Alabama thread!

front, front, FRONT.

CV Axles, Tie Rods, Ball Joints, Wheel Bearings, what to look for in any of your front components, etc. For IFS all of the business is in the front.

Changing diff fluids should be added to being able to change your oil, just as easy.

 

Great minds think alike I suppose.

 

but fools rarely differ.

 

So I'm starting to work towards acquiring parts for my Chevy 63 leaf spring swap and decided I'm going to buy brake lines first because why not. I need 28" lines to accommodate the 14 inches of travel I'll have once everything is installed. Anybody know of someone that can make custom lines that long? The guy I was gonna use no longer makes them.

 

Well damn. Maybe I'll have to learn on something smaller and move up to a 210 when I can justify spending the money after I have learned. From what I am seeing, used welders seem to sell pretty decently.


Thanks for the advice on learning with thicker stuff. Would .125" square tube be a good start?

 

I'm sure we have differing opinions on things. I mean look where he works.

 

@Acerwin got custom lines made for his Heep I believe.

 

that's good.

I actually just popped that in there because I recently learned that that quote is used incorrectly.

"Great minds think alike" isn't the full quote. Using it like that implies intelligence by both parties. The real quote though ends with "but fools rarely differ." Which obviously implies no intelligence on both parties. It's meant to be more of a humorous insult than a compliment like most of us have always used it.

 

Drain / refill the diff fluid and transfer case needs to be done every 30k if you are wheeling or towing

 

For sure. That's 11 gauge material. Anything less than that and you'll get frustrated from blowing out the edges of the tubing. Ask me how I know. Lol. First project was a welding cart make from 16 gauge square tube. Kept blowing holes through it and didn't have experience to trouble shoot it right away. Made for a frustrating day.

 

I'd definitely like to know where he got them. The longest lines I've come across for these trucks are 25 inch lines I think.

I think he can make them as long as you want

 

Seller is no longer responding to order....

 

Cv's, suspension, u joints, mild electrical troubleshooting. How to pull plugs is a good one as well.

 

just buy a cheap harbor freight torque wrench and start checking all the bolts on this page

Anyone wanna buy a bare Mathews Creed bow? lol

 

Looks like we're about to upgrade welders.

 

haha. It hasn't been shot in a year. Gotta put the money into something that gets used. If I can sell it, I will buy the 210.

 

Morning everyone!
