Spring/Summer Wheelin!!

GOT A TUBE BENDER!  picked up a JD2 bender with 1 3/4" die and hydraulic assist today!!!!!!!  im right in the middle of finals and now i can't concentrate. i haven't even picked up a new truck yet, but I finally have the money to and next week when finals are done my buddy and i are going on the hunt.  I have so many ideas running through my head for my next build now.  im thinking partial exo, bars running through the fenders to the front bumper. 

anyways here are some pics.  first one is the bender! next few are my buddies ( [CO]ivie on here) truck with new mods for the summer.



dual gear driven cases!

Flatbelly!



still need to skin the tunnel and make a belly pan, oh and thats maya chillin.

Damn that's awesome. Me and my buddies want a bender and welder sooooo bad. We might all chip in this summer.

Projects right now include maintenance for the old beast. Clean/replace the old auto locking hubs, new radiator, still gotta do something about rusting crossmember in the front and severely wasted exhaust underneath.

How easy is it to clean/repair front hubs??? Should I just pick up some cheap manuals like warn or something. I'd like the aisin but the rebuilt ones are like 250 or so.

It isnt bad to just rebuild the hubs.  if you are going to go manuals do NOT get warm, they are terrible.  Ive broken two sets on small tires.  Aisin is worth all of the money just try to find a set at a junkyard.

agreen. warn is shit. aisin is the yota OEM for manual hubs..i have them in my taco of course.

Thirded on the Warn thing. The only thing Warn is really good for is winches. Man, they've got killer winches.

Pretty sure I'm warn on the t100 with 33's, I'll let ya all know when I blow one up :)
