They're awesome. 7 yrs later. Now need to fix caster sensitivity with some new ucas and leafs in back.

 

Yep ... don't know why I waited to get them?

Saw your posts looking at OME stuff. I'm starting to get the bug to mess with my truck suspension some ... maybe in the Spring. But I have some suspension work I want to do on Ranger 6x6 too. I'll probably stick with new rear leafs (DAKAR?) and Bilsteins all around on the truck to save money I can put towards the Ranger. I'll probably change my mind a dozen times over the Winter.

 

Yea I want to place order now with paypal 0 interest. And by the time I pay it off I'll be close to install.
I got the ubolt flip,extended braided brake lines. Just need to pile up the rest.

 

It's all about the cheddar!!!!

Anyone working tonight?

 

Ug. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrainzzzz


Got two hours of sleep before I rolled in to work. A typical sunday night/monday morning but it's wearing on me nonetheless. Trying to keep my schedule on the weekends is nearly impossible, but flipping to days and then getting little sleep on sundays is not good either. Hrm....

 

Hey Rich, you back at it? Going good so far. They left us plenty of clocks to reset

 

Yup. Back at it.
No boss for a week. He came in the following Monday after I went out in May.
Loaded up part 1 for the night. 14000 lbs. Machined and ready to come off soon.
Hope my sleep schedule isn't to out of whack.

How's things going on your end?

 

Morning...

 

hi MM

 

It's a little slow tonight so I'm reading up on a dream of mine:

http://www.braeunig.us/space/propuls.htm

To go into space. I won't ever have the money to buy a ride on the commercial spaceflight ventures so maybe someday I'll just pull it off myself by building my own rocket. We'll see, it's a once in a lifetime goal, reach for the stars kind of thing. Since I can't get into space yet I'm doing all the background studying now every so often and reading up on orbits and orbital dynamics.

My hope is to one day get a metal 3-d printer when it gets cheap enough that I can then use to print out some parts that would be too hard to machine.

Anyway, a guy can dream.

 

hi rich, how is the work flow going?

 

It's going good. Everything is running as it should be.
Workstation is a bit of a mess. They trained a few scrubbs but they didn't last.
Nice that the workload usually is kinda slow this time of year.

How is your nite/morning going?

 

Slow tonight and really quiet around here..so I'm on here looking at lift components

 

Aye.
Need to get some dakars soon for the rear. Not to mention 2 cats and a new muffler, 02 sensor and whatnot. Pretty much drained my savings the last couple months so hopefully by plant shutdown in July. My poor truck needs some love.

 

I know what you mean, I want a small lift and sice I don't go off road that much anymore I think I'm just going to add the eibach front coils, 1/4 top plate spacer, and toytec aal to my Billy's and see how that goes ..

 

Does anyone here have airbags on the rear to help with sag under load?

 

No but I have been looking at those and pricing them for future reference, those and the daystAr cradles

 

Maybe a stronger rear leaf? Dakar?
