Long time ago in a planet far far away.

Thanks for checking in Tom! Didn’t realize you were paying attention.

Some quick wins today:

New steering rods and rod ends and a stabilizer:

 

[OGBeno]

New rear shocks (well, used ones I had in my collection). This is a super budget build till the fall when I dial shĩt in.

Shǐtty ones gone.

 

[OGBeno]

New slave…

That’s all for today. It’s hot as fūck.

mission creep.....

 

[OGBeno]

The misery work…. Suspension bushings. Shackles are fũcking seized as fũck…. Ugh. Hammer and acetylene torch comes out…

I like using the white chassis grease on rubber bits…

Sometimes I just want to push this thing off the cliff…

 

[OGBeno]

mission creep.....

Totally. Especially when a truck sits for almost 6 years. It means that every fcking system has to be addressed. And, I stole parts off of it for 5 years-ish.

I’m the poster child on how not to build a truck.

Ya, But if anyone has this you do !!

I would say road salt did more damage than just sitting on those bushing.

Salt roads and sitting in a 100% humidity environment with grass and weeds growing underneath the chassis for a year. Killed this poor truck.

It sat like this for a very long time….

On the vein of under-crust, do you have any plans for rust repair/proofing while it's in the air?

Rattle can baby. This truck is now officially in shïtbox territory. Time to abuse it.

 

[cruiserdan]

...Time to abuse it.

That's been underway for some time...

Flop til ya drop...

 

[bj70bc]

yes!, raw dog, as intended

 

[OGBeno]

Totally. From here on out, when it breaks or gets smashed in, it’s minimal repair beyond what’s needed to get it running good again.



This is my second rodeo with building a truck and then properly destroying it.
