Fullsize Pre-runner Thread!

I think there was a few other people from CK5 out there but Jason was mostly just shooting Video of Kevins rig because it was its first trip out since he had rebuilt it. I managed to get a little part in the video because Ryan didnt think I would actually jump the blazer and Jason wanted the proof caught on tape.
 
haha... didn't think you'd jump it.
You got more air than their tubed out creations on coilovers ;)
 
Im not going to read 17 pages......but I thought I would share these.
Not a full on prerunner, more of a dailyprecrawler if you will.

Ok now that I read the last few posts....It was pismo this past year. Kevin was leary on jumping his has the last 2 years we have had some good breakage. Last year with Ryan breaking his 60 in half and the year before with me breaking my 44 in half....wait I have video of that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMzwe57rtMw

More pics from pismo this year.

Man I love that rig... I watch the movie from time to time even though I've probably seen it a hundred times by now...

Haha I've actually seen that youtube movie you linked to... didn't realize it was you.

When do you guys normally go out? Is it a set time of year or just whenever you have time away from the shop? I'd love to make it out some weekend w/ my truck...

If that is the truck I have seen videos(movies back then) from the Baja files, it worked well for its class. Those were some of the first progressive shocks out there. Each one had a different working stroke area and were valved different. Early version of the bypass shock. Notice the ultra thin leafs with what looks like a gazillion springs. Thin means soft and fast.
 
Ok I just got back from class and had some time to actually check it out... that looks like a pretty nice starting place for the price...
 
I think that's a damn good starter truck. Get some new shocks, a little axle work and you'd be ready to have some fun!!
 
Its probably nice and light too... plus being all caged out is a plus...

I didn't think of 500 caddies before reading that post... we have all been talking about keeping w/ a small block 350 the whole time but I've heard the 500 caddies aren't too terribly heavy (comparably)...

Yea they are a little heavier than a 350 but are lighter than a 454
 
I think they are 60lbs heavier than a 350 but you can throw the Edelbrock aluminum intake on and that eats up a lot of that difference.
 
What kind of hp/tq. numbers are guys getting from caddies? I know they're torque monsters from the get-go but what kind of hp are guys seeing?

Oh, dig the CC with the TIB front. Nice.

Yeah its pretty sick (and by the blurry engine bay I bet it has somethin' special under the hood ;))

I bet how the arms cross over eachother allow for some serious suspension movement... pretty wild setup.
 
Yep, there's a reason you see a lot of old Fords with TIB and TTB in the desert/sand scene. Just about the best suspension setup for max travel without going completely 100% buggy custom suspension.
