Stock!

I dug this up for another thread in tech.

Seems like so long ago . . .

Man that thing used to look good! You really ruined it!!!! HAAHAHAHAHA

So anything you would have done differently?

 

[619TOY]

I know that was the last time it was that shiny, but...............was that the last time you washed it as well?

Here's something pretty funny as well:

Sttttockkkkk...oooo shudder.
I dont think I can go back to what it was before the lift. Damage multiplier in the front and back (took off) + the aftermarket wheels - yuck yuck. Only thing I should have done differently is getting 35s rather than the conservative 33s.

Like Alan said: I would've set myself up for 35's. I'm so tired of dragging myself around. Everything under my rig is scraped/scratched/gouged/bent.

It definitely hasn't been that shiny since. I do wash it every once and a while though. Not as often as I should.

Here's something pretty funny as well:

So how long was yours stock? About 30 seconds? At least it's still shiny . . .

Hah, I remember that thread! I ran across it when I was considering the same size BFG's. Definitely glad I went with the 35s.

Actually I was rollin' stock for about 3 months

 

[Bluetribal]

I'm still stock height! And I've had it for a year and seven months.
I'm just a poor man in a rich mans game.... But havin' fun!

Stock height, yeah, but your train has left the "stock" station.

These two pics are the very first time I saw my baby! First is at the dealer ship and the second is at my brothers house after he picked it up for me!

 

[Giulitto]

Now look at her! All dirty and never washed! She loves it though!

I'll do a 3 count for you boys. Make you laugh a little. In chronological order. Just wait for #'s 4 and 5

 

[SOCALFJ]

Sam, dont you know its against the law to armor all tires bigger than 35's? Sheesh

 

[Slomo]

I am very interested in those. How is she coming along?

Insurance was finalized last week, waiting for the check. Plan to start stripping the org. body and labeling parts in two weeks and the goal is to have the new body on by Mid to late February. followed by paint, internal cage, and a few other goodies.

how's your back doing by the way? Last time I saw you at the meeting you were saying that it's still a little tender.

I remember reading that part of the code and if memory serves me right it was right under the section that states that it is against the law to have an 80 that breaks the 4 ton mark on the scale

Glad to hear that it is progressing and you will be able to rebuild it. Very good news. I don't envy all the work you have ahead of you though.


Back is doing better thanks for asking. Now if my broken collarbone would just heal already.

ROTFLMAO



Sorry for the partial hijack Reid. To get it back on topic, here is the closest to stock picture I have of my truck. For some reason I don't have any pictures of it bone stock. Not sure where they went.

You're flare-less now also, aren't you?
