Ehhhh just another truck

[metalmonkey47]

At last!!! Time for an update:

Went with a friend to get some stuff for his truck, and he got me this nice little close ratio ZX 5 speed. We cleaned it up, and stuffed it into my truck. The old 4 speed was on it's way out. Lots of input shaft play, and leaking like a sonovabitch.

I cleaned it up a bit while he pulled the 4-speed out. Flipped the transmission over, and dumped about a quart of water out followed by some purple mess. :geek: (Royal Purple gear oil I guess?) We flushed it out and it came out pretty clean. Put it back together, and voila! Monkey has overdrive. Althouth, the reverse gear is making a hell of a noise, and popping out of gear, so this one will be rebuilt/replaced soon.

ALSO, you guys may enjoy this:

we went and picked Daniel up a nice L28 and some goodies today near Stone Mountain, to transport to his fab shop. Got there and turns out I met the guy a month or so ago at a meet.



The easy way to unload from a trailer... when you have access that is!





So now there's a donor L28 for this pig, and it should be done VERY soon. Within a few short months hopefully.

Probably one of the coolest parts of the truck is the bedsides, mounted on 4WD hubs that rotate the bedside out for easy access :thumbup:

Also, he's got a pretty quick L28ET Maxima with fresh coilovers :thumbup: Just needs spacers in the front so he can go lower.

what about an aircooled vw beetle muffler :L nice truck man

[metalmonkey47]

Sorry Ashton, I missed the meet because I was sick as FUCK Been out of work for the last week. Haven't touched the Datsun but I can't stand letting my build thread get buried.

Friend has some Recaro's from a Suzuki Swift GTI that I may be picking up. After that I'll be getting to work on the floor pans, and bodywork again.

Thinking about a muffler change too, even though this one isn't even 8 months old yet.

Dunno. I like the sound, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just add a resonator.

And a random picture for good measure

Thats a sexy old truck nice work this thread always brings a smile to my face keep it going.

[metalmonkey47]

Ashton you dick

You know I can't do that. lol That would be easily gratifying. I make you work for your lulz!



Fender pulling crashed this morning because of some complications, so I assembled my new leaf spring shackles painted and ready to go with my poly bushings. I've been meaning to do this for almost a year now.








BTW, camper top says fuck you

[aLaFleur]

Truck is stupid too.

I rolled with no torsions daily for a while. Roll hard. Be a real man.

That is all.







Oh <3 you...

[milano_red]

Yea I have some pics somewhere, and I would hope he got that straightend out lol.

And I really hope that once I get it down that I will be satisfied

[metalmonkey47]

My last truck had some kind of coil setup, but it was kinda sketch lol. And since the yota is my second truck I don't really have to care about ride, so I'm just gonna take the torsion bars completely out

Yeah you started to tell me about that LOL

Since I have to daily mine, i can't just do that i can't afford to be THAT low.
