The D60 is my pile of crap that I need to go over and try to finish up with this week.
That is a helluva a brother, I dick off Saturday and Sunday and he gets **** done! Looks almost like the ones you made Friday night, Fred, but not fawked up!! :flipoff2:
Mixture of cleaning, watching football and hanging out with Dana.
There's a little more to it, but I'll share that when I make it out there.
Anti-wrap is done. Let's see if Jimmy can break it.

If he can't, I will hand him some liquid encouragement to try again. :gigem:
Bump!
Get to work! :flipoff2:
Hope the battery doesn't go dead.......
don't get pissed because Sam has a wheelable rig and you don't
So after 3 years of being in the club with no rig worth mentioning, I finally bought something that is worth having.
Spent the weekend in Dallas hanging out with TAMOR north and going over the Belle with Fred and Jimmy.
Towed her back to her new/old home in College Station. This is the first time I have really towed anything long distance with my new truck, and I couldnt have been more pleased. Had no trouble maintaining any speed I wanted.
I am pumped that I will finally be able to have something to wheel.

Travis and I think the reason his Dakota got neglected and sold is because the battery went dead
Buckwheat got neglected because the battery went dead, the 4 wheel drive didnt work, there was a huge hole in the floorboard, the motor needed to be rebuilt, the brakes sucked, it was IFS, and i didnt have the knowledge to fix any of it and no one would help me
Wheeling with no floorboard is cool (or hot, depending on the weather, kinda like having anti-a/c! ) :flipoff2:
It makes looking at the rawks under your rig much easier also! :D
so does it need anything.... and since i along with others probably don't want to go thru all 20 pages could you please give us a update as far as specs and coolness that has been done to this well loved rig
It could use a set of tires, as the ones that are on it have a lot of dry rot.
The brakes need some attention, as they are kind of sketchy.
Needs some bump. And I want to get the third seat in for alto.
I need a 5 point warn controller
I might upgrade the seat belt system, as I have a set of harnesses
The only real modification I plan on doing some time soon is to cut off the rusted out rockers and replace them with some 2X4 tube, then tie the cage into the sliders and frame.
I have an almost new warn controller, but the disco doesn't get stuck so I don't need it.
So jimmy decided to scrap it I see
I got a set of 37" MTR's, 15" Rims
Also, the yellow top has seen some years. I've counted it out before and it has surprised me though. Jumper cables are neat. Like any rig it's going to need love, but lists of potential and better than starting from scratch I think.
Sam is in a better place in his life now. He has people around him to help him on his road to recovery from his addiction to killing vehicles.
sam-run the 37s. I have been running the same on my front chevy 44 for two years with no issues.
Knock knock, who is there? Oh it's just me TTB checking in, I have a 44 center section and rocked these 37's without ever breaking a shaft...
If you're single traction beam 44 can't handle the 37's you should do a TTB swap!
Disclaimer, this 44 has some sort of locking mechanism in it, so it is not an apples to apples comparison, but still TTB rules!
I think if anything those 37's would be easier on the axles than those big wide 35's that are on there now. You just have to be conscious that you can't get pissed off and crank the wheel hard and hammer down.
