hey guys been in the middle of a ig move and havent had net. im able to reply because im at my girlfriends home in cali DD. for a little vacation. got to go to disneyland for a couple days and enjoy some sun. as for updates i took my truck on a birthday 4x4 adventure and ten minutes in broke a tierod lol. so we had to replace it on the trail with a log and the factory jack and a couple hours of waiting in cold weather for my buddie to find the part. its back together and aligned though and running great. i need to pick up a new relay for my fogs though. and as for my brush guard it was on the truck when i got it. man i am sorry the deal fell through thats so lame when that happens :/

its all good. and some rigs come with them some dont. if your one of the lucky ones to find one congrats. otherwise you will have to build your own. and all of the belts and hoses and all that other shit is hella easy to do on these things. hella easy. but good luck with your truck mate. and jm that sucks dude. at least you got the part.

yea if you have a good understanding of mechanics and have even helped someone work on anything before you should have no issue doing maintenance lol. yea it sucked to have the truck down for a couple weeks but its aligned better than ever now. if you need one done and are in the puyallup area go to dinosaur tire they will hook you up haha

lol nice man. and thanks. now she starts and stays running lol. the problem was that the wiring harness was staying open or shorting out to a ground one of the two lol. all cuz it wasnt clipped in all the way lol. piss me off when my uncle found that. now just gotta find someone who is good at tunnin carbs so that on cold days the thing isnt idling at like 500 rpm, which it will die at btw. it likes stayin around 800 to 1,000 rpms lol. dono y but thats where i trust it at and can put my foot on my brake and not use my e-brake to stop. but she is comin along lol. just got a few more things to do and i will be happy lol.

So I finally have some updates. I am selling my old parts car for 500 so i'm gonna be getting new ball joints and a center carrier bearing. I bought new front brake pads but don't have the tools or anyone to help me so they are still boxed. Going to be starting school in september so I need to finish these las few issues up. I really want to know how I can power this truck with a diesel motor
