my some what new toy build

so i got my knuckle issue dealt with. new studs in both sides. also got a hand throttle hooked up. fixed the rear break line that was f-ed up and also re routed the lines. my new front calipurs seem to be siezed so im gonna try and get them warrantied through highway. did some adjusting on the weber. i have to order some stuff tomarrow, then i should be able to get back out on the trail. cheers....
 
I guess since your not working on this thing anymore it must be time for me to take all my tools back!!! I will need them back in the near future!!!!!!
 
I tried to call you this morning after you did your little drift off of old owen onto hyw2, before you pulled into the chevron. Get a new phone, so I can call and harass you more often, or give me your better half's..... Any new wheeling pics from today? Catch you later
 
ya here is all i got. everyone had a camera but no one knows what they are for. atleast not this trip:booo:

tonight i did some wiring. last weekend we didnt get off the trail untill 7pm and it was plenty dark. so i added some lights and relays. also went through and did some soldering on some of the wiring. from here on out i am soldering all wire conections, then coating them with liquid electrical tape, and then sealing it all in with shrink wrap. that should keep the weather out. i really am not that good with electrical stuff and would really like to re-wire the truck. strip it down to eliminate the stock harness under the hood im not using. but to me it is kind of overwhelming. i would also like to add a few extra circuits since toyota didnt really leave me any in the cab. anybody good at wiring?
 
witch trails are those? Didn't look familiar maybe rock garden? Whats size are the new tires?

the very beginning maybe 50 yds up "poop shute" and then the "rock garden". the others are "the wall trail", and "lake isabel trail". lake isabel was really fun when we did it cause of how deep the water was. i had water running through my cab. also didnt have the front locker working:fawkdancesmiley::haha: . we went all the way to land side. the tires are 37 12.50 15 irocks.:awesomework:
 
got rid of the old pump and picked up a viair or whatever it is. work like a charm so im asumming something is ****ed up with the other one. im now starting a new thread and everything will be posted there
 
all right scratch that. so i have ejoyed and beaten on this thing for a season now and have decided to do a makeover on it. whats in store? new cab, new seats, exo, stereo, battery relocation? so far i have the donar cab striped down, i am swapping out the wiring harness as it is all cut to **** and melted. got both the old harness from my old cab and the new cabs out and am ready to put the old harness back in. had to do some swapping of parts from cab to cab to make a complete straight one but it is coming along. i cant wait to get out on the trail again:beer:im also gonna start helpin my brother out on his pro-street 55 chev pickup:flipoff: ill post some pics of it when i get them tomarrow night:cool::D
