Aww I was hoping it rolled haha.
I like all the lights y'all have for night wheeling!
Yea, we usually do a LOT of night wheeling. I got there at 7pm yesterday and the sun was gone this time of year and left around 2am.
We go to Clayton OK. and do some day runs, then come back to camp and eat and rest then go back out and keep wheeling till we are all to tired or are to broke to continue on. So the lights under the rigs are a must for even getting an idea of what may be hiding in the shadows (a lot still hides!). I have always enjoyed night wheeling.
There is video of my wheelie and break floating around someplace that I am trying to find / get them to post up. When they do I will put it here.
All and all I had a good night. I beat the hell out of the truck last night and it just took it. Exhaust hanger came loose again, and my right rear shock mount came loose (I didnt get good penetration when I welded it on, my fault, I knew it was a cold weld when I did it too...
)
Transmission lost 3rd gear a couple of weeks ago (knew something was about to happen) but I really thought first was gonna be the one to go by the way it was acting. So when I drop it I may swap the transfer case for a Dana 300 or a NP205 (wanting something stronger that the 3 speed case under there) if I can find an adapter to mate up to my toybox then also may pull the motor for my 350 (if I finish it in time) and do a shackle reversal and wheel base stretch up front and put the Dana 60 under it. May wait on the full hydro to save funds and get it all together sooner and see if a saginaw pump will help my ram assist with keeping up better. With the leafs up front I will go all the way forward as I can on the frame which is about 3 inches or so, hopefully it will be worth the effort for the small stretch. Then 4 linking the rear will be next.
Only thing that will be the same when I got it at that point will be the body and cage for the most part. outside that, it will have all new (or pretty much) running gear, engine, possible transfer case, axles, new rear suspension, and re doing the front entirely by out boarding the springs and stretching it out. I will also set the front up for some long shackles for lots of droop. if no 4 link in rear I will lop off the shackle hangers and move them as well for some nice long shackles and lots of droop there too as the rear really does lack in the flex department. It makes it really hard to follow linked trucks when still running the most basic spring over setup you can for suspension. Dont get me wrong, I get it there (or damn close!) but it does take some more work and time on my part and finding that perfect line that the truck will bite on and make it climb up. also all the guys I run with all run 42's and one or 2 on 43's so I am pretty much the smallest tired rig right now too, so big under cut ledges give me some issues.
