Sorry I never saw this thread. Nice to see you’ve gotten a jump on maintenance.
the leaf or driveshaft doesn’t hit on my first Gen but the front bolt on the F150 springs I put in does hit the tank. The the whole fuel pump unit doesn’t last long in the salt.
I’ll spread the word on those my friend has a 36 irok and may want the spare. I checked out the bigrunner just before you, I really wanted those beadlocks they’re awesome. I can’t believe you got 35s though!!!! That truck was made for 37-38s!
Do you think you’ll take the body lift out?
Thanks for sharing that info, I didn’t actually realize that 05+ had the frame recall too. I tried to get my 04 done but it was a georgia truck and didn’t apply.
Really wish I could go I had another trip planned the same weekend. I was thinking about coming across and going in for a day but it’s just too far (3 1/2 hr) of a drive from where we are going!
That is pretty nuts, it was definitely a big runner. Keep us updated on the red truck now that you have a bit more space to work on it!
Looks awesome! Now that you have all that free driveway space to work. That should air the smell right out, leave it open until about February!
Hows the wife’s new daily?
Cool! If you’re gonna daily it, definitely a smart move to go cable conversion rear locker. I’m sure you know how the elocker housings rot.
Sounds like a cool build, what front springs will you run?
Do you have wagoneer axle yet? Did you consider using a Toyota axle and converting to a toy tcase? I considered SAS’ing my 04 so just curious of your thoughts.
Well I really thought long and hard about buying the BigRunner from Tom. Went to see it this morning and he really is a stand up cool dude. Ultimately it worked out well for another buyer to take it. I just wanted to steal a lot of the good parts from it anyway so I think we would both rather see someone buy it, clean it up and wheel it.
I would have been stressed trying to get everything put together before our trips too, so it’s for the best. Gotta say though, that thing is rad, it’s built well. The previous owner just BUILT IT SOOO HIGH. Wish we got pics of it next to mine
What’s the setup for suspension, and lockers. you’ve peaked my interest mostly because of the 5.29s and doubler. Two things that I very much want.
Tell us more about the first Gen!
Is your truck on kijiji right now? The 89 with a 3.0? I’ll tell my buddies
