& spelling too....

Yeah for some reason I just don't care about certain things as much as I used to.

[ZEUS]

Got some rims off eBay. BLINGY!! I wanted 17's but when I found billet Centerlines in 16x8 from 1993... BRAND NEW still in plastic!!! ...I jumped on 'em. They match the old skool body but damn are they shiny! Need 1/4" spacers to clear the tie rod end also...

[nfpgasmask]

Wow, very blingy.

Those would look cool in black chrome! Nice old school find.

[ZEUS]

Ooh black chrome is not a bad idea...

Lookin' good Son...totally McDiggn' the racing stripe on the chinny-chin-chin...

Nice wheels too!...

[ZEUS]

Flavor Saver! And thanks.

[nfpgasmask]

What flavor might you be saving in your "racing stripe" there, Justin. Might it possibly be fish taco flavor?

Haha I'll have to get on that!! Get it, get it? ...Get on that!

BTW, Saturday is the Utah Undie Run - supposedly 15,000 will be running downtown in our skivvies to protest how uptight Utah is while trying to set a Guinness record! Should be FUN! I wanna go as a Banana in a banana hammock but I'd prob'ly get arrested.

Just read the thread and now it's dead.

Need an update!

How's the Trailphoon going?

I have a black Typhoon so this is my kind of build.

Had a 2.8 Jimmy in '95 too but had to sell it after 11 months when my employer went bust. Loved that truck. Wanted a Typhoon since then and bought it 4 years ago.

The stripped down engine is still in the kitchen!

Hey Monstertrucker, I can't beleive someone I don't know was actually viewing this thread! I don't visit vx.info much anymore. But some folks asked in Moab about this project so here is an update.

The last 2 weekends have been all garage so the house and yard are farked!

Anyway... I remove the engine when I need to. As it sits here is how it will sit in the vehicle. The axles are also on casters; so is the frame..


All squared up and level. Notice how easy it is to reposition the outriggers... all by design. Giggity giggity...


My first bends!! I am proud of how all this came together. I bought BendTech Pro but have not even used it yet. I didn't want to waste tube on calibration haha


Everything is square and level too!


Bending is a workout, btw...

[ZEUS]

OH.. and here is what became of the 3D model:


Here it is in Blitz Black (John Deere paint, I think):



This color is what l call "Meab"... cuz I am a ginger but it is kinda Moab red also.


Any thoughts on these two colors?

[RamAirZ]

Sunset Orange, all the way
