[mayberry]

that looks effin tits bro i wanna see it in person

[46&2]

Looks badass man. Just got done reading your thread definitely looks a lot better with some rubber and a solid axle. Are you going to cut those ubolts down? they look longer than your bumpstop

And I gotta give you for this one....you're wearing a Sierra Nevada sweatshirt in this picture.....




....and drinking that Miller lime flavored piss water in this picture?! WTF?! 



Nice rig man, turned out sick.

[THK Matt]

what flexalite fan and stuff did you use?
even though you have a 3.slow

[ontherocks]

thanks for all the comments, and i like miller! and any sierra nevada! i got the flex-a-lite black magic e-fan swap from summit racing.

 first wheelin mission and some awsome carnage! fun times.  8)
  me
 
 
 
  scott(goose)
 
  buddy gunner bein crazy in that nice of a truck
 
  and some guy we met out there beatin his rig down! he jumped it a couple times
 
  my hot woman and my hot truck
 

[ontherocks]

that last one gos with this pic
 
  first carnage wasnt bad, some bolt backed outa my power steering box and it blew a bunch of fluid (thought my box blew) easey fix
 
 
 
  next was bad, my spring hanger was welded lite so i could check shackel angle after springs settle and it broke off!!! 
 
 
  so, it got dark and we dident have much to work with so we flipped the hanger back over and wrapped it to the crossmember with a tow strapas tight as we could. then we get to the gates at the claypits and the gate is locked, took an hour and a half to get a ranger out there to let us out. and another hour and a half to limp it to the shop 5 miles away at 2 miles an hour.
 
 
 
   

[NorCalToy]

nice. didnt take long to start breakin did it?

[ontherocks]

 

nice. didnt take long to start breakin did it?

just some savage wheelin! me and scott were crawlin stuff in 2wd without slipin a tire that EVERY other rig either dident make it or beat the livin outa em in 4wd and barely made it.   

[46&2]

Hahah that sucks. At least you were only 5 miles from home, not 50 

[Thomas P]

shitty story, but everything looks nice, even the truck, easy fix......

[THK Matt]

least you had your girl with ya, smokin!

[DTB]

what bolt backed out of your steering box? the adjusting bolt on top?


and please tell me you didnt drive that on the street with a tacked hangar 

[THK Matt]

you set yourself up for that though... right DTB?
always FINISH WELD!

[DTB]

you set yourself up for that though... right DTB?
always FINISH WELD!

tack weld is just to set the truck down on the ground for a minute and look at the shackle angle......

NEVER to be driven on ......wheeling or especially on the street where you are endangering mine and everyone elses lives...

[fatt_matt]

sick sick sick rig.. clean!

[Goose]

what bolt backed out of your steering box? the adjusting bolt on top?


and please tell me you didnt drive that on the street with a tacked hangar 

Yeah it was the top adjusting nut, i tightened it back down for him...

They werent tacks, I laid 3 inch and a half beads on the front and back of the hanger, we didnt wanna fully weld the hanger and gusset it until his springs mashed (they're brand new) and we were sure his shackle angle was gonna be ok.
And my welds didn't break, it actually ripped the metal from that stock front crossmember, if you look you can see part of the chunk it ripped off the backside. 
his springs are still way stiff

[ontherocks]

yup, scott said it. fixed now, welded the outa it! and i have a bad death wobbel, had it befor carnage and it still dose it. put on steering stabelizer and re-alined it, sitll dose it. gonna try re torqing wheel spacers and U bolts. but where should i start if that dont work? have tires balanced? when i get my shocks on will that help? 

[Goose]

If its still doing it, its probably your tires kyle.
I notice i get it when i have mud sticking on my tires and it throws em of balance..
I bet your tires are just off some from being worn..
BTW, I'm gonna try the BB balancing trick with my new tires and see if it works,
I hear from more and more people that it does..
