April 7-9 ill be there with a posse of jackasses

 

well dammit. ill have another trip in sept or so ill let it be known when we figure out a date.

 

this one is a shakedown run for my friends F250 and to test out the bypasses finally. Mainly for my birthday but you know how that goes.

 

@ERMB

One question, how did you round the Aluminum 2.5in x 6ft long x 1/8in sheet for the side panels?

 

Lower Ball joints ordered. Just need CV's next.

 

i dont like going super fast, too much shit can happen at higher speeds.

 

Mojombo says "take it slow, baby.. we have all night."

 

i only like to jump if its flat landing and i can see shit. Its still my daily so i just screw around and go have some fun.

 

I tried a few different ways.

1. metal blade on a coping saw
2. small cut off blade on a dremmel
3. thin metal blade of a jig saw.

believe it or not the coping saw was the most accurate, jig was fast but required the most finish work to clean up little errors in wander same as the dremmel.

 

Get a long fucking breaker bar.

 

Do you think a cordless impact will work better? Also heard the hi-lift bar works good as a breaker bar.

 

That's my plan right now. Also need to get a 37mm socket

 

This for CVs?

 

Yes

 

I'll double check, thought 3rd was 37mm, could be wrong though. Been a bit since I looked.

 

Meh need to get that before Saturday

 

Hoping to get it done this month or next. Depends on how soon I can find a transmission though.

 

Thought it was 36mm....I have no clue anymore. Only changed 2 CV's before then switched to manual hubs which I don't need the socket for.

 

I'll definitely check a write up before I buy.

 

3rd gen is 35mm
