[tanabuse]

me and him are bolth running FROR x member same thing  but he as no body lift.  Oh and here are pis of motor lift  blocks i got from 4 cralwer off road .com

[tanabuse]

is that all did i cover what you were gonna cover lol

i can point out more if you want?

[tanabuse]

so i went wheeling at the same place where i blew out my crawl box on the 26th of december. walker valley ORV park. I had a ton of fun there.  here are some pix. good thing i called my good buddy in his jeep. Because if we got stuck any where i know he would help us out thats wheeler code. and on that note this guy is a grate guy he would drag you down the trail upside down if needed. we only saw 6 trucks yesterday us three looking to be the most modifyed. it was nice  to be wheeling with one of the biggest bugys here in WA state those tires are 49'' iroks by 22'wide   hes running all d60 dulley with the dulley wheel spacers still on  that thing is like a tank

[tanabuse]

here are the last of them

[tanabuse]

well iv'e ben playing around with the idea of on bord air so i got it done. i used a motorcraft ac compressor of a 76 ford truck its like the same thing as a york it has an internal oil reservoir  its grate setup you can even run inpact tools off of it. its sweet oh and i found out a deal on a motor that was ran on propane so you dont need to set up a big oiling setup running around under ypur hood asking to get cut open its whole life its a 20R out of an 75 2wheel drive with less the 7xxxx so im gonna go over it and make sure that  motor is all good so i can have a grate spare oh and did i say also i get the propane setup as well every thing you need - the tank for  500 buck  :think:s im stoked

ok way off subject and im sorry but i saw a picture of that dash where you had the radio installed in the same slot as the old stock, looked like it was some sort of adapter kit?  where did you get this???  i have been looking for a way to install a new radio in my 82 and have had no luck other than building a custom dash panel?  any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

[tanabuse]

yeah you know im really sorry i bought the truck wit it  in it but from what i can tell the black plasitc around the deck looked like it was just modifyed frome something like another deck cage cover but thats it and the deck is in a bird cage  mounted to the dash so all i can say  is be creative with it i know its like inpossible but may be just go into a local stero installer and bring your deck in and find something that fits around it niceley and find a way to mount it  on there mine dont even look like that no more i f***** it all up and the outer black cover wont stay on any more it was being held on by some black tackey apoxy  like substace i dont know for sure  well i hope some of this helps you out  and i was just not ranting off  into wonderland lol well tell me or show me  how it turns out 

[Yeagley]

had too. to do two inch drivetrain lift so my tranny and transfer are above frame rails only thing hanging down is one inch of transfer out put 

You didnt have to...You could of cut the floor and made the tranny and t-case all the way above the bottom of the frame. Now you raised your center of gravity.

[tanabuse]

yeah well i could do that. but i would loose my heater. up here its wet and cold most of the time it sucks. and i'm allready hiting my body when i flex out up front on the spot for your feet

[SloCrawler]

[tanabuse]

well i have full on bord air via york with 12.5 gallons of air tanks and i have a propain set up i will be installing this weekend

[tanabuse]

well i was driving around and my truck kept wanting to drag me  into the oncoming   lane when ever i would hit the breaks so i started to check out to my discovery i found this on my passenger side i think the picture says everything

[fade]

how in the hell do you do that?  I've seen rotors warped so bad they dont sit flat, and grooved really bad. But never one cut in half like that.

[tanabuse]

well i dont know i brought it in to my local napa when i bought a replacement they said they had never seen a  rotor  like  that befor. well they only thing i can say that may have to to do with it  wheel spacers and i dident cut it at all it sheered away from the pad surface areaand the crack is all the way through the dam rotor

[tanabuse]

  i just picked up a miller 140 auto set and a plasma cuter  for $600.00 man i got a deal    dam its time to start the fabing

[tanabuse]

well   where did my front axel go 

[tanabuse]

well i dont know but i diden't cut it it sheered off like that i took that of my truck needsless to say im runnng vented rotors now

how in the hell do you do that?  I've seen rotors warped so bad they dont sit flat, and grooved really bad. But never one cut in half like that.

[fade]

so what happend to your truck? the axle looks gone along with the leafs? Hope it was not stolen and found like that. But then I hope it did not break off either. So whats up?
