Jrock's BuildUp

[86yoter]

ya neighbors suck bro i bought a bank owned home in to yuppie of a neighborhood for me though. you know country club up the street people with grapes growing across the street. it was a good buy though. while i was working on my truck i got called on about three time in a week and a half. i say can't you see i am working on my truck. they are just jelouse because there wifes are saying why can't you do stuff like that.  i can't even paint trim i got called on for that 6months ago.  do they have anything better to do.

Haha, sounds like my place but Im living in a semi-hick town. Everyone's related to a rancher or grower around here. My neighborhood is full of working people (including cops), families and everything in between. No one else has looked twice except to say "Wow, Nice truck". Cop across the street hasnt said anything. Cop next door hasent said anything. Sheriff around the corner is working on his Jeep in the driveway. New neighbor across the street loves my work. Next door neighbor asked me to fix her car.

My truck was like this for 5 minutes and when we put it on the trailer it didnt make a sound. I couldnt have done it faster nor quite'er with a hoist. That neighbor was out taking pictures of me. I think I waved in one of them

You ever find out why the rear end was shifted over?

love it!

Not entirely. The top leaf of the passenger side looks a little twisted but that could be due to whatever the other problem is. I still need to take the weight off of everything and loosen it all. Then Ill check on whats up and if the frame is straight. Should be done in a couple days.

Just saw this in pirate in the free adds.

Damn, that guy wants $350 for a dented up cab and bed.

[jrock]

So I measured the frame and it's 1/4" out of square. I'm not sure it was perfect to begin with buuuuuuuut I've got a come-along on it trying to straighten it out a tad. Once I get it where I like, I will leave it for 24 hours and hopefully it holds 

[nisota]

I hope so too 

[superyota]

1/4 inch is nothing! It's not even going to be noticeable. Your good to go.

[jrock]

Good to know, Good to go. I should be cutting off the shock hoops and sliders this afternoon and may start cleaning up the fame.

[jrock]

What do you all think? The top lead is pretty bent and it shifting my axle over. I'm thinking of having a local spring shop re arch and straighten the top leafs.

[John Doe]

That is pretty twisted  . Would a shop be able to straighten it out?

Are those f-150 rears? If so those leafs are junk! Twisted mine like lightening bolts

[*** YELLER ***]

They are MC 4"

[superyota]

If your shackle is still straight, wouldn't it sit straight regardless if the spring being tweaked a bit? Throw a rachet strap on it and yank it back til it bends back 

[jrock]

Shackles aren't straight.

[jrock]

Catch a ride with mike Wilms. He's leaving Friday morning.

[Gixxer Jon]

I would but don't think I'm physically ready for the altitude change with still dealing with this pneumonia.

[superyota]

Still not feeling ?

[Gixxer Jon]

Still not feeling ?

Feeling alot better but if trying to do any kind of work or anything dealing with cardio my lungs start to hurt and get shortness of breathe.

Thought this was a unimog for a good minute and a half HAHAHA!

[superyota]

Good seeIng you this weekend buddy. It was a good trip. Got your note on my tow rig this morning when we got out. Thanks!

[jrock]

Thanks SolidAxle

It was good seeing you SuperYota.

And for Rubicon: Good trip. One guy broke both front main leafs, another broke off a control arm mount, another broke off a  front shackle mount. Blown relay on a fan for a 5.3 Vortec in a CJ. I wish I had had my truck though. Would have made a show out of it

[jrock]

Steps to removing sliders. It's a PITA, just do it right the first time.
