Hell yea...we should move in together

 

Just curious dude, what were you building the 351W for?

 

Too late...

Realistically we'll be gone for ~6 months so @Sixthelement truck will barely be half done when I get back.

You can just stay at my house, it will be empty.

Bulleit Rye for this guy

 

Got all the lift parts bolted on, working solo tonight but dang the front was way easier than the rear. I was all excited then went to bolt the tire on....nada. Spacer time!

 

Shit, am I the bottom dweller then with my handle of Jim Beam black? $47 for a 1.75L to sit on.

It stops tasting like Jim Beam after the 3rd one, I swear.

 

Give Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond 100 proof a try (white label)...~$32 for 1.75L and surprisingly good.

 

Love a good BiB. Early Times has been my usual go-to, since it comes in 1L, but it's only a matter of time before that gets marked up.

 

Nope i can be driving with the windows down and still have it. I'll have to peak at the boot, I did have customize the shifter shaft for the 4x swap of the fj tcase..

 

@KingOfTheNorth we’re headed to the hebes this afternoon, need anything shuttled up?

 

How small is this world..... I went to school with Killstation.. i'm really down this rabbit hole now

303 and Happy Valley, I work at GCC most weeks as well. I’ll send you my number, hit me up whenever sir

 

85 bronco, could be for sale when it’s back together

c6 trans, 4wd, has a lift but don’t know specs on it. I drove it for about a year before it grenaded. New block, new internals, heads were checked and still true, all cast.

 

Also, pretty sure I missed the post but is mod day open to all? if so, when are yall getting together and where? Would be good to meet a few other folks and have a few beers.

 

Mod day can be whenever you like! Have you got some installs you need help with, just toss up a post and see if anyone bits! If you dont have the space or tools we can figure out whos garage would work better. I'm always open to help, just located on the eastside. I'd say we all have dabbled in the trucks long enough and are quite comfortable with a variety of jobs. I'm always learning new shit, last nights lesson was ball joints and adjusting Toe.

 

Sounds good! Thanks for the quick response! I am working on a DIY wedge camper like a ripoff GFC/Super Pacific and got a big chunk of the assembly and painting done. I do need some help getting the thing lifted and put on my truck to mount it, but am having a few fitment issues that will hopefully be sorted out this weekend. Mounting is maybe a 10 min job though so I'll see if there's anything else I add to the list.

 

Saw this on Insta this morning and it made me lol

 

That sounds rad. Ive seen a few DIY jobs in the past and they can be pretty cool. Are you the one that had @XPOTRPR machine some parts for it?

 

Yessir! Gussets came out beautifully. within the last week my buddy and I made huge progress and got it 80% assembled. Running into a bit of an issue with some of the mounting holes not lining up but its a smaller margin or error since the extrusion rails are only so big. I need to make a thread rather than spamming my progress in the actual DIY thread but I will post pics there so I don't clog up 2 threads.

 

I'd like to see this project! We are thinking of doing something similar to a Jeep Grand Cherokee and cutting a hole in the roof. You gotta link to the diy thread?
