Thanks! I’m thinking it would be cool to get an old international 4900 of sorts with the 20’ flatbed on it. Or I’ll just get a tundra and a trailer.
I would be aiming for a Cummins + toy hauler. Load with skinny tires mounted and be self contained for days.
 
It’s obviously a carefully positioned obstacle that could be in any park and Hollister is as likely a location as any.

Nukegoat, is correct its Hollister, Two week ago.It's the Obstacle just before the Coal Chute. I got hung up in the low spot kissed The Driver rear Quarter on the big rock you see behind my Rig in the First Pik. Now it look like the Passenger side.:doh:

baldilocks Looks like the next JV run is going to be around President's Day in Feb. next year. I will keep you posted

Great thread!. I didnt need that hour-and-a-half at work today anyway.....
 
Nice to see you back. Is that the Dana 55 or 60 variant of the super duty front axle. Subed I will be following along.

Its a 60. I couldn't tell you other than I had the bom axle # to go off of. It’s especially hard to tell on those 99-04 axles. I just helped a buddy pickup a 05+ 60 and I’m wishing that I had gone that route like I did on the buggy. 35 spline everything and the bigger axle tubes are nice on the new ones.
 
amazing rig expo max. Definitely want to something like tht. I read the whole thing and would love to see my 94 cruiser like tht. Now if any of you would mind giving me a list with links of what I would need to buy to make this possible I would really appreciate it. I mainly want to do 40s and also keep the cruise on the safe side because my kids are always with me. I don’t do extreme off roading but definitely want 40s. I currently have 3 in ome suspension with ARB from bumper Chinese rear bumper lol. And Yukon air lockers.

I ran 40s with a 3in lift for a while. So all you’d need is tires/wheels. I did the 1” BL also, and that helped reduce the amount of bumpstop extension I needed. But keep in mind with a 3” lift your going to be hitting those rear bumps a lot either way and it really sucks if your on a long trail runs or something. Maybe some cromo front axle shafts too.

Thx for the info max. Really appreciate it. So you definitely recommend doing 40s in stock diffs. I honestly don’t do no where near what you do. I saw you did a 3 link towards the end. Any chance you can send me a link as where I can get all tht? I would really appreciate it. I’ve own a 80 for a while but new to all this modes I hear you guys talking about. And I want to make mine as right as possible.
 
Google about truss welding. Its very difficult to do correctly without warping axle tubes. Im guessing you used a 110v mig. Those welds are cold. You can do what you want but I don't think in any objective sense those are good welds.
All joking aside the dude is out in his shop getting it done and having fun. It’s his rig be proud for him even though the welds are not up to standard… he is learning like we all did
