Mounted up the bike rack today:

My 1st mountain bike matches my 1st truck ironically! Orange on black just rocks my socks I assume.

GOT AN OVEN! Now I can powder coat some big stuff, including my wheels/headers and such. $30 well spent:

Then mounted some 2x4s for a sub frame and threw on some casters we had laying around:

I was joking that now I have a modified oven, it's lifted 2 inches on lift blocks with oversized tires. My 4x4 oven!

And hooked up the "ricer lights", used that extra peanut bulb holder that came with the conversion lights, and put in some LED peanut bulb replacement. Their amber, but show up orange in the pics. May need to tint the LEDs some to get more orange out of them.

Man I just love that truck, color and all. If you ever want to sell it....um...just let me know. :bigwink: :lol:

supraboi97 02-15-2009 08:47 PM

That bike in the back looks pretty cool since the both match. The headlights look kind of cool but i thought your wheels were already powder coated?

Donziikid 02-15-2009 08:49 PM

That doesn't look like an EasyBake oven to me, Texan. :p

That bike is way too small. If I ever got motivated I could have a someone PC my current MTB orange to match, but Gary Fisher has some kick *** paint jobs so.. hmm.

The wheels are spray painted rustoleum semi flat black.

Looks like some horror movie...

Burn out action editing begins tomorrow, if my redneck *** friend brings me his cam's charger.

:lol:


Been tuning it up and ironing out the kinks. Most all of my fuel problems with dirt have passed. The Carb is getting decent, though I'll probably toss the rebuilt one on soon. It's running very strong now with a new ignition coil.

Had a blow out last week, so while rolling on the spare I've been blasting and prepping my steel wheels for powder coat. The original white on the wheels is powder coat as well, and has been a real ***** to get off. But with in a week or two, new (fatter) rear tires go on back. Something about those burnouts last week damaged the tires... hmm..

Got my disk brakes master cylinder and prop valve in as well, so with that the brakes are 100% solid.

When you get those spacers, slam it it (sand bags?) and head over to HellaFlush.com and submit it. Be pretty cool for you to have a truck in a sea of cars there..

texan_idiot25 03-05-2009 02:54 PM

No sir, I like to be able to drive my truck with more than a half inch of tire clearance, and I like to put the right width tires on my wheels as well.

Slamming is a 2-3k project for later.

texan_idiot25 03-16-2009 09:57 PM

sh-done! Did some stuff this weekend before some sort of road trip:

And on the way to throw on the new rear tires, I see this:

Another 67-72 fresh from the paint booth. :p

And this badass Baja Silverado

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...0/DSC00254.jpg

And new Cooper 31 x 10.5 truck tires, bit larger diameter really helps keep the freeway cruising RPMs lower, and with the much wider tread, the truck now hooks up most the way through 1st now. :lol:

I can put a little urban camo some were for ya. Maybe when I drop in a new tranny I can paint it urban camo, so when I'm in the city, people can be like, "****, he ain't got no transmission, oh, wait, i see it now. All urban camoflauged and ****".

By the way, I hate all rear angled pictures I posted last, they make this thing seem really raked in the rear, which is not the case.

suicide_star 03-22-2009 09:24 AM

none of your pics work anymore. bandwidth exceeded FTL

texan_idiot25 03-22-2009 12:31 PM

I kept getting email warnings yesterday, ignored it because I thought it was talking about my old pics. From my other PB account. :lol:

PB says it shall be back tomorrow.

Flickr FTW! :D

Should be a good hint. If I can scrounge up parts by this weekend, I should be set with a sweet set of "fun pipes". Side exit, never mind the mufflers, and breathing fire.

snowboi1289 03-29-2009 12:59 AM

Whats with the ricer lights? I figured you would go on adding ricer headlights/lights, lol. Are you going to fix the rust on the doors? I like the look of the front, but looking at the truck from the rear doesnt look right, maybe because of the rear bumper.

texan_idiot25 03-29-2009 01:04 AM

The rust fixing under the doors may come over the summer, it needs that and the wind shield. May also just end up swapping cabs, as the windshield damage is bad. The shape of the truck makes it look much higher in back, the rear dove-tails up a few inches. on the over all, it's gotta nice little rake.

Ricer lights strike fear into the souls of the unworthy.

supraboi97 03-29-2009 01:11 AM

:lol: your making a flaming pipe with a spark plug. Those are fun to watch, my uncle had a lil red express truck and put a spark plug on each of the stack and it was always fun to watch him drive away.

Hopefully we will see a video after its all said and done.
