Lookin good. Mine was the same color with wood grain and a cheesy roof rack when I got it in 1994. The vinyl was also on the tailgate on mine. I'll have to scan and post an old photo. I'm not a chrome fan, I like what you've done with yours.
 
Looks good Patrick! Looks to be sitting a lot more level, did you do anything other than shoes?

Thanks Danny! And yeah! I got a 12H-T, 5-speed gearbox, eaton electric lockers (Front and rear) since I had like $13K burning a hole in my pocket... I wish haha :(
Nope just tires for now, still looking into the caster shims ;)
 
Haha! Had me goin for a second. Need to get some dirt under those clean tires! Of course, so do I. Hopefully this weekend I can get some dirt/ trail time!

Eaton doesn't make e-lockers for our axles.

Forgot to mention I stuck new DANA axles under the truck as well... Lol.

Thanks everyone for te comments, I was surprised how that tires could make it look so much more badass haha.

hehhehe that spare looks cute
and it looks soo nice man, im jealous

Yeah well at least I have a spare tire hehe ;)

I'm thinking about getting an old 33x10.5 to mount under there. I'm pretty sure people have said they fit nicely?
 
Dude Patrick that thing looks bad***!!! We need to round up everyone and go hit a trail some time. I went to Beasley Knob last weekend and it's pretty sick, but a loooooooooong drive for me.
 
Hell yeah Asher, Im down whenever for some trail time :D

Looks great! I really like that woodgrain, something unique for sure. I hope you like those tires, I have a set and I feel they are the best tires I've ever had on a truck. Aside from how good they look, they are fantastic offroad.

What did it end up being? I didn't see a resolution in your scary wobble thread... Shame on you haha!

Wait for meeeee! ;) Don't know of any Land Cruisers around here. Everybody in my town drives a Jeep.
 
Went wheeling yesterday aaaaaaaaaand... got stuck... immediately.


Stefon, ExpoGeorgia here on mud, told me to ride the sides. I, being a dumb ass, decided to fall in and bottom out on the middle plateau.


Parents to the rescue...

Say what you will about Hummers being off road, i couldn't care less, its been good to us for as long as we've had it :)

My dad saying something hilarious.. or getting really really angry for having to bring that thing down a comically tight trail? Probably the latter haha

Looking on with my tail between my legs..


Pulling from the front didn't work, all it did was dig the u-bolt plates deeper into the mud, so dad was forced to go down an even tighter trail and try giving me a tug from the rear.
(Stefon and I, spotting for him. Dad driving like a BOSS haha)


Lets try this again...




...Nope :bang:


The exit, only 100ft ahead, tantalizingly close..


My dad deciding its a good time to sneak away (with me still stuck), trying to do a 49,000 point turn haha


The cavalry has arrived!
2006 F-250


About 30 seconds later and 10 metric tons of black diesel smoke later :clap:
I'M FREE!!!


Trail looks harmless enough..


Dads turn. made sure to keep the Ford there just in case.


But he makes it, first try no warm up.


I really really REALLY hate mud!


Time for a bath..


Very exciting day overall, wasn't expecting to get stuck and start a party down there. Even my parents had a good time. it was their first experience on the trails and they want a lot more of it haha. Now my moms looking into getting a nice 40, she's not really into the 100s or 200s, thinks they're too soccer momish, and she's no soccer mom, she loves big trucks, the H2 is hers haha.

PS: Toyo MTs performed very very well before and after the stuck. Extremely pleased with my decision to buy them, and would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking for a new set of tires.
 
Niiiiice dude! Yeah, I would've ridden the sides.......or not! Cool pics, glad you had a good time. Oh, and Mom wanting a Forty? She might be cooler than you bwahahaha! ;) ;) seriously though, good you got out there! That's more than I can say!

Yeah haha, shes ok i guess ;)
I made the mistake of showing her the ICONs in my dads Du Pont Registry's and heard her talking to my dad about them last night :rolleyes:
Hopefully i can convince her to spend a tenth of that and get her an incredible diesel 43.

I'd say you had a successful day! How else are you going to learn the limits of your truck and yourself?

Haha exactly, they all kept telling me that that spot catches everyone, but it didn't stop me from feeling like a jackass
