I just got home. Man.... PHAWKING SWEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO PHAWKING SWEET!

The body is ruff as all hell due to the heavy wheeling Royal Rose and Brian have given it. Ridden hard and out away wet does not even touch it.


Anyway this coming week I will be doing a bunch of needed maintenance and clean up. I will take some photo's tomorrow. Just post here what you want to see and what angles.


PHAWKIN SWEET! :bounce::bounce::bounce2::bounce2::bounce:
 
I don't remember the build so i want some pics!:bounce::bounce::bounce:
 
Ok... the battery in my digital cam was charged and ready to go. Still crappy quality photo's. I really need to replace this thing.


So here the pig is when Royal Rose owned it.

The guy that bought the truck from Brian screwed with the dash. So rather then try and figure out what he phucked up... I am just going to pull the entire dash apart, clean, test, and reconnect everything in their proper place. And I am going to redo the gauge cluster for the cummins.

So you're the one who got her? SUPER cool. Remember when it was first advertised and some goober with 3 posts said "Somebody's real proud of their 55" and then everybody piled on his ass. LOL------Glad she found a home--love the "experimental" sticker.......maybe I should put "detrimental" on mine:p
 
Thanks. :D


The experimental sticker is being scraped of... i thought about just cutting it back to say "mental" haha.....

right now i am cleaning things up.... fixing some small stuff... going thru wiring.... etc.... getting it ready for winter...
 
I just bought... a brand new pair... still in the original toyota parts box.... two brand spankin new.... 70 series turn signals... that are factory OEM... for 35 bucks. :p

Oh and they are new.... never been used kinda new.... in the OEM boxes new... lol :popcorn:

LOOKING GOOD!!! Are you gona put 'em on your 55? I bought some a while back and radiused/modified them to fit on the front of the 55 aprons. I super love the look esp. with the mirrors I have... wasn't gona mount till after paint, but thats a long dead end story for now...
 
yes... they are to go like the 70 series stock location. :)


later today... after I get back up.... I will finish troubleshooting and repairing the turn signal system. Then the emergency flashers.
