Here's mine again, New bumper: Before bumper:

Haha, great mod. Very humorous. :sport_box

Updates! Got my All-Pro bumper on finally and got some new shocks as well. 9000's in the front and 5000's in the rear. Winch coming up sometime soon as well as the new exhaust. :wavey:

Thank you Dave! Thats great info. :clapsmile

Not to bad of a loss if much. It's windy about half the year here in Carson/Washoe Valley so if it was, then i wouldnt really notice due to being tossed around by the wind all the time.

The Surco Rack is 45in wide and 50in long. The come in other sizes as well. I got mine through http://www.summitracing.com for around $170. It's funny that you bring up the power with the motor. Mine is pretty gut-less right now when completely loaded. I swore up and down i wouldnt touch the...

Thanks for the replies. I'll keep that carpet addon in mind. :) What time is this meeting? And the old town mall is the one next to the Atlantis right?

Its cool you can use it. For PA's question, i didnt modify my shell much. I'm not planning to carry more that 60lbs on top anyway. As it sits right now i can sit in it and it doesnt move much. Big Sky, what size alternator are you thinking of getting and where would you get one? I'm in need of a...

Haha, Thats my pickup! :coffeedrink: Here's the link to the build on it. http://expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4091 I'll be picking the build backup in a week or so. BTW, great looking project. Keep it up!

Wow very helpful information. I recently purchased a Surco rack as well. I'll be sure to re-enforce it before my trips this summer. Thanks!

Nice truck! Great start on it as well. :luxhello:

Didn't really do much work on the truck this weekend due to the weather, but I did get a chance to do a little trail testing on what i've done to it so far. I found that my shell has leaky windows on it. How do i go about fixing that? Other than that everything went fine. :ylsmoke:

Sad to here that the PU will be sold. But best of luck on the new build. I love the 80's. I have a co-worker that has one. Btw any idea on what you might sell the PU for? :elkgrin:

Haha thanks. :ylsmoke: I have quite a bit left over from work so it was free. About the winch I'm still not sure. There's so many good ones from Warn, Superwinch, Ramsey's, and Tmax it's hard to make up my mind. I suppose i'll think about it more when I get the bumper actually on. I need to...

Here are the updates. Sleeping area complete: (till I think of something else) Surco Safari rack: That ended out the weekend. Unfortunately I found some cooling lines that went bad so I have to replace them before I can move the truck again. Oh well. :)

Those things are sweet. Where do you get them? :)

What were those mounts made from? They look great.

I really like the Tires. They grip rock and snow very well. With the sidewall tread it makes ruts very simple to get out of. The 86 came with bucket seats but there in horrible shape. I was thinking of replacing them with some 4 Runner seats. I've have been wanting to regear but i dont have...

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm planning on painting the truck at the end of the summer after my trips. Grim i must say i like the 4runner there. Very cool. Here's an update from the end of the weekend. Internal storage build: Partly carpeted: My second battery compartment: (front left...
