieces to at a small turn signal light and weld it all up and paint it the same color. I am also going to pull that dent out more to make it alittle flatter.

 

[gorillamel]

Interesting fix plan. I like it. Creative.

 

[yellowbug]

I didnt have time to pull dents so next best thing is cover them. I will straighten it out alittle more this month.

 

[TheFauxFox]

Man, these past few months have been rough on your truck... or beneficial, depending on which way you look at it.

 

[NismoFire]

Just gives it more character.

I like the LEDS, they look sharp to me, It'll look sick once you have it all done up the way you want it.
