[QUOTE=Tim Smith;43147]Okay, so youtube vids still won't show on the forum.

Youtube videos work GREAT on the forum.

(note: replace "<" and ">" with "[" and "]" for the coding to work)

you had this coding....

Andrew IIA,

Love your truck...just the right balance of old and new. I used to make a habit of going to the ECR page and saying to myself, "That's what I want mine to look like!"

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress.

I love this thread! The videos are great.
Tim- I love those old warns, theyre so fast. Ive got one to put on my 109 as soon as I make a mount for it. Why did you go from the 24spline w/the ARB to the 10 spline?

Hijack for learning, please excuse me

I still don't get it Thompson. You say replace the "<" and ">" though it looks to me like you replaced "hill" with "Z-Ea1142AM" leaving the "<" and ">"s untouched.

I know I am missing something really simple.

Back to more awesome photos and videos please. This is my favorite thread next to "Got my lightweight...

Stuck in the mud in Randolph VT with no shovel, hilift, or other vehicle, hence me being covered in mud. Backed into a hidden 2ft pool of mud made by someone else being stuck previously, had to build an earthen damn behind the truck and dig out the muck around everything, and free the rear axle. Ended up getting pulled out by a friend I sent my wife running out to get. Good sport...lesson learned. Funny doesn't look like that big of a hole in the pictures.

Guess my old noggin needs a new set of points...

Sorry, yes in order for the youtube video to display properly on the forum I did replace "hill" with "Z-Ea1142AM".

In order for me to illustrate the coding example (without it acutally displaying the youtube video) I had to edit the beginning of the code with the "<" and end with ">". These are html coding and the forum uses BBCoding which is "[" and "]".

Hope this makes sense?

Thanks for helping me out TSR.

Hey NepentheSea,
I think the ARB was installed using the big ring washer instead of the thicker ring gear. It was a while ago and I've kinda forgotten.

Having bought the truck with the ARB already installed, I didn't even know such a problem could exist. Eventually one day while driving down the road, the ring gear unceremoniously came off with a bang. That put me back into the 10 spline for a while with a bunch of used half shafts to feed the habit until I finally got sick of swapping them over. Bill at GBR put together a trutrack for me and things have been swell ever since.

This is probably the best footage of my lightweight that I've seen outside of Rovering Moab.

Keep in mind, this is all on private land with the blessing of the land owner. Be absolutely sure you are wheeling legal. If you aren't sure then find a club that wheels legal. All the cool kids are legal so be cool too.

Trying to make the hill. It's deceptive.


I was going through a period where I went from an awesome ARB 24 spline rear back to a standard 10 spline rear, and I could do nothing but snap half shafts. The half-shafts were all used and coming out of "the bucket" but still, once you go 24 you don't go 10 again. At least not very easily.

Was that Hunting season? Also did anyone make the climb?

me too. here's my base truck that will someday be exactly like Andrew's - I think it's the perfect mix as well



Looks like someone else has already built a similar rig. I know the bumper is Ike's - who makes the sliders?

[Jim-ME]

Since the edges appear rounded like an original sill my guess is they are Ike's too.

Hmm... I have more pictures of other people's vehicles off-roading that I do of my own....

Nice complete SW. Maybe we should start a love thread for Andrew's
truck.

I agree the slider's are Ike's.
