Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Hey ya'll . long day installing a suspension kit and just catching up on this thread..

Thanks Tom! glad I could help

Chan! Whats up man? how have you been?

Yes they do I have this set up with tubular UCA's and have welding them on multiple trucks with the same set up. Per @Airdog on the billet UCA's, the rod end spacers need to be cut to fit.

PM me with what you need welded

I do tube work, fabrication and welding, pm me with what you need welded.

Sorry to hear, I wish your family my best.

 

Praying for your bro man. Wish him the best.



All you guys have some welding projects going on. I was working on my tube bender today.

 

Nice! what kind of tube bender do you have? are you using air or electric hydro? I like having the tube bender on a movable stand. Mine is mounted to my fab table which is nice for mocking up and keeping stuff steady but a pain for mobility.

 

It's a jd2 model 3. I added some casters. I like it mobile so I can wheel it away. I got the swag harbor freight air ram. Just have a 1.75" die. Will probably pick up an 1" later on for detail work on the truck. I love tools too much.

Reading up on brake presses for bending plate like mounting tabs and a custom suspension parts for the truck

 

Pm sent

 

I love all the swag products, I'd love to get the plate bender kit but dont have anymore room. I have the JMR air/ hydro kit, I plan on upgrading to a e-hydro soon, I got spoiled using a buddies and now air hydro feels slow.
I know the feeling about tools, I'm a tool whore haha

 

Lucky I haven't spoiled myself before. I'm still slow at tube bending because I've only used buddies stuff. It's just a hobby so I don't mind having slow tools for only using stuff every so often. The garage is getting stuffed for me too. Need to sell things to make room,lol

 

Worse part was I gave it back to him and I still use it more then him lol. dont get me wrong mine isint that bad, if I had a larger compressor it would be faster. My kit is air assisted hydro so its an easy upgrade, it just needs the electric hydraulic fluid pump and controller since it already uses a hydraulic fluid ram.
I keep telling myself that I need to get rid of stuff and some how keep ending up with more stuff. GLWS! haha

 

I want to thank everyone for the support!!! They're still doing TESTs and what not? My stupid brother, the only thing he could think about was, "how am I gonna pay for yada yada yada..." LOL!!! My sister said to me that that is a "good sign" as it shows positiveness, on his part, of expectaing to make it through this... to which to me, makes sense! So her and I did laugh about it and it "lightened the mood", if you will?! Her and I will be going back to see him after her and her husband get out of church. Anyways, it seems as if they are already discussing operating within the next day or so??? Hence, the TESTING and results of those TESTS to determine the next course of action? My sister and I are hoping to see the doctor today and/or tomorrow! What is cool is that the GI doctor is my mom's doctor... pretty cool... and my mom and sister love the guy!

Sorry for the long post people. Again, I want to say, "thank you" for all the support!!! The end of last year and the beginning of this year has just been full of BS and very, very stressing for me!!! Now this?! The "old man upstairs" is pi$$ed-off at me and TESTING me???!!! LOL!!! Gotta get a laugh about it somewhere, right? Thanks again guys/gals... you guys, the "usual suspects" are just AWESOME peeps!!!

 

Happy Easter... I'm at work... FML But you guys enjoy

 

Happy Easter everyone!
Enjoy your Sunday

Can't wait for the bbq that will commence later >:]

 

Annnnnd I'm back in class.

Traffic was light? Holy Jim was pretty cool yesterday. Falls were moving pretty good!

 

Hmmm bbq... Your making me hungry, and jealous

 

There was actually water at the falls? Guess I'll need to hike that again soon

 

Yup, I'm not sure what a heavy flow would be from there but it was coming down pretty good. Supposed to rain this week I believe, probably gonna be real good next weekend.

 

Every time I've been out there it's just a trickle and a dirty pool of water. I'll go out after it rains!

 

Oh it was definitely heavier than a trickle. I'll post up some pictures later when I get home. Definitely a worthy hike!

 

Hahah every time I've done that hike, the falls have always let me down.

 

Hahaha I was disappointed when we hike it. I was like where's the falls? Lmao they called this water falls, it's a trickle of water. Although it's a great hike
