Firefighter owned ? What are bein funny ? Good one.

 

Billy, count how many bolts hold on your bed and body. I wanna market the 1/2" for the taco soon.

I can help you install it some day soon!

 

Hey wait dads a firefighter it is a nice looking truck for 11 years old. Most are rust buckets at the door panels.

 

It's amazing how nice vehicles can look when they aren't exposed to New England salted roads, doesn't mean it's mechanically sound though. You should have seen the vehicles I saw when I lived in the south. Lots of people had 15+ year old vehicles, not a spot of rust on them!

 

I hate body work, but I'll turn wrenches all day. If I had the druthers and the means I would purchase southern or western vehicles.

The old spare motor I had for my 95 ended up in a 97 from Arizona this girl had driven to Portland.

 

Death wobble is avoidable if you set your steering up right. The Ylink steering in the Jeeps is know to DW if you lift it with stock steering setup. and FYI its fucking terrifying, I drove my friends to sandyneck because he has the trail pass I hit a bump and saw my life flash before my eyes. He said its fine when you get it all you have to do is lock up the brakes and it goes away... Never will ride or drive in that thing again.

Have them tub the front firewall for 35's while they are at it.

 

I love body work, i would rather make something look pretty than turn wrenches. Funny thing is i haven't really done much true body work besides messing with grills. Alot of the stuff i have been doing on the project i am working on is very similar though. Alot of work with poly putty and everything is sprayed with automotive paint, i have also been dabbling with fiberglass and soon will be messing with carbon fiber. The next two days i will probably spend over 24 hours with a satajet 4000 in my hand. We are spraying 500+ linear feet of decorative steel fencing. Next paint project will be spraying my sliders with awlgrip, which is a high end boat paint, hopefully bumpers soon also.

 

Awlgrip is beautiful but isn't it a bit spendy for sliders, Considering it will probably chafe off? Unless you have some for free We did a mast last week and it cost upwards of $200 for a gallon.

 

Theres 8 gallons of black at the marina, free to me, i would just owe someone a favor. . Plus two gallons of semi gloss imron also, thats what we are using for the cabinetry/built-in project i am working on. The guy i work for gets a 60% discount from awlgrip.

 

24V have pump issues the slightest contaminate will blow it. 12V FTW

 

I have a little bullseye that needs paint But I gota go white because there is no way in hell im going to paint the deck and cuddy. sun bleached blue doesn't go with black.

 

Hey Chris, mythbusters did a special on breaking bad tonight! It was fucking awesome!

 

98k miles on my truck.... maintenance only. no noises, no rattles, everything works, nothing seized.

Built in the USA FTW
