yeah they frequently send letters saying we have engines laying in the driveway. Or my personal favorite. The engine has fallen out onto the driveway. I don't know what that means.

no idea. I had one blow up on me while driving on the freeway out to an even. It blew out the bottom but it didn't fall out.... but they wanted to fine me because it had fallen out and left on the driveway?

Did a little work on the truck this weekend. Welded the front spring hanger on

I moved the spring hanger an inch or two forward.

Here's some front shots. I got some sliders and a box mount and hopefully the rest of my steering will get here soon. Should have the sliders, gm master cylinder and brake lines, and steering this weekend

Are you gonna try to keep any kind of a bed or anything? or just full tube?

Lizard_lips

October 19, 2007, 02:31:14 PM
well I don't have a bed right now. I'll be making a tool box holder for it and a spare tire mount just for the events.  But I might pick up a bed for cheap tube it out and see if I can some how put the skins on. But then again. We'll have to see

Some pics from the weekend. Got the sliders on, the 2" body lift. My steering hasn't shown up yet. made the plates to adapt the master cylinder, removed all the stock brake lines and found out that the lines and fittings and everything I had didn't work so I need to get new brake lines again. I'll have some better pics of things later

sliders


and the gm master cylinder

Thanks, My steering still hasn't shown up. I need to call them so I can atleast drive it down and have a rear drive shaft made. and then finish the front square driveshaft. I'm selling the crossmember and going with a front range offroad crossmember instead to push it up and make a flat belly.

Finished up the truck. Never made the event I was building for. The front driveshaft was late and ended up making one and then had problems with the calipers. They were leaking so I went to pick some up at the junk yard. Here's the pics.

Line loc ran into the cab



Front range offroad crossmember. The crossmember's great. I'll be moving it up about another inch or so.



square front shaft


ford shock towers and 12" travel rancho's


box moved forward, sky's pitmar arm


Finished pics of the truck

Ended up going with some 38x15 swampers grooved. And when I ordered the wheels they screwed up again and now I have 2 white wheels and 2 black wheels. UPS took forever and the driveshaft was supposed to be here friday and never was. I ended up making one and didn't have the right flange for the transfer side and the calipers were leaking and wouldn't seal. I ended up picking up some at the junk yard and went to register it and went wheeling.

Those tires look small on there...

What event were you tryin' to make?

November 06, 2007, 02:22:33 PM
It'll have one tons soon and 44's or 42's. I was trying to make a local event called hump and bump. but ups sucks and delivered the driveshaft to the wrong place so I had to waste time making one when I could've been doing the brakes andran out of time.

Yeah I thought about driving over there, but figured it'd be kinda gay since i couldn't actually wheel. If i can get some gas money, I might go out there this weekend.

yeah I'm going to try and plan something out there with some guys. I have another truck I want to build but probably going to sell it and get something else. You live in vegas? Hopefully i'll go out again soon and have better wheeling pics. Been really busy with things. so we'll see

I live in moapa. I need to get out and get some drivin' done so that when my truck is more capable, i'll be able to actually use it.

You should let me know when you come out, might be kinda cool to meet you and hang out for a minute or two.

yeah. I'm down for that. I'll keep you posted about that. Hopefully I should have some more wheeling pics soon. Atleast I will on turkey day.
