Im courious as to the gross stock weight?As Im planning to shed alot in lbs.I will pickup no pun! Afew few in the lockers and with the gas air compressor Im building.Its the bomb! As it will only cost me the rebuild and small supertrapp for exhuast and a K&N filter along with afew air fittings and filter etc.But will supply all the air needs to fill any large tires and run even a die grinder with cutoff wheel.And it wont be sucking more amps out of my two already Taxed optimas and the small yoter alternator!But other than those! Im loosing lbs left and right due to the full four plus year custom complete rebuild from end to end.Id done all the fabrication work and thats a ton! As its sporting a full custom interior with beard supercomp suspension seats with cloth upgrades.A grant wheel which I have about thirty hours into as it had to match the custom aluminum instrament panels which holds all autometer ultra light guages and speedo with a small super comp tach thats a pedistal mount on the dash.Even the wheels grip I cut from black garment grade leather and hand punched and stitched on! Then like all the aluminum from back to inside out and front its all finnished to match the guages which started it all as that takes an orbital sander and I use 60 grit on all steel or aluminum.Plus there many others like the custom shortend shifters Id built and thickend so there lookin stout! And even made the transfer case shifter from a peice cut out of T-6 billet block aluminum and sclpted into a vertical almost identical to the B&M tee handle which Id also carved by hand to a real custom and hotrod look.AS thats what this 85 extracab 4wheeler looks like.A hotrod offroader with its three color custom scalop paint job which I will reshoot before I try to get it into petersons offroad mag.As they should jump at the chance with all this rigs going to be sportin! As its already got the major tube work out of the way in full custom tubed bed with aluminum sides and diamond plate floor and rear bumper panels which are housing all the lighting dutys.And talk about lights!! We have them all from KCs up top high forward and one rear mounted for camping and high baem assholes.And low or low as it gets up front in blue fog lamps built into the smaller dual tubed with light bar under front bumper and turnsignals just above.Two sets of leds for the interior as one set matches the blue superbrites in all the autometers as they shoot out across the custom aluminum console with the laether arm rest to match the grab bar and steering wheel.And afew in the extra cab throwing afew blue beams down on the cerwins and kappas and the 12"alpine 2ohmed dual coiled sub and then a pair of kappa infinity tweeters in front with another pair in 4" mids just below the tweets to help in any at all offset from the gang in the rear! And an alpine MP-3 deck handles the rest with the help of two more amps.And which will soon cal there new home in aluminum enclosers in two pryramids for the four drivers complete with baffles and polydacron fill for that full rich sound.And the alpine will be pounding its happiness out of about the same only in a wedge and in the center of the other two.Complete with built in computer fans to aid cooling the beast in this HOT Arizona summer!!WOW!And thats nothing as I havent any A/C anymore as that went as the new modified 22RE engine went in with all the new SDS digital injection and ignition! And keith black pistons @ 9-7-1 & crane cam that falls off at 5200 rpms and still idles well enough to wheel just fine.As thats what I wanted a truck that get it all done wheelin and can still get up and now walk real well! With all the modifications done inside and out galore to this engine.And the cooling is handled by a aluminum nascar radiator.So the black magic fan wont even come on till my engines shut down or if you out moving really slow in bad heat.But even the engines work as been radically reduced in all various ways and my own powersteering pump mount which allows you to run the alt,water pump and steering from only four pulleys and a single belt!Plus theres only two radiator hoses now and not three?? Plus that weird metal pipe they felt they had to use as if it wasnt garbaged up enoug with that intanglement of spagetti in vacuum lines thats no longer ether as I removed all that smog garbage as well when that great SDS made it in there! No mass air choke meter and no ditributor ether and only a grand total of four senors period now! And all no more than at worst case the throtle position at 130.No more toyota dealership prices for this guy!! I did my own big bore TB.And all the port work through out.All match ported from TB to Thorley header in tri-Y.And Lc pro rocker shafts and steel backed chain guides and adjustable cam gear.High volume oil pump.Completely balanced which is a must and with solid eng and polyurathane trans mount.I built those as well as all in anything at all remotely possable I did it and when done only the diffs will go out as well as the custom drive lines soon to come.Plus some killer rear disk brakes! With built in e-brake and small little calibers with wilwood solid mount drilled rotors and tandum master cylinder and there porportioning valve whic allows you to fine tune like never before! front to back and side to side!And all in the smallest lightest stoppable power youd ever want.That is with the upgraded fronts as stock sucks at best!And with 33x10:50 TSL radial swappers you need good big braking power!Plus a centerforce dual friction clutch and big billet steel flywheel for tree pulling grunt.Not to mention when the lighter all chrome molly cryogentics axles and knuckle are in there new home and twice as strong with almost half the weight so that frees up even more ponys.Along with the other 85 transfer case thats also going in.I forgot about that added weight?Then the cell phone and CB radio along with a top nav system with altitude for the mountains here and in southwestern colorado! As there you get up to 12,250 feet high!But talk about a wheelers paradise!! Its the heaven youd always waited and want as this states the rock pile!And that one even with those monsters in mountains there still alot nicer!In fact it doesnt get any finer on earth than there!Thats heaven!And this is hell as it will knock the shit out of anything period!!And why the suspension seats with four points a must! As is the full interior roll cage welded to the frame as is my entire bed and rollbar with two big down tubes that run from the top of the roll bar down to the rear and welded into the frame!And so why the name apply fits as in its plates of Rockrig!If you have any questions e-mail me and I will gladly answer anything that I can.As it just dawned on me that I have the gross weight so never mind.And Id love to come down there again some time as the last time I was only 19 and hitch hiked from here to there and stayed about two weeks in kentucky! I had a blast as you people know how to have a good southern time and you also have alot of nice looking women!!As Im here to tell you! Only kentucky and wisconsin and here period out of two countrys as we traveled coast to coast in USA and Canada in 1975!Its a trip as I own a 1965 howard flatbottom V0drive boat with a casale gearbox and a bigblock ford with 428 cobra heads.Then a 1975 FLH harley davidson and my 1985 toygoata and then I screwed up in the 96 roadking? Should been a 95! Oh well there all headed out anyways as Im going to start a fabrication business named Pinnicle Flo.And after afew patents will bring out some all new products and for guess who? You yota owners!Plus I plan to carry afew of the top lines in various areas as brakes and exhuast but there only the super in the trapp! IT rocks!And its a built in spark arrestor and tuneable as rebuildable and in stainless as I will also carry a large supply of all stainless fasteners in allens and hex head as thats whats holding ol Rockrig all together except where grade eight is a must!OR just huge stainless!!As its a grade five and no whimp!Only its pretty and cleans up great with a wipe in steel wool! OR polishes up like chrome only much better!And with time and money god only knows what all will follow as Ive got plans for to much as it all is and so the people will decide what stays and what comes.As I may go full blown with english wheel and air hammers and machinery to mill and lathe.As me and metal have a real thing for one another.As seen in my art work all in metal sculptures and in various things from my gearhead family to the southwestern art forms in the various plants like agaves in bloom and the saqauros and windmills with rusty water tanks and old out houses etc.Well goota go and flo some more puddels! See ya all later! Randy
