I may be able to help with the 2"

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Sweet. How much do you have? I picked up approximately 33 ft of 1.75 last week for fairly cheap. Should be getting the plasma this week fom my coworker. I can't get a good measurement for the legs with the old ones on.

 

[SecretSquirrel]

20' or so

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Sweet. I need about 8' to 10' of it.

Any update here?

Pretty sure your the only one actually working on anything, I really should be rebuilding the kingpins/hubs on my 60 or working on shaving the bottom of my 14 bolt but its cold out and I'm feeling lazy.

The red truck is pretty much ready to wheel. I have been working on a set of sliders and my bed rack. Once I finish those up, I will try to get this thing bobbed before Jambo hopefully. Swamped with work right now which isn't a bad thing. Just sucks for working on the truck.

Here is the progress on the bed rack





I kept it short enough for the bob whenever that comes.

I just need to drill a couple more holes and put the floor in the rack/paint.

"Ready to wheel". Sure.... Rub it in.

 

[Boomtacoma01]

Its been ready since I fixed the rear diff. Me + Throttle + Jambo = Rear diff problems

My new years resolution is to wheel more this year.

 

[tx_shooter]

How is the resolution working for you?

 

[Boomtacoma01]

It isn't yet. Working on it though.
