the hole without me in it

and after

**special-K** · 12-23-2008, 08:17 AM

Your truck looks great muddy.Must have been a great time,always is right?What will it take to get that driveshaft in there?That would drive me crazy not being able to do what that truck is capable of.

72BlckButy · 12-23-2008, 09:15 AM

Looks like you guys had a good time, great pics/vids!

desertrat · 12-23-2008, 01:10 PM

I love it! Glad to see you where smart enough to think ahead and have a tow vehicle ready.

I'm with special K it would drive me crazy not to be able to put it in 4 wheel drive. Wait a minute it did drive me crazy.
After I installed a 14 bolt rear in my '71 3/4 ton the gear ratio was wrong. I drove it for over a year that way until I sold it
(wife was crying when the new buyer drove off in it

).

Looks like you all had fun! Bet you wish the other two where pulling!

vtblazer · 12-23-2008, 06:28 PM

...get a front drive shaft and have some fun, sounds good!

Chevy1TonFun · 12-23-2008, 09:46 PM

d-shaft is $900. I'm working on getting a divorced t-case

62 short step · 12-23-2008, 09:54 PM

Wow its that much! I guess I never had to price one.

Gotta pay to play, going big doesn't just mean the size of the truck.

Who did you contact for the D-shaft?
That does sound high, I had a 1-ton front shaft built with a 12" slip and all the goodies for 750.00 not to long ago.

abebummy26 · 12-24-2008, 10:39 AM

How much lift is that?

74 C-30 · 12-24-2008, 11:00 AM

@abebummy, he says his lift in his signature, 12 inches

I talked with Jesse at High Angle. He quoted me $900 for a 1 ton 42 cv d-shaft. If you know someone that can do it for less let me know.

ChaseDale3and8 · 12-28-2008, 05:03 PM

Looks like fun! That engine sounds pretty healthy! What cam, heads, and shortblock are you running in it? ...Joe

mothertrucker424 · 12-28-2008, 10:12 PM

I would have to agree.

Where I live it is "real clay". It is the nastiest stickiest mud I have ever seen.
You don't sink down very deep but it is hard to get any traction on it. Basically it is a dry lake bed.

mothertrucker424 · 12-29-2008, 09:07 PM

im in Florida and we have MUD its nasty thick suck you down and hold then its sand bad combination

Hoods69BadBowTie · 12-30-2008, 05:01 AM

Awesome videos and pics. Truck looks like a blast! I hated when I didn't have a front drive shaft in.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-30-2008, 12:45 PM

Awesome truck - great pics, looks like a blast!

killacheyenne · 12-31-2008, 09:12 PM

nice truck

Chevy1TonFun · 01-01-2009, 04:37 AM

you know i have to say I enjoy this forum and all its members. Pirate 4x4 has a bunch of dicks. You guys actually enjoy threads for what they are intended to be about, P4x4 all they did was moan and complain about how stupid i was to go 4 wheeling w/o a front drive shaft.
So Thank you!

OARNGESI · 01-01-2009, 05:31 AM

Wow looks like alot of fun

**Yukon Jack** · 01-01-2009, 10:16 AM

It's all about having fun - here and out on the trail. It's not like you were out there alone and could have risked your life if you got stuck and didn't have a front driveshaft or winch. Now if you where 20 miles back in the mountains you'd get some polite suggestions from us not to do that again without a front driveshaft.
