I think Taps would be appropriate!
Yes I feel it went to a good home!
Thanks for the compliment I am still sad and wondering if I made the right decision!
He has already installed an atlas transfer case and is thinking he will 3 link the front on coilovers.
Thanks!
I have cried real tears more than once since its been gone
Me to but the next one will get all the things I wish I would have done to this one! Its going to be a few years yet though I've got a go fast street truck in mind before another offroad rig happens!
Yes I feel moments of real depression... Hence why it has taken me so long to respond to all the comments here. Typing in this thread makes it seem more real which means more sad
I've already got another one in the 2 door flavor but my son is driving it so it won't be any where near as extreme as this one was. I'm considering a 2 door 2wd for my next build or an extended cab truck but really leaning towards a blazer with my V8 that I intended to put in this truck but with more performance and possibly a couple turbos
Its getting the love it deserves and will get used regularly at its new home so that makes me happy.
Was a great build! I thought I put a ton of work into mine - wasn't even close to this one.
Rust forced me to sell it to someone younger and much more motivated to keep it alive. Still ran like a top though. I miss the driveline.
The way I look at it, I provided good transportation, and proof to the younger generation that carburetors WORK, and ain't as bad as everyone says they are. It lives on ... somewhere!

Wow, I have to say I cheated and skipped to the end. I'm down around page 120. I feel like I've lost a family member. I'm still going to go back and finish the entire read. So far this has been one of the most interesting, thought provoking, idea striking and wonderfully detailed builds I've seen. It almost reads like a novel, we've all been there through all the ups and downs, the birth of children, passing of loved ones etc.
I'm going back now and finish the read. Kudos to the creator, this has already stood the test of time.

So I have alot of add ons coming up so I figured I would start a build thread to show them all off. Up until today I had tinted my windows, put on 31x10.5 BFG's on 15x8 4.5bs rockcrawlers, a decent amount of fender trimming and removed the front valance for clearance.
My 4x4 had stopped working so I decided it was time to make a posi lock system for it. I won't make an entire how to thread but I did take pics along the way and will answer any questions I can. After reading a few threads on here and other forums this is what I was able to come up with. All together I have about $45 in this project. I'm very happy with the install and even happier that I won't have to worry about my 4x4 not working cause of some stupid little hose.
These are the parts I used
I ordered this locking cable Heavy-Duty T-Handle Locking Cables - 10 Feet*-*Buyers*RO9D3.5X10 because its heavy duty and blends in well rather than the silver cables I have seen. It was $24 shipped to my door and I ordered it on Thursday and it arrived on Saturday.
Here are a few photos of the process I used I'm not going to comment on all of them but if you have questions feel free to ask.
The install took about 2 hours start to finish and it works perfectly.
Next to come is Surco roof rack, and bedliner the rockers and bumpers.
