CB Radio
Wired for Amp/Accessories
Backyard Hackjob exhaust system.
UPDATE - March 17th 2009:
New plugs
Gave it a bath
Touched up some missing paint.
Sanded, filled and painted some rust spots.
Next step is building cup holders and a switch pod into the center console.
Still trying to get some cash for new 4" lift shocks up front before the lift and SOA.
Want to re-paint the grille. Deciding if I want to black it out or keep the chrome. (black)
UPDATE - June 4th 2009:
Not a whole lot new. Been busy the last few months. I found a group of people to go wheeling with regularly. The guy who you would call the "Leader" is really cool and has a badass Samurai.
Updates to the truck include:
More scratches!
Cobra 29 LTD CB Radio
I put my amp and subwoofer back in.
Added a couple "Driving" lights on the front bumper. They are more like spot lights. (broken and removed)
EMISSIONS PASSED!
UPDATE - July 31st 2009
Head Gasket fixed (was a minor leak), and I may have a spanking new 4.0 to drop in it. (scratch that)
UPDATE - August 18th 2009
MORE SCRATCHES!
Cleaned up this post, survived it's first wheeling trip running 33x12.50 with no lift or cutting. Working on some sort of tube-style bumper for the front. Then some rock sliders and finally a rear bumper/tire carrier/spare gas can holder/hi-lift mount/receiver/antenna mount... lol.
UPDATE - October 27th 2010
Oh wow... It's been a LONG time since I last updated. Not much has been going on though so it's not like you've missed much.
I've pretty much cancelled all of my plans for a 4x4 build up. Don't wheel much anymore so don't see the need. Still running those 33x12.5 Pro Comp's. May be stepping down to a 31x10.5 or 30x9.5 medium aggressive tread pattern. Those Pro Comp's still rattle my bones when coming to a stop lol.
UPDATE - June 2nd 2011
Hello everyone. Been busy busy busy. So first, updates for the EX. She's still going! 333,000 miles and counting! Replaced the brake master cylinder and brake booster. Found I wasn't stopping very well anymore. Also she passed smog yet again with the re-addition of a catalytic converter, damn federal laws.
Now an update for me. I'm going to be a dad. Woo! We go the 8th to hopefully find out if it's a boy or girl (hopefully boy). Also moving in with my lady at the end of the month. Just one more adventure for me.
