you are? aint it kinda early for fordyce? with how high the water is?

[Doof [OP]]

yea, two weeks at how hot it is, the snow will more than likely be gone, so run off shouldnt be a problem, so water levels should go down in my own theory

but we will see

[skipnrocks]

So man did you ever make up your mind on gears and crap, or did I miss it?

[Hyena]

just stay off the clutch as much as possible and you should be fine.  water levels shouldn't be a problem right now.

[Doof [OP]]

night lights

notice the splash from them







about 15 feet to that fense and tires





sliders:



looks like they stick out really far, but they are pretty damn close and perfect distance





poor man bumper stand... welding it on to the brackets and had to get the height just right... so i used what i had to work with and this is what it turned out to be... the bumper looks a lot better painted also

[Goose]

Sick sliders, they look like mine.. but more ghetto 

[Doof [OP]]

Sick sliders, they look like mine.. but more ghetto 

yeah im stoked on how they turned out

whats ghetto about them? just the standard run of the mill slider. just not round tubing

[skipnrocks]

I dont think your  sliders are getto but the tire and 1x6 bumper stand is a bit!!   LOL

[Doof [OP]]

lol that was what i had to work with... its hard to hold up a 80 lb bumper with one hand and weld

[skipnrocks]

its hard to hold up a 80 lb bumper with one hand and weld

Spinach my friend!!   spinach!!   


LOL



No its cool gotta work with what ya got!!

[Doof [OP]]

got my motor swapped and running in about 8.5- 9 hrs

also swapped out my rear axle the other day. tomorrow the locked 3rd is going in and im finishing my welding as well as getting the motor running titties

there is a pretty bad tick. its not the valves, those sounds good. but it might be the timing chain guides so im going to check that out tomorrow as well first thing in the AM. then in the after noon get my welding done and somehwere in the middle swap my 3rds.... so for now those are my updates

[THK Matt]

sounds like you got a lot done.

[skipnrocks]
