[Doof]

is kevin going to the round up?

if he is can you remind him if you remember to bring my extension... if he isnt could you grab it from him if you remember... its a 3/8ths, its a long one i think its 10 or 12 inches

and clowns camo tarp is somewhere around those parts... i think you said you snagged it at fordyce, but dont remember if it was you or somebody in your group.... anyways thanks pat

[Ramrod]

[kiyul4130]

[Hyena]

ya and you got some beer waiting for me too!

[kiyul4130]

oh ya. is it a date brad. everyone is up here right now. were all ready to get it this weekend. finished the truck 99.9% tonight. tomorrow and its done.

[Yota4life]

Im gonna be there! see you tomarrow night bro.

[Ramrod]

made it through the con alive another time, truck held up good didnt break besides a hole in a tire.  Anybody that has bad things to say about 410s and 40s on a street truck hasnt ever tried it because I go faster up the hills than ever now and have total confidence in the r&P holding up to whatever.  I think im about done with the leaf springs and will be linking the front real soon all i need to buy is the 4 coils for my coilovers, airbumps, and a little plate already have all the links and joints

[Ramrod]

OH but before that im pulling the tcases out maybe today or tomorrow and resealing them and throwing in a longfield output shaft

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

the longfield output is a beast and a great idea!

[Ramrod]

ya i see too many of my friends breaking stockers and now that im running 410s i think the output is definitly a weak link

[TIMS89CRAWLER]

ya I know quite a few people who have broken them as well plus the longfield shaft has a full lifetime warranty which is hella cool.... 4.10's are the only way to roll if you got the cases beefed up enough to take the extra abuse! 

[Austin W]

all your fab looked sick up close and in person when i saw it up there. good job dude.

[Reynolds]

Dude, 4.10's and 40's with a 4cyl is bombing up hills? That must be sarcasm or you are running it in 3rd gear at redline

[Ramrod]

no its 3rd gear and redline, the motor can handle it.  When I say bombing I mean 53mph over donner summit, leaving all my buddies maybe 3/4 of a mile behind

[Reynolds]

no its 3rd gear and redline, the motor can handle it.  When I say bombing I mean 53mph over donner summit, leaving all my buddies maybe 3/4 of a mile behind

Gotcha I guess having the extra strength with 4.10 gears is worth it in the end, Kyle was saying you beat on your truck and it holds up. He's jealous hahah

[kiyul4130]

it sounds like i was an influence to many. callen said hes going to order up a longfield output tomorrow.
