Casper's Broken Down old Grumpy Assed Build

Well best of luck I’m sure you’ll find something ne that suits your needs and you’ll make it as nice as the other

 

What happened with the turd gen you posted in the secret lair about?

 

Yeah I did the G.T. mount on the oh shit handle for my phone. It's really nice having it there. Going to get a CB and mini HAM set up soon. Thankfully there is someone close that knows how to tune them and all.

 

It was to far away and was going to cost over 2k to transport it to Tejas

 

If you find one up near me let me know there is a guy up here that is a transporter and I could get in touch with him and see what it would be for hooking up a TW express. s.

 

Tuning the cb is easy idk about the ham.

 

Yeah I don't know about either back in the day when I had my amplfied cb and had it peak and tuned I took it to a guy and had him do it all. I could talk and listen on the cab over 100 miles away. It was a pretty badass non FAA or whatever compliant system

 

I got the Cobra 75wxs or whatever it is. I like it so far I mounted the box under the seat and the handheld on the trans tunnel out of the way. When I want to use it I just lay it on my lap other than that you don’t see it

 

hey chris,just snooping.used to run a connex peaked and tuned to bear hunt something like 17 watts with no lineaur upper/lower side bands.i could shoot from shenadoah mountain to people on your side of the mountain.the guy that made the kool aid would get pissed cause i had the echo turned up.id say hey jimjimjim where u atatat.they all use ham now.let me know about the pick up for you!

 

Garage cleaned! Woohoo! Rotated the tires. Good lord I wish any of you lived closer so I could get some help sometimes. I've been rotating everyother oil change becuase well it's kinda difficult at times. It's done though and went ahead and recoated some of the frame and the CMC which I'd had to do hastily when it was originally done. I got a start on fabbing a bracket to mount the catch can also.

 

What do you coat your frame with? Pics of the bracket!!!! And lastly you have an extra bar attached to your spindle.

 

bracket not done yet hopefully this afternoon. I just "coat the frame" with paint really just to clean it up some and it helps keep it easy to clean. I did spray the CM with bedliner for some added protection before top coating. Nothing extra added to the spindle yet I would like to order some gussets for it or just make them. Good morning btw

 

Good morning. I was talking about your sway bar hahaha. I took mine off and didn't really notice much if any difference in on road handling but off road there is quite a bit of difference.

 

I have considered it but pulling the camper IDK if it's a good idea or not

 

Hmmmm that is a consideration since it adds some more dynamic loads to the vehicle. There's a guy that added some of those air helper springs to his and he said it helped out a bunch with being able to level it and settle the loads.

 

Truck would need to be offroad first. This is his daily, camper pulling pavement pounder. No real benefit or reason to pull a swaybar on his truck.

 

Ummmm look at my build thread mines a daily, hauler, work, etc truck and I don't run a sway bar. The trailers I haul are usually bigger than the camper.

 

Chris you whoring out your truck again?

 

But the point I was trying to make was that yours goes offroad on occasion, his does not.

 

I did not have any problems with it now that’s why I’m skeptical about removing sway bar
