New Years Cruisaloutions

[Bambino840]

Just wondering what everyone's truck evolution plans were for 2014. I generally have the dream plan and then the reality plan. Won't even tell you the dream plan but reality is in order

Bj 74- inter cooler(home brew ),new rear bumper( home made), and sliders( home brew )
1993 4 runner- road worthy. Front /rear bumper(trail gear), rebuild front knuckles, regear the same it has 4.30 and 4.56
1985 truck - pick away , last on the list so probably closer to 2015 accumulate parts
1984 truck- de-part for the 1985
2001 tacoma- enjoy, tent rack( afternoon home brew )

-new rear brake shoes
-new brake master

I've always wanted one of those M101A military trailers so I'm gonna make one from scratch but in aluminum.

Hoping all above work can be done before Moab.

 

[RockDoc]

Continue to work on the Pig at a snail's pace, drag the 62 to Moab on a trailer to continue its destruction, start assembling other 62 from its remains on returning to Canuckistan.

 

[arnott1t]

I like that plan doc...

I have just now figured out who this is. How do you like those Led lights from Ft Mac? Thanks for the roof rack they are perfect.

 

[Awl_TEQ]

Actually I won about everything except the lights. I got one of your chainsaws and an oil filter tool kit and a 12V ARB compressor among other things. I felt guilty sitting beside Peter who won nothing with way more tickets but I got over it!

 

[Bambino840]

Nice , I would get over it too. Run that saw fat 25:1 for a couple tanks. I think that's in the manual but I can tell you you get you 1000 motor hours that way. Stihl speck. For reference poulin expects 14 hrs before failure.

 

[bulhas]

- install AOE bumper
- fix caster
- mount 37's on TR beadlocks, install on trucks
- finish the driveline bushing swaps
- new adjustable shocks
- new rear bumper
- custom storage bins
- remove cladding, fill holes, rockline exterior of the Lexus

 

[Ratpuke]

Awl Tech - Let me know if you need a trailer template - I've got both m101 CDN and M100 models at my disposal. Mi trailer es su trailer. (Back to avoiding you)

 

[Awl_TEQ]

You've got them in your yard I assume?

 

[Ratpuke]

You've got them in your yard I assume?

Two CDN M101s in the yard. The M100 is located somewhere between you and I (along w a third M101). I could always deliver next time I'm in Calgary or could send pics w measurements.

 

[Awl_TEQ]

I have a particular method or systematic way of measuring things with an eye towards how to reproduce it with the equipment available to me. So I think I'd like to look one over in person. I have no idea if anybody here in town has one. Marc maybe? I have a few weeks before I will be ready to start that project. I'll have to ask around here but let me know if yer headed to Cowtown.

 

[phoenix60]

What kind of hitch does your trailer have. I kind of bent and buggered up the hitch on military trailer. Really need to get it sorted out this spring! It's the surge actuator assembly that's mangled. For the bigger trailer.

Figured you would have a way of measuring it. I don't know of anyone in Calgary with one anymore.
