I think I can get him at 900

 

If I pay 900 for that truck I can’t lose right ? My main concern is that frame horn. I’d need to put a bumper on it.

 

I'd do it, that's the first normal looking truck I've seen in Hawaii, basically a unicorn

 

I'm gonna buy a bumper and figure a way to mount it, then new tail lights and re list it for 5 grand.

I need to pull the core support out a bit.

 

do you weld? You could cut the frame horn back to 95-97 length, cap it, and run that year of bumper just fine

 

tell me more about this, I forsure can have someone do this for me, I actually prefer the 95 front end.

 

98-00 are the only years that have the frame horns that stick out past the core support. The other years are capped flush with the face of the body mount and just have a captured nut on the end that the crash bar mounts to on both sides

 

Since when was your boy a hack

All part of the learning curve

Unfortunately they'll require some work; my damn table is cutting a little wonky again with some beveling

May have to disassemble a little and square it up again

 

Is the table itself leveled well?

 

It's probably not completely level at the moment, but being out of square (deflection comes into play since the gantry tube hangs over the table) is more likely the culprit

Y axis is completely square but I never was thorough about my X axis and it shows as most pieces are beveled in the same general area

 

Oh man I forgot about your pet. Let's not let Monica see it this weekend.

 

Nothing a belt sander can't take care of as long as I'm steady in knocking it down flat

 

@Sebz13 you could also buy the TG cross member, cut the frame horns back, and throw a TG bumper on. Might not cost much more than a factory bumper+crash bar

That's great to hear! Makes flying much more enjoyable. Once you learn the autopilot setups it helps a ton too. Some planes take quite a bit of learning the systems just to get them up and running which I enjoy. The A310 is a bear but pretty much the only jet liner I fly because of it.

 

I helped align a whole bunch of cncs when I worked at the machine shop and it's pretty critical you get them level in the space they stay in because otherwise they can be out of square or ill supported and they'll gradually sag to out of square even if they're not immediately.

 

I sold him some years back

I only have one and no one even notices her; in fact plenty of people don't even see her when they visit

 

It would cost more than the truck to ship that here lol.

 

I bet those tables were much better supported too

Yeah my table needs bars between the legs at the bottom but you're right, definitely have to be on level ground

 

that's 4 more than me

also need to up the compression on your pistons and make a ground effects kit

and make it a manual
