[QUOTE="muchado, post: 510, member: 17"] While you bitches were out having fun at Clayton... I was busy tryin to get my **** together... Maybe it's a Kansas thing not havin our **** together... or is it just me and kelly that have that problem? When I first got this truck I did some 36's... Painted it green... It had a carb'd 350 and open diffs, push pull steering, stiff-arse suspension... Didn't work the way I wanted at all. I didn't have the money to do much to it so Big Jim helped me bob, dovetail and EXO the rig--some low budget DIY mods to improve the truck.... I broke a steering arm at Cathouse in August--brakes were feeble, tranny slipping+spewing fluid, carbeurator sucked and didnt run for crap on angles... Truck broke a motor mount and then soon caught on fire in Moab--SOOOO I took that as a sign. Time for Fuel injection.... I chose a Vortec V6 because it's got some decent power and I don't plan on running 1 ton axles anytime soon so it'll help me be a little nicer on the Toyota stuff for a while. The motor swap turned into doubler, tcase gears, hi-steer, techtafab disc rear+1ton booster, airshock 4 link rear, body drop, EXO-delete, corbeau seats, tranny rebuild, etc... Way more stuff than I could handle this spring trying to travel for video shoots and scrape together C's and D's to pass my final semester of college....
