Title: new from NY Post by: LILWB on October 15, 2014, 12:12:20 PM Hi All
I came from the Jeep world. This is my current rig (https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0TcgzwzlbGA/UdrOBCcjGpI/AAAAAAAADRM/MH8_QezGHvs/s640/fl2.jpg) it sits on 37's thanks to a complete suspension replacement, has a Pro Rock front axle, 1310 driveshafts front and rear, dual batteries and a ton of other mods. Sadly it is for sale as my Wife and I are looking to move into a bigger house. Aside from that it is just too much vehicle for the type of wheeling I like to do. In November of 12' my wife and I took a trip to Costa Rica and after seeing how many d22 navaras there are on the roads down there I decided it would be a great Daily driver for me. I finally picked up my 02' crew cab short bed XE this past March. it immediately got a new timing belt, water pump, thermostat, valve cover gaskets, miscellaneous hoses and a new radiator support welded in. I also removed all the intake baffles and threw in a set of Euro cams and mounted a set of 31 inch General AT's. Its been a great Daily and we take her on the beach to access our favorite surf break. Here it is on Gilgo Beach (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CwRrtrb80ZM/U9wNtbtt3SI/AAAAAAAAEdM/On0qRvh-r6A/s800/IMG_20140801_155537.jpg) Out in Montauk NY (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-yl0I9b2tr4s/U_P4loOiL7I/AAAAAAAAEp8/j1rRrq1HyN0/s800/IMG_20140819_105009_079.jpg) At our Camp Site (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1Chs4zBXWj0/U_P4DeKnq0I/AAAAAAAAEl0/U8hIH8xvFPw/s800/IMG_20140817_084655_542.jpg) Now that the Jeep is up for sale and we move into a bigger house, with a 2 car garage :thumbup:, I am considering building it into something a little more than what it is. Eventually I'll get a cheap Daily drive and start a build on this. I want a solid strong rig for back country adventure. Nothng serious like I did with the jeep, just something that can get me to remote location over logging roads and not brake anything in the process. I would plan on a SAS with a waggy D44 for front end strength and parts availability. I would only run 33's maybe 35's so it will stay pretty low, don't know if I can keep it that low with a SAS though. But first I want to fab up a rear bumper and maybe a front as well and an on board air system to air back up after the beach. Thanks for adding me. |
