Fullsize Pre-runner Thread!

This thread has wanted me to make a crawler/ pre-runner so bad now!
I know man... its sparked a lot of interest, even from guys that don't normally post. I wish Steve would discuss the idea of opening up that new sub-forum for pre-runners, I think it'd be pretty popular and give guys that are into it a place to hang out and post...
It would be a good idea, heck lets do what pirate did and make a chevy for the baja 1k. 
haha I don't think we have the ability to do something like that quite yet but I'd definately like to see an area for us to discuss pre-runnin'...
Come on Steve!!! haha
I've sent him two PM's but he hasn't responded yet...

The guy in the Ford was an idiot for driving a 6000lb truck on stock tires with street pressures straight down a dune instead of at an angle. Sound like we need to plan a Glamis trip. I looked and it will only take me 15 hours to get there. Plus fuel and food stops. Thats about $800 in fuel for the tow rig. Ouch.
Yeah the guy in the stupid duty just drove straight down and plowed into the sand...ended up w/ his front and rear bumpers supporting the truck...
The 1/2 ton turd was a group of teenagers and if I remember correctly we were laughing at them b/c it still had paper plates on it...
They didn't even have shovels, they just started digging by hand, lol...
But hey if it wasn't for the blue oval group it wouldn't be nearly as entertaining out there
Yeah ktmoutfront I'd love to make a Glamis trip someday. I priced out some Deaver front springs last night so I might go that route for a while... www.polyperformance.com has some pretty good prices on them.

Sounds like fun 
On a side note at 4:55 in this vid there is a nice old chevy... looks like what I envision my k10 looking like in a little bit...

Also any of you guys have a Glamis map that shows the hills and areas? Such as Old's hill, China Wall, etc.
I'm going to go and search a couple sites b/c I think I saw one a while back but figured one of you guys would have one too.

all i can say is build a bitchin 4x4 so you can ripp people out of being stuck and get free brews and watch some bumpers get pulled off...ive launched my big block blazer leaf spring and all in the air well over 6ft and only had a brakeline break once cause i didnt adjust my limit strap correctly ..ive hit whoops on the side of the rd at glamis .. its all about knowing what your doing and knowing how your vehicle responds... keeping in mind you cant flat bottom devils slide in ocitillo wells cause you are a heavey monster out their and will not bounce like the light pre runners .. and most importantly set your rig up right and not half ass things and gusset things
Sweet pic man!

I'M IN LOVE W/ THAT TRUCK!!!!!!!!!!

X2! ya know........I have a crew cab......
.......
DO IT! 
Let me think about this. I could put the 454 out of the crew cab thats built and sitting on the engine stand in my K5 along with the built th400/np205, get a NWF black box later. I was going to use the D60 out of the crew cab in my K5 till I hunted up another. Wouldn't have to come up with another if I went that route. could sell the crew cab front clip and bed to help with Fiber glass cost. The TH350/NP205 in my K5 could go in my 89' aka 74' registered burb and replace the 700R/208 or mate the np 205 to the 700R. The 383 in the K5 could go in the crew cab. would make a nice high revin hi torque prerunner motor.
Ditch the 89' crew cab 14FF axle since its made of grey cast iron. Build one of my 4 others 14FF ubber stout. Talk to the guy down the alley who has a 74 K20 4x4 into selling the POS and register my 89' crew cab as a 74' = no smog. Put the 8 lug D44 out of the K20 in my burb and ditch the 6 lug 10 bolt and put the 14FF I have for it in too.
The only thing is my crew cab WAS going to be my tow rig when it was done. Solution, buy a brand new diesel megacab Dodge 4x4 Duelly and have a long bed conversion done on it. Oh I want one of those. Diesel for towing is the only way to go. I have the plan complete, what do you think??

why is the engine bay blurred out? is it one of those super secret, supercharged, twin turbo, high compression, diesel, nitrous, racing engines?
Probably... that doesn't look like your average shop project and they probably didn't want to show what they're runnin' under the hood
