i am leaving the bed off, and most likely goin to build a flatbed for it!
dalyman72 08-19-2009, 10:32 PM nice man. what rear shocks are those? ineed to replace mine and im wondering what to put on
BamZipPow 08-19-2009, 11:35 PM So whatcha gonna do with the truck in the class? Just take it apart and reassemble? ;)
Zuke76 08-20-2009, 07:24 AM dalyman, they look like Rancho 5000.
Are you going to sell the bed?
Hartzog 08-20-2009, 05:45 PM dalyman, those are the RANCHO RS5000, i have them all-around, they seem to do alright, could be better if my leafsprings were in better shape.
Bam, In the class im gnna be workin on small things on it, re-doing the rear half of the frame undercoating, and what lil up front that is spotty with surface rust(not much).....and i am also goin to be building a flatbed in the class, along with....hopefully painting the cab!!
gotta get started on all this crap lol
Zuke...i'll sell it if ya needin somethin off of it, but the only reason i took it off is because the passenger side is absolutely screwed
BamZipPow 08-20-2009, 06:38 PM Take some piccies and post up some of yer findings as you progress... :D
Hartzog 08-20-2009, 07:19 PM will do, btw, did i mention.............my teacher of the class.......ALSO IS A T100 OWNER!!!!

dalyman72 08-20-2009, 07:42 PM holy crap his looks exactly like mine lol. even the tool box. does anybody know where to get the pinstriping? mine is coming off and looks like hell. and mine doesnt even say titan
fourwd1 08-20-2009, 10:54 PM Do something to adddress all that surface rust, or it'll get you later.
BamZipPow 08-20-2009, 10:58 PM I hope his truck won't be missing any "parts"... ;)
Hartzog 08-22-2009, 12:54 PM i am going to fix all the surface rust before paint, and re-doin rear half of frame undercoatin, as well as all the small spots up front of surface rust
bam, his wont be missin any parts lol, mine wont either, i have the fender but im goin to fix the dent in it, and i took it off cause my fender-liner clips were half gone, and mud and stuff was gettin up in there and gnna cause rust problems so i just took it off til i can get that fixed
Hartzog 08-27-2009, 07:48 PM i have found a few small spots of rust that may be a little worse than just surface rust, i plan on hopefully lookin further into them soon, if its worst.......TIME TO CUT THAT CRAP OUT AND WELD IN SOME PATCHES!!
super32 08-31-2009, 06:38 PM subscribing to a potentially awesome thread outcome :)
any new progress? I'm looking to get a T100 soon for some general hauling.
dalyman72 08-31-2009, 08:10 PM where did your teacher get his hitch?
BamZipPow 08-31-2009, 08:15 PM where did your teacher get his hitch?
Are you looking fer one? If you are...PM me... :D
Hartzog 09-01-2009, 09:46 PM not sure where he got it, my T100 also has a hitch, i just had to take it off to get the very back two bolts out. as most people say on shortbed T100's theres 4 bolts.......WRONG, there is 6 you haveta take loose
Hartzog 09-30-2009, 08:03 PM ok my fellow T100 owners, ive been deciding........i really dnt wanna put $200-$500 in a flatbed for my T100, as i have yet to see one i was satisfied with, so i am searching for a stock bed agian.......WISH ME LUCK
until then, i think i am gnna bolt some 4x4's to the frame, and atleast two wood crossmembers, then slap some plywood on it and some cheap siderails to where i can haul somethin until i get another bed!
