nice build man. gotta get some armor on there, sliders t-case skid ect

Looks to me like someone used galvanized steel to make that brace. If you use galvanized you have to grind all that coating off or that's what happens. Also if you don't and breath to much of those fumes in you can get zinc poisoning. Not fun. Just thought you should know Nice build by the way.

I am looking to in the near future. I am going with FrankZ long arms for the 30 and he makes a crossmember with a tc skid. I'll put on some rear quarter armor and sliders as well.

I looked into this, and it is galvanized. Good eyes. I didnt do this, this was my girlfriends dads work. Not to say i wouldnt have done it cause i probably would have! Thanks man

Sad Day. Bad coolant leak and it overheated like a MOTHERF*%$ER






But i forgot about it when i picked up a kenwood 12" sub and 300 watt amp from a guy on craigslist for $75 today.

Pics up when i get to them

sucks man seems like a bunch of rigs on here have been having bad issues. mine lost the fan belt on thursday

FlemingXJ

I've had bad thing after bad thing. Leaks, loose and stripped bolts on the short arms, more leaks, unbalanced tires.

All that on top of crappy gas mileage from stock gearing on 33s. that will change next weekend though!

FlemingXJ

Pictures as promised. I got these all for $70

Kenwood KFC- W3011 12" Woofy




Dual XPA2100 series 300 watt amp

Not particularly stoked on this. I may upgrade but not sure about money right now.

Sweet sub man. How does it sound? Did you mention you are re-gearing soon? Who are you going to have set up the gears? I need to find a good place to get my rear axle bearings replaced.

More importantly though, if you are up for wheeling on sunday I would probably be down or even saturday afternoon once I finish some training. My buddy with the 2 door Tahoe mentioned he wanted to go wheeling this weekend. Let me know!

Thanks, havent wired it through yet there is a diconnection to my head unit so I'll have to rip the dash of. EFF. But it'll sound good when i get some new speakers and mount them on a pvc "rollbar" on the celing.

FrankZ gives a good deal for gears, my 30 is going to him tomorrow. Im a little slammed this weekend so I might say no on wheeling. Sorry man

FlemingXJ

Ripped the front end off tonight. Shafts out, brakes off, oil drained and off to FrankZ for a gear swap tomorrow. I have zero knowlege whatsoever of gears.

pics up tomorrow


I took a slapshot to the nuts tonight. had to share

gvns8

Yea guess you cant go wheeling without a front axle. Thats sweet though dude you will definitely like it. I will have to talk to him about my rear axle.

FlemingXJ

Nope... wheeling isnt good with no axles
