GHOST SHIP: Custom Chingaderas

You got it man! Just gotta bring me your other truck now and get those sliders on

 

If anyone follows local threads, there’s some big stuff going down tomorrow. In preparation for that, I converted my stock shackle hangers to bolt on.

 

This man's fab skills are too legit 2 quit. His designs are so hot that you cant touch this. I heard that it's Hammer Time. Sup Sergio!

 

BAMF or Archive?

Or Sergio? For some reason I wouldn’t doubt that

 

Zomgggg

 

Got some stuff for sale if anyone is interested.

CMC and TC cam tab gussets today on @Willyummk ’s 2nd gen.

 

Thank you again for the amazing work!

 

Yes!!! The TC cam tabs are great! I also did the weld on spindle gussets at the same I also suggest those next time you go see @GHOST SHIP

 

Sergio did a quick leaf swap for me today. Super nice, obviously knows what he’s doing, really happy with the whole transaction !!! Thanks again.

 

Make sure to get those new u bolts sooner rather than later. I’m sure someone here has a stock set they can send you for next to nothing.

That one stripped nut doesn’t give me a lot of confidence but I’m glad we found it and were still able to get you put back together.

 

@WillyTtaco Sergio is really good at what he does. His fab/welding skills are top notch and as you probably know already, he works quickly and efficiently. And on top of that, he's super down to earth and is a great resource for the local SoCal taco group. You guys are lucky.

But anyways, i have some extra u-bolts (square). What length do you need? You can have mine if its the right size.

 

Yeah definitely ! Looking forward to working with him in the future.

Pretty sure stock length would work. Just have an add a leaf in the stock pack. If you have a full set with nuts that would be awesome !

 

Today’s PSA:
Keep an eye on your ProEagle jack extension. I was working under a truck when I heard a pop. Didn’t know what it was and the truck didn’t move because I keep pressure on the floor jack even when there’s weight on the jack stands.


Close inspection shows a lot of porosity in the aluminum which indicates a poor alloy mix and little to no prep at the weld area. I bought this extension a few years ago and it’s worked perfectly until this past week.

I ordered a replacement from Kartek and the new version I received is made of steel. The weld still looks suspect and doesn’t appear to have full penetration but I can correct that if it ever fails.

 

Need to check mine. Bought it a week after you got yours.

Dang it Batman!

 

Granted I probably use mine more than most people since I have several trucks in here every week, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

 

Still have these sliders available if anyone is interested.

 

Hey everyone. Just for transparency, I’ve been really slow to respond to PMs lately but I’m slowly getting through them. If you have a question that went unanswered, I’m not intentionally ignoring you. I injured my shoulder a couple weeks ago and can’t lift anything with one arm, let alone fab or install anything with a busted wing. I’ll respond to everyone as I work through the messages but heavy lifting is taking a back seat to “easier” jobs for now.

 

I mean if you were looking for an apprentice on weekends I would not say no.
