Jurassic Park...The SUV!

Alright so some of you know Ive been painting my truck the last week, and I was going to wait to show it off at T-haven...But I know you all can't wait and I'm to proud of my hard work

So here are some pictures I took with my cell phone.

Still have more to do, need to remount the front bumper, wetsand the whole truck and put on the JP logos when they get here..

The entire paint job was done using a $10 air sprayer from Harbor Freight and Rustoleum paint. The green I actually custom made, as no color was available like that.


Here is the original...in case you forgot:

Could have been your truck idk it was about 4 years ago they were going north I was heading south in a first gen I was like what's that? Omg nice but it's second gen... Even cooler I think if I remember exactly correct it was actually your truck about 4 years ago... Lifted yellow rims no bubble.....pretty sure.

Look what I dug out of the yard

Discovered the fuel pump wiring was lose, and after I pushed it in all the way, and her new Odyssey battery, fired right up.

 

[BKennedy]

Its mad at you for not taking it wheeling

Just can't kill it! LMFAO

 

[Stic-o]

Just can't kill it! LMFAO

You know it's funny you say that. I have always said this is by far the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. No matter what she is always ready to do what ever you through at it. She'll take a beating and still keep going.

Gave her a upgrade, to help me feel better about her neglect... and a little safer.

Have you seen these yet??

Jurassic Park's Ford Explorer SUVs inspired these very out-there Reebok shoes

So, yeah, these are something.

My son who's an avid Jurassic Park fan would love to see this rig. What wheels and tires are those, by the way?

 

[Stic-o]

Well I guess that answers that question....

 

[RockRanger]

Lol. We were just talking about those tires a few weeks ago.

 

[BKennedy]

Whoopsie!!

 

[Stic-o]

Honestly, this was always my worst fear. Loosing a front tire at 65 with no sway bars.

It was actually super tame. Was able to pull off the freeway, and then drove it another mile or so on it to a Goodyear tire, and them swap out the spare.

Falken MT's I bought for the Navajo will be going on it now.

 

[BKennedy]

Just shows how stable that solid axle rig is when a front tire blows out on the freeway. That and you have been driving it for a long time and know its quirks, so you don't overreact and run it into a wall.

 

[Stic-o]

Made it back home on the remaining 4 tires. I drove it to work today to get it snogged. I noticed, I didn't even lose a bead

Truck needs some love. 15 years of wheeling, and 2 years of just sitting outside. She will get a lot more use going forward.

I loved the sweet old MTRs in a 37x12.50x15. But wish you could still buy them.

 

[tdavis]

Zip ties and rubber plugs could of put that tire back together..

Or not.

 

[Jessejp05]

Ok… I guess this is a good time to tell you…

this truck was my original inspiration years ago. Haha. I started mine last year.
Glad to see it still around! Good luck with it!

Time for new shoes
