het mark, I have to say Im torn buddy. the truck looks great, but I loved it the way it was. but its your truck and if its how you want it then Im stoked for ya. I myself like both sets of wheels, they both have there own appeal, I think it will look great which ever you decide to run. the L.E.D. bar is sweet. I plan to switch to one when I get the bumper done on my 97.
Ok enough from me get that thing out on the trail so we can all see it in action

Mark,
we are two pages deep into the Ruby ReBirth, and you still have an old avatar up....slacker...haha!
She looks great. Did you do a measurement at stock fender clearance before surgery, and one after?
One day I'll have a rig with 4 wheels on the ground

I still think that axle looks really... exposed... down there. So used to seeing the IFS protected behind the factory skid plate...
IDK what the law in Cali says but up here old school arm signals out the window are still perfectly legal for signaling your turns.

I really love the LED light bar, I think for sure you will be pleased.
Yes sir, it does fit in the garage... I thought... didn't I post a picture of it in the garage? Maybe I just mentioned it in the video too? .... I will check and make sure. It fits in the garage but I have to remember to put the antenna down for a roll in.... eeeeek! Lol.
Your truck is already sick, RB! I can't even imagine once you have the link setup done.....WOW!
I did have measurements from after I did my suspension and then adjusted the torsion bars so forth. I did that a few times with the rear as well. it's a little different now! hahaha. I will try to do some comparisons.
Haha. .... I know you do. ... and Thanx again for doing that for me, buddy!
I forgot to get the video again of more of the light bar in the dark ... Richard and Johnny got to see ... it does pretty well. Once all the lighting is done it should really be effective for night really or just in general as a useful tool when out there.
Thanx buddy! Gotta love Yotamasters. ... They did great work on what they did!
Arm out the Window is fine, during the day and in addition to turn signal. ... But they really press ya to always signal before Lane change and turning. .... If the cop is in your blind spot (rear/pass side),.....I doubt he would just take my word that I was holding out my arm to get over in front of him or to the left... We would just give me a ticket plain and simple. not all of them are like that I know, but the CHP especially are pretty ticket happy with changing lanes without signaling & so forth.

Redeth and Jonnyboy came by.... had a great time chatting "Yota!" and a great dinner at Lucilles BBQ! .... Was good seeing you guys again!, thanx for stopping by homies!

I would get pulled over too for the slightest thing. Even something like a fast blinking blinker would probably get me. I am not a fan of the blackout on trim and wheels. I still like the Outlaws but I think the black rims do look good on there as well. Later on if you add more accessories or other things and if they are black the Outlaws might start to look out of place in my opinion.

Terry, it's just crazy in L.A. .....they'll ticket you for most everything that you haven't even heard of. Gotta pay for this Peoples Republic of L.A. way of life they've created somehow! Lol. ....
Rob, .....I know.... .... really not looking forward to having to do that. .... Wish I could just run my originals but they end up rubbing, grrrr! Gotta look up some threads on some clean options. Hmmmmm.
Hey J,.... cant wait man! U have a thread I'm subscribed to, right? I thought I did but haven't seen much from ya lately... So not sure. DO IT! Lol

Haha, thanks Brandon... from everything I've heard Canada is beginning to go away from the People's Republic style slowly, and more towards the Liberty and free market style... maybe that's why you guys are prospering and we are in huge debt? hahaha. Hell I even read a pretty extensive article that showed many of the most powerful people in China are pushing in a manner that's almost unstoppable for a more free market type of system... Even right down to our air conditioners and toilets and everything else in California, we have things thought up by people like Hillary where they want all new air conditioners put into homes that are being built for that are already built to have remote control thermostats that can be controlled by an agency of the government during peak hours of power use. they even just put forward a program for people to have the refrigerators on a similar style system! I'm starting to feel like I have a proverbial gorilla on my shoulder not a little monkey any longer! lol... I'll leave it at that, regardless of the fact that I could share about 5 pages of crap that they are implementing or have implemented... and not even touch the surface. I'll just say one more thing... when your post office is around 80 billion in the red every year for several years... maybe they aren't the best managers of our money and resources ?

Speaking of the post office I thought I would share a picture that I grabbed while in the parking lot...
And then I wanted to share that well Jonny was here having a chat with Richard, I swapped out his ring and dial for some spare powder coated ones I had but the just work perfect enough to send to StewsRunner.... I will get a better picture later. ...

Ive been on here lately I dont think u are subed to my build thread tho thats prob why ive been busy tinkering on my truck and my baja bug lately so i havent been super active tho... cant get over how good your runner looks man i like the rear bumper a lot it looks clean on there
#7100
Thanks J! I appreciate that... I'm surprised how few people have this bumper but I guess many just don't want something hanging any lower at all. however if you run one that is rated for towing , it is likely that it will come down a bit from where the trail gear and Marlin crawler bumpers do.
