50+ thread

When I was rebuilding my sliders I actually had to learn a bit about that. The leading edge of your sliders should be even with the outside of your front tire, The kickout, if you have 1 should stick out well beyond your rear tire. I could go more in depth as to why but will see if I can find a pic of mine and they are also kicked up as that will psh you off objects. I see alot of these siders that pretty much hug the rockers.

 

A picture of the difference would be good right now. I took 4 years of welding in high school and every time I start welding it always comes back to me. Tig welding was the best. That is all I did my senior year. Loved it. Not sure I would do well at it these days.

 

Yeah I heard they were pricey but worth it thanks

 

Yea I had to get it all now or go back and build another business case with the boss

 

Shoot man you did great and it'll give you a good secure start. I'm still working on mine and have only had it out a few times. The money don't grow on trees for me

 

They are anti theft for security and go around the hinge, It is probably not appropriate to post a link here but they are in the for sale 2nd gen thread.

 

Well @Casper66 and I could go on about different ways to make metal do what we want, guns, dogs , camping and camping gear lol don't be bashful not sure we could discuss macramé or beading with you but we could try :} LOL Sorry that just kind of flowed real good to good to not use It :}

Look in the diy mods there is a post telling you how to do it all you need is a hose clamp, really

 

I don't even know what the hell a macrame is I know maccaroni. I have done some cross stitching like 30 years ago. Your the one in touch with your femanine side

 

My first post in here was meant for you all to talk me out of spending my retirement on my truck, and it failed so now I am going to just spiral out of control. None of these parts will get installed anytime soon and have long lead times so I figured I better start with the cheaper stuff. Suspension, wheels, tires, bumpers oh crap! what did I do

 

@M21henry see @scleaf could even play make metal into things :}

Actually macramé is part of rope / string / 550 cord weaving we all have done it making key chains and such some make huge plant holders or hammocks etc.

Ha armor is the cheaer stuff. Wait until you price bumpers. Personally I'd try to find a good deal on a used one if you can. Usually just a basic plain plate steel bumper is around 800. Try an aluminum with full hoops

 

I wish I knew how to do that

 

I want a hammock for the back of my truck. This way I can sit in the driveway and save money on gas as all the weight I add will just allow me to go around the block once or twice

 

Lol And on that note keep in touch with yourself .. And I am off to the sheets back to back DR visits tomorrow joy oh joy .

Cypher

 

never done that but sounds interesting

 

Me too Night y'all

 

It actually is relaxing like your needle work didn't Rosie Greer also do needle work or Knit or something. You can make a lot of useful stuff go you tube it and see all the para cord stuff etc.

That was the RCI armor, sliders I hear ya on the weight. I am going to add helium baloons to the bottom of my truck when it is all said and done.. maybe I can get 20 MPG!
