    I appreciate that. What you said about the essence is true. I will take the best parts from this to make the best truck :)

    Yes sir. I feel really bad about everything and I seriously feel a lot different about how I drive and my awareness. I definitely learned alot from this, even if it was an accident.

    Extended cab bullnose frame

    Looking for a bullnose extended cab 4x4 frame and possibly cab. I’d like the bullnose cab so I know all my stuff will swap over with no issues and still look factory. Located in Sacramento California

    That’s my plan. All the bushings were toast anyways so this is just like a solid amount more than I wanted to do but still in the same realm of difficulty

    What’s up guys. So I have a pretty good idea of what I need to replace. It’s a lot, you might think I’m crazy. Maybe not. It very obviously needs a frame and front axle. -cab is super beat on the floor and firewall so I may just replace it as I’m gonna have everything off anyways -I will figure...

    Yeah I mean if I was in a buggy or something I feel like launching at 55 would be way more fun LOL. **** happens. I kinda gotta own it that it’s my fault. I already have plans on what I’m gonna do. Gonna find a truck, basically need a frame with axles and a cab and I can do the rest. Then I’ll...

    I kinda promised myself that I’d teach my kids to drive in it. So I guess I have to

    “The 6.9” project thread

    Thank you guys. The truck has to live on. It needs a frame, needs a cab, and then front end stuff. The engine could be alright but I have that turbo 7.3 in case this one is bad. The transmission broke right at the crossmember and that’s really annoying. If I can find another truck and just swap...

    I never thought I’d be making this post and it’s 100% out of my own stupidity. I completely wrecked my truck. I was going down Dirt road and hit a huge washout portion. We flew through the air and almost rolled. So far I can see that the front axle is completely totaled, the front of the frame...

    I’m losing my ****. No brake lights, everything else works great. Worked fine yesterday, I’m pretty sure. Haven’t gotten rear ended. I have power through the switch on the pedal, fuses are good, trailer brakes work, wiring looks fine. I have no clue what’s going on.

    What’s really annoying about it is there’s really no way around it. Like you can’t just avoid buying fuel like you can some other stuff. Even with my little car it still costs 65 bucks to fill up. I miss the days where 3.65 was expensive.

    Apart from diesel being almost 5$ here in the great state of California, this truck is very enjoyable to drive around. I’m still very impressed with how well the pump and turbo mesh. Literally the only thing holding back power is my lack of desire to stress the head studs out so I keep boost...

    Here’s my work truck, a midget I saw at McDonald’s, and my pickup. Been driving the 6.9 around a little, I missed it lol. Me and my friends are going on a 4 hour trip in a few days so I decided to take this as it’s 100 times more comfortable at higher speeds than my Volkswagen LOL. One thing...

    No no it’s just that my truck is too nice to do stuff that the Volkswagen Beetle is designed for such as rock crawling and jumping LOL

    Hey guys. I got led bulbs all around for my truck. The blinker bulbs are actually switchbacks so they are white when the headlights are on and then flash amber. Only issue is that A, they don’t flash, and B, they draw power still but other than that they look cool. I’ll have that fixed soon. I...

    Well today I finished all the wiring for the engine and toggle switches and they all work. Moved the truck around and it’s weird having a nice clutch pedal and brake pedal now. I’m excited to run it around. So here’s the stupid part. I haven’t checked the oil in a long time, I’m due for a...
