"THE RED TIDE" build up
This is my build up thred for "The Red Tide" 
figured id start a build thread of my own for the new 80
What better place to star then to name the truck, your all probably wondering how this truck got its name well when Rick and I went to buy the truck off its owner i asked him if it had a name since they had owned it since it was new, he replied "AppleLucy" I replied "oh what a cool name ill use that too" later on On or way to pick up the truck at Toyota we were joking how Corney the name was an Rick just blurted out "How about The Red Tide" Perfect! 
for those of you who live under a rock and dont know what red tide is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tide
first step on the build was to get the axles sand blasted and ready for some paint...

Cool name.
No offense, but shouldn't you take all that stuff apart before sandblasting it? Seems like now it's gonna have sand crammed in all the "nooks and crannies".

i was thinking the same thing  i plan to do an axle rebuild on the front just wanted to keep the contamination to a minimum so i just left everything on. The rear is sealed up tite so no worries there, also plan on rebuilding the front and rear breaks

I hate red tide. literally, not your truck. that stuff gets in your suit and in places nothing should be able to get into. intersting name for a cruiser though I guess thats what cruiser projects do.

Looks like you are off to a good start Nat. How much did it cost to have the axle sand blasted?

Nice build! Just catching up to this now.
