build tall mounts for em? or hold off till you can get a set. I was talkin with Kevin today at work, he wants me to come over to his shop and even offered to help revalve my shocks and get the right amount of nitrogen pressure in the reservoirs. Now that kevin is there i'm even less productive at work lol!

Birfailed · « **Reply #67 on:** Jan 23, 2007, 09:32:16 PM »

Like this with .75 jam nut on underside of shackle, and a welded nut on top w/ .75x.75 high mis-alignment spacers

Hey man just looked over your build up.

Your way beyond me in fabbin skills, I like the idea though, it'll be cool to see how it turns out. $Beer Chug\'n$

He's got a gen 1 2wd flatbed that he drives to work. he hasn't been crawlin lately and has no rig. he's been pretty busy doing Class 7 CORR racing i think is what he said. 300hp 3.4 Tacoma is what I think he said, total chaos front end

boggerunner · « **Reply #71 on:** Jan 23, 2007, 10:45:36 PM »

Birfailed · « **Reply #72 on:** Jan 23, 2007, 10:48:28 PM »

boggerunner · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 23, 2007, 10:52:46 PM »

toytank · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 24, 2007, 08:17:20 AM »

Birfailed · « **Reply #75 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 06:12:03 PM »

Here they are, and a day early! I won't be putting em in till I regear the R&P. And then I'll be replacing every seal and bearing in the axle too. Hopefully with these I won't be back in there for a while. Gonna finish the Spring sleeves tomorrow, it's going alot slower than I originally thought since it's really been pickin up at work. But then again I measure everything 10 times, then look at it with a level, then re-measure, and of course I gotta put a speed square on it to know all my angles, and then I gotta drink a beer while I kick back and brainstorm some more. I'm sloooow lol.

boggerunner · « **Reply #76 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 06:45:56 PM »

im sooooooo jelouse right now, they are so purdy

Birfailed · « **Reply #77 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 06:48:46 PM »

here's a good shot of the end of the axle shafts that go into the birf, notice no kneckdown. 30 spline all the way around. and a shot of my pathetic progress on the sleeves. both of em are at the same point, gotta take em to the shop and finish weld the tube and skin it all with .25

toytank · « **Reply #78 on:** Jan 25, 2007, 07:13:05 PM »

sweeeeeet new stuff is always cool

Birfailed · « **Reply #79 on:** Jan 26, 2007, 04:52:48 PM »

Actually got something done...I gotta shim it with some 3/16" steel strap and then I can bolt it to the spring.

toytank · « **Reply #80 on:** Jan 26, 2007, 07:39:19 PM »

so how does the sleeve attatch to the spring

alwayzbroken · « **Reply #81 on:** Jan 26, 2007, 08:36:05 PM »

Does anybody know what the red paint on the 30 splines is for? They all seem to have it.

Birfailed · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 26, 2007, 09:18:23 PM »

alwayzbroken...i believe that's how they identify thier grade of steel. or it could be bobby longs way of determining the 30's from the 27's...well maybe not that, you could just see if it has a kneck down or not. russel, the sleeve attches to the spring with a bolt...a hole travels through the sleeve, through the spring pack, and out the other side

toytank · « **Reply #83 on:** Jan 27, 2007, 08:14:22 AM »

sweet i was hoping there wasnt a plan to weld it sorry to dought ya looking way good cant wait to see that flex out. your truck needs a nickname mine the tank. bogger runner is the moon buggy, im thinking it need a name from alaska of some sort to represent home ya know like carobou or avalanch, or fu***** cold lol

boggerunner · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 27, 2007, 08:43:10 AM »

FYI Alaskan Assassin is some dudes screen name on pirate. However the name "cuddly koala" is still available, not from Alaska but twice as cute, kinda like your woman

Birfailed · « **Reply #89 on:** Jan 27, 2007, 02:42:04 PM »

Well, Alaskan Assassin is the name of the alaska monster truck lol, it's not a very creative name when it's already in use. I dunno what I'll call it. Here's what happened today...
