Little Red 85 Build

Tommy want wingy..
Spent most of the day getting the garage organized and parts/tools sorted with a little yard work in the mix as well. Got my warranteed G2 gears in from Davez Offroad on Thurs along with a new bearing retainer and front output shaft for my extra Top Shift TC. Also need to pick up a Trickle Charger from a wheeling buddy tomorrow as well (for free I might add) to temporarily fix my charging prob till I get that figured out. Going to take my gears to get set up tomorrow and pull the Red truck in the garage for the first time. Cant wait. Going to have tons of room to tear shit up.

You dont realize how muck crap you really have on hand until you actually organize it :) I need to unpack a few more boxes and then Im good to go.

Got the truck into the garage yesterday. It fits nicely.

My stash of parts:

Started ripping out the interior: seats carpet, shifter boots etc.... Found a little rust but not too much.

I also started investigating my weird steering issue. The tie rod had backed off and was finger tight. Kinda scary. Also found a loose ground which could be contributing to my battery discharge prob. Will address those tonight...

Hell yeah it fits nice, that is a pretty big garage. I bet it takes you at least a year to fill that thing up. lol

Did you get the H1 beads?

I could probably fill it up quicker than that Rob. Ill get those cert in the mail to you this week.

Ended up not going with the H1's. Had a set ready to buy and decided against them due to the availability of 16.5 in tires. Pretty much limited to IROCS and other Super Swampers in anything above a 36. Going to end up with some 17" wheels sooner or later.

Meh for the money I rather have some from trailready or OMF, or pick out some reg 17s I like and send them to OMF and have them converted.

For the money? OMF would charg you that just to make them beadlock! Anyway, there are two guys I wheel with that have had good luck with them.

This month you could get them for $271! :D
