The "under destruction builds" supersize75k5 's driveway of despair and repair

i like option 3 too. no reason to waste what you've already got. Use it up, send it to the metal recycler and start again! :thumb:
 
I say option 5.

Return it to stock. Rip off the kings, throw away the 60, scrap the t case, put on some bald tires with mismatched rims, bondo over the dents and trade it in for a prius.

LOL. He'd still try and air it out. Both the stock truck, and the prius.

And both would live a shorter life than this truck will
 
I can see this happening. Take the Prius drivetrain out, build a frame with the 1ton axles, put the Prius draintrain sideways (or right way), turn the transaxle cv into flanges and hook up the drivelines from the transaxle to the axles, then set the Prius body on top.
 
well took the truck out to a play spot today.. my hub on the left side was in three pieces saturday night so we had welded it all back together after i went and replaced the bearings.. so it ended up trying to go into pieces again.. got a hub and i was 4wd and in business. Not much obsticles other than a few, but i got a chance for some high speed long driving in the desert and tight trails. Then I lost reverse in my 4l80e:doah: Then the truck would go forward in park and nuetral too:doah::doah: Tranny #1 was at 23k..so # 2 is at 28k:crazy:


Parked the truck and rode in brents k5, we found a tights trail and mntnman got shoehorned in between a rock and a hard place.. after some work he was out. Carnage for his was a busted bobby longfield bell and and his cab,..

We went back to the parking area when we were all done, I tried to find a good spot to jump the truck but came up emtpy handed.. then I magically had reverse after some hard hits that rattled my bones:pimp: Truck drove home just fine and shifts normal. To be fair I was beating the hell out of the tranny and rocking the truck between forward and reverse and abusing it. Time for a 5 speed?

Where is the picture of the carnage?
 
He busted a dana 60 Longfield! I thought those things are bombproof. Well, it looks like a bomb was dropped on that truck, so that statement is proven false.

he busted a large piece of the bell off, it was however still functional!
 
Your having a heck of a time with shocks and shock mounts. That sucks, damage shock on this one or just mount/ bolt and spacer?

coil over bottomed out, and it broke the bolt and then the coil over kiled the tabs, bolt was a grade 8.

I keep neglecting this hole concept of bump stops.. will i ever learn:confused::doah:
