The Lumpskie Build - '96 5-speed

jesus that is cheap.

 

Pretty sure you've got that backwards

 

Haha, I got my shafts done at Rocky Mountain Driveline:

I think the real price was $380 for both and they got the job done in 3 hours! I dropped the shafts off in the mid afternoon and they were done before closing. That enabled me to start the job on Saturday and have the truck back on the street by Sunday. Awesome guys.

 

Dude. That's a good price.

Haha, yeah.

 

Brain fart

 

Haha, yeah. On this site, you know you'll catch some grief on stuff like that Hey, how's your crawl box coming along?

 

Justin, did you ever end up getting that tubing we were talking about? My bumper is 90% done and ready for tube this weekend if possible. If not, do you know anywhere to get it bent? I know a few places to get the tube, but don't think they would it bend as well.

 

About to start on it tomorrow! Meaning I'm dropping it off at my local shop. New baby and 18 month old daughter leaves me no time to work on my truck!

 

You bumper is looking good, man! So, I haven't started on my rear bumper yet. I dislocated my finger and I still can't grip the tube bender. That being said, I can talk to my buddy about you swinging by to bend up a little tube. What day were you thinking about working on it?

Nice! Congratulations on the new baby! ...and congratulation on buying the crawlbox while you still had the funds!

 

ha! Funds being sapped dry. Luckily im happy where I'm at in my build.

 

Thanks man, sorry to hear about your finger. Any day that works, my only priority this weekend is to wrap that thing up. Do you have any tube or would I need to get some, which I can if needed. Any size limitations to the bender? I was thinking 1.75 or 2" .120 wall.

 

We've got the die for the 1.75", but not the 2". Lemme see if we can work something for this Saturday.

 

Awesome, just let me know, I will grab some tube this week.

 

Haha, I'm in the same boat. I'm broke, but I'm pretty happy with where my rig is for now

Nice man, let me know when you get it. (that way we can set up the bender)

 

It's time for trimming, round 3.

 

So... I relocated my windshield washer reservoir pump to get me a little more clearance:



Then I trimmed this guy:


down to this:


And I pounded my rear wheel well down a bit:


And undercoated it:


I'll head out tomorrow and see how I did!

 

Tested out my clearancing and it looks like I'm really close to being done.

Here's the passenger side under full compression at the worst angles:





Driver's side, full compression, worst angles:




Here's a shot from farther away. Full compression fits a 33 pretty nicely!



This isn't full extension. I'm pretty happy with how the front is flexing!

 

Well... because I'm lazy haha. I can drive down the street and flex the truck out, so I just seemed easier that way. For some reason, I always have difficulty getting my C/Os back in after I remove them

 

gotta do the pry bar on the UCA trick

 

Tell me more! Does it work better than the upside down bottle jack on the UCA method?
