2005 Bulletproof Taco: 1 Ton SAC

Yes, we are. Through the help of a good Christian Counseling agency we are making progress towards a happy marriage. Marriage is tough, and for it to work involves lots of work. Unfortuneately nowadays, most dont want to put in that work and just give up.

I am happy we are both willing to put in that work!

 

I don't wanna know why you have that picture in your personal stash either

 

I'm real glad to hear that! I wish you guys the best.

 

Thanks!

 

Good on you both! It takes two to tango right? Plus, you can take her on the trail and kick her out to spot and take pictures of your rig on the technical sections

 

Good to hear! People take marriage way too lightly these days and just give up at the first problems. Glad to hear you guys are trying to work it out!

 

Thanks! She actually loves wheeling! Heres a shot of her one of the first times we wheeled (she was a lil nervous, lol):



Here is an example of afore mentioned "spotting" (bottom right ):

Thanks!

 

Congrats! I agree with the above and strongly feel the same way.....people treat marriage as though its dating these days. Keep up the solid work on the marriage and please get some more build updates!

After finding out I have 2 more fawked up CV shafts...can you finish so I can have some motivation, please?

 

Thanks! Will do on both accounts!

Thanks!

Hows this?

Got the steering shaft worked out yesterday afternoon. Here's an overall shot at it.



I used two universals from Borgeson, a telescoping shaft, and a 3/4" Heim for an intermediate bearing/shaft support.

Column End universal: 3/4"DDx5/8"-36 spline Part# 014918
Steering Box universal: 1"DDx11/16"-36 spline Part # 015225
1"x3/4" DD shaft (telescoping): Part # 450024

Here's a few more shots.






Had to make a low profile SHCS to sit in the c'bore of the pitman arm.



Yes it clears the frame...barely. :flipoff2:

 

Nice

 

Mark are you going to SETO?

 

me gusta

 

Oh hell yes he is, I don't car if his truck doesn't even have wheels

That's our plan, get it done and go to seto!

 

sub'd good looking truck... giving me ideas.

 

I am hoping SETO doesn't become my shakedown run

 

Working out a purchase for some beadlocks

I have only purchased 2 of the five 8 lug wheels I needed at this point, and found a swinging deal on a set of 4 steelies with DIY beadlocks already installed.

Its basically a wash to finish buying the remaining 3 steelies or get used beadlocks, easy decision. Plus I will have an extra brand new steel wheel to sell or trade for a set of beadlock rings for my spare

This will be my first time using Fastenal's freight service so I hope it goes smoothly.
