Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Shoulda came over ol man. I needed help with one of the tie rods...got it finally. Thanks @FirstTimeFirstGen for the tip. Just the tip iykwim.



Also.

Nailed it

 

Thanks @916TacoTruck for letting me use the cutters. So much cleaner than a cutoff wheel...lol

 

Hell yeah! Did u use the roller to make the line?

 

Didn't know if you was at your house doing it.
Looks better than I though it would, knowing you, IYKWIM.

 

Nice. I think you should pull those clips out and stick some amber LEDs in there and wire them up to your turn signals.

 

Had my own little project going on, but I would have stopped to watch you.

 

Almost done. They're not pretty, but they'll get the job done. Might have to regear just to haul the extra weight.

 

Yes sir! I still have one rear fender to do and im done. Had to take her in for an alignment. OTRE were shot. I do drive like an asshole

Lol...thanks, i think

Gonna look like a damn circus coming down the road

 

Figured there might be a couple shots in between the coors, then a OPPS moment.

 

Forgot to thank @bayareataco and @Robmonster117 for the brake setup. Came in handy when my wheel bearings seized up last week and fucked up my front brakes. Thanks guys

 

Only at night. You would certainly leave no doubt about your intention to turn or change lanes.

 

Huge thanks to @tyfoon11 for driving all the way down here and spending yet another Saturday doing work in my garage.

Coilovers swapped, all new bushings in my UCAs and the steering TSB done.


Steering slop/clunk/play eliminated.

 

Dam it I'll take the info if any of you two don't pick it up.

 

how much do they weigh?

also are you just going to rattle can them or are you going to get them powder coated

they look sweet

is it as good as the zip ties?

bummed i missed the garage shenanigans with you too hooligans

i got to do a suspension overhaul on my buddies crew cab short bed ford f250 but we had a lift having a lift is so nice when doing suspension i can't wait till i have access to one full time (same buddy is putting one in at the shop on his ranch)

 

also in other news got my prinsu roof rack in today

I got the bare finish because i wanted it white but it was way more expensive for the white so just finished painting it the clear coat is drying and in about half hour I'm going to go out and get it installed

@duncnasty is going to get my stock roof bars in exchange for his weather stripping (and the roof basket he gave me a few months back)

I got a viair on board air system dual 444c pack 200psi with 2.5 gallon tank
they are mounted in the bed right now
and a little bit of beep beep from horn blasters is under the truck because why not I already have a siren (I know they are very illegal but they are really fun)
but the air system is installed and lines are plumbed i have a quick connect in the bedside cubby in the bed for the tire inflator hose
i have to finish up the wiring for the compressors and switches but its almost done

I ordered the A.R.E overland series camper a couple weeks ago should be here in the next week or two to pick up and then ill install the prinsu rack on there and then once that is said and done it'll be time to build a drawer stage system for the bed

Im excited the truck is finally getting to where I want it to bad I don't have enough time to take it out as I used to but soon

 

Im due for another replacement. After my last dirt rendezvous my clunk is back... I think I need to do this one myself. I'm a little over my warranty mileage limit.

 

Let's see some pics and we'll help you macguyver it!

 

They'll probably ended up being around 110 lbs. I'm not sure what is considered heavy. They're about 79" long. The main tube is 2x2x.120 and the outside tube and the pieces connecting it to the main tube are 1.5x1.5x.120. The legs are 2x2x.25. Not looking forward to welding those on.

I'm on a budget, so no powder coating. No need to highlight my welds either. I'll probably do Rust-Oleum truck bed coating to match my fenders and rear bumper. Makes for easy touch up and a good surface to stand on.

 

And to think not long ago you were wanting to sell it.... lol
