Subway4X3 Shameless Copycat Build

i learned long ago not to go at my engine with a power washer anymore lol but glad it was fixed.

 

lloyd since Ive seen you say this a billion times now I have to correct it, its AOAA not AAOA

 

Hey Jim, tomorrow’s a welding day for me at the house. You’re welcome to come over to do any welding or plasma cutting or whatever.

I’m getting ready for AAOA AOAA. Gotta do my TC Cam Tabs and other little welding projects.

 

Me too. I quit doing engine pressure washes eons ago. This was just a measly frickin garden hose wash. Never again.

 

Update on my Hood Pins:

The PS pin pulled away from the stamped sheet metal upper crossmember. Took the whole thing out including the metal sandwiched between the two washers:


I took some much bigger stainless fender washers and sandwiched it back.


Did it on the other side as well because it looked doomed to pull away soon.



I was thinking of welding some kind of reinforcement to the crossmember but that shit was pretty thin gauge. A full crossmember fab is probably the best solution. But I need to find some time. And someone who has already fabbed up something and can send detailed pics/plans.

 

thin metal like that you have to do pulses or it will burn right through, just weld flat stock you can find at home depot for it

 

There’s cracked sheet metal everywhere! The drivers side core support is crumpled. It needs a complete redo.

 

I need you to explain this to me sometime.

 

When you cleaned with hose was you truck running? This helps and I only use the shower on my nozel never hard spray.

 

I have never had a problem cleaning any engine bay on any vehicle iv had. Purple power degreaser with 50% water spray down engy bay, use shower setting on hose and rinse with motor running. Repeat if necessary, works like a charm.

 

U should already have plenty of flat stock that is way better than home depot's cheap junk.

 

This is what I want to do. Winter project. Need a sharp dude that can help me.

 

This is yet another reason why I need to find a square bar stock hookup!

 

Question,I'm thinking about getting the 255/85/16 to run on my 2nd gen. Offroad wheels I see you have wheel spacers listed in your build page did you need those to clear your uca's? thanx.

 

Yup. Exactly this

 

Ok thanks

 

@Halffast555 see quotes above. You want the 48" or 50" straight bars, and order quantity 1 (comes in a pair)
