Long Travel BS Thread

Yea, someone on here was looking at some random LT kit, was totally a ZZR kit he was trying to sell under a different name

 

And 18 year olds with whatever money they have been saving keep him in business.

 

Ugh. Met some dude at that Score bar down in Chula Vista once, he said his ranger had a ZZR kit, i asked gow his bumpsteer was, he said he goes through 4 sets of a tires a year.

 

Dez at Nexgen got me set up with 6 1.25" heims, bungs, and misalignments for my 4 link.

 

I plated over the pockets with 1/8" on both sides, then made "cam tabs" out of 1/4", and used a 3/4" grade 8. bolt it all up, align it, tack it, and burn it in. make sure you take the lower out so you don't melt the bushings. works great and is strong af

 

So I could only find 2 or 3 econoline vans near Phoenix that are the right year for a rear end. Anyone near there know of any good places to check? I'll be down there October 13 and wanna pick one up hopefully

 

Careful when you weld..

 

Yikes what happened?

 

Somebody tried to catch themselves on fire.....

 

Meh a little neosporne and get back to work!

 

Selling my Econoline 9" with Currie Axles plus brakes and rotors. Just a bit too narrow for my application.

Flash fire from a fuel cell I forgot about. 3rd degree on arm, 1st degree on face/neck. I'm on morphine and fentenol now. Time to get scrubbed with a wite brush. Fuck me.

 

What year econoline vans have the 69'' wide 9'' axles?

 

I believe it is early 80's but I cant remember for sure. I will look it up

Edit: Mine is from an '81

 

Looks like it got you pretty good.. were you right above it?
heal up quick man...

 

Directly over it. 42 gallon cell means lots of volume... never forget that sound. Waa-woooom!!! In the back of the ambulance, I can hear the driver hollar back at the emt I'm with saying " someone is running all the red lights and stop signs behind us and driving like an idiot"...yeah....that was my wife. She was freaking out and was afraid to lose the ambulance.

 

77-86

 

Wish you the best recovery bud!

 

Did she think this was some ploy for you to disappear and be done with the marriage?

 

Dam man! Sorry that happened!
