AZ BS Thread 4²0

Yeah no shit.. what a bummer.

Site contact said they are on phase 2/5 planned Phases. Building the power plant and metal stamping buildings currently

 

My old neighbor worked for them and would bring a rally fighter home every so often. Got to drive it once and it was amazing.

 

Yeah.. not yet anyways. But they were passed the Rally Fighter anyways and onto a new joint project called the Ollie.. that's what we were doing for them. Billet suspension components.. and now we have 50 vehicles worth of finished parts just sitting here.. and another 50+ vehicles worth of raw material.. all possibly going to be scrap.. unless someone comes in and backs the project again and picks up where they left off. That's what we're hoping for.. as most of the leg work is done. They've had live units testing for some time now as well. Otherwise... We're out about six figures. It was a sudden surprise to us a couple weeks ago.

 

Looking at Ollie, it doesn't seem like billet pieces would be necessary. Its a bus.

oh trust us... we know..

Everything we have ever done for them has been overkill and overpriced. These things use Wilwoods dude.. We made hundreds of Wilwood adapters for their proprietary Billet Spindles. It was a shock when we heard.. but not why. Funding.. hard to do when they're wanting top tier components for like you said.. a bus. We had no idea they were in a tight spot.. they kept placing massive orders.

 

Its easy to understand wanting the best. But they needed a model similar to the US Postal service. Every truck I see is built on a dying chevy S-10 chassis. Oh well. Hopefully its not a huge issue for your shop and you can at least right it off.

 

Ehh.. it's definitely a sore spot right now.. I keep asking if he's heard anything... Nothing yet.

 

Hey Fellas, Anyone have a part number for the front drive shaft U joints? 2nd Gen ACLB. Im doing a conversion to 4x4 and would like to replace them before install..
Ive currently got a cart full of shit and would like to add them to the list if possible. Might be cheaper at VatoZone?? idk
Thanks for any help

 

There is a parts search thread on this forum somewhere. Let me look around and see if I can find it.

Edit: I think this is is. The front and rear are interchangeable.

@Yacob_D If its just the universal joint just buy one wherever. Just make sure its a Moog brand. Pay the little bit extra. I got mine at orielys when I just did all my bushings and joints.

 

Awesome, That is what i have found with a little bit of searching. It never hurts to ask! New to TW and have found most members are very helpful without being dicks to the new guys! I have lots to learn about my truck!
Thsi AZBS thread is Effing hilarious!

 

Yeah we all try to be helpful...As much as we can be. If we make fun of you its just us testing the waters to see if youre cool or not. But always feel free to ask. We were all new at one point.

And yes....yes we are hilarious!

 

Dick.

Only funny when you don’t leave work and actually reply lol.

 

Just dont come in posting about your diff drop lift and patagonias, you'll get flamed right outta town.

Only one guy in here is allowed to run Patagonias...

 

Hey I’m running Patagonia’s. And have been for over 2 years now. I had them before they were cool

 

You're the one guy I was talking about

 

Good to know! I feel welcome already ✌
Ill have to start a build thread, ive put a good amount of work into my taco already. Excited to do the 4x4 conversion and open up a whole new rabbit hole to explore. Just need a transmission to complete my large part list.
