Bought some axles...sas coming soon

Got my winch done cut my rear fenders not good pics but all I have at the moment. Yes there is chit everywhere in my driveway. Including my exroomates pos chevy good thing is he had radial 38's on it and I'm using them to get it aligned with, he has regular wheels mine are beadlocks Wired up an aux fuse block in the cab. I'll try and get some decent pics up this week. Going to have it hauled to a local place to finish the brakes and do an alignment because fuck brake lines that's why.

 

That thing is looking mean, nice work dtm!!!

Well I have once again been reminded why I don't let other people work on my stuff. I had my truck hauled to a shop here in town to get the leaky brake lines fixed. All that had to be done was reflare the ends of the lines. Instead they wanted to go ahead and put all new hard lines on it....fine whatever just fix it. I take off work early today and go up there,the guy behind the counter brings one of my 3/16 to -3an adapters out and says its messed up. I take a look at it and sure enough the little spot where it seals on the hard line has a small crease in it. Ok lets find another one he says the guy from the parts house is going to come get it and see if he has one. I say screw that I'll take it up there. I get to the parts store and the guy there tells me they said it wouldn't screw in not that it wouldn't seal...hmm my lines have to be 3/16 on one end and metric on the other end...surely they didn't. Me and the parts guy go back to the mechanics shop and sure enough some fucktard forced the standard end to go in either the master cylinder or the tee right below it I didn't even look just told them to call me when they got the brakes to work and not leak.

 

Went and picked my truck up today drove it home...front end is making some odd noises. Got the whole death wobble thing going on. Guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

 

Damn that sucks. Hope you get it straightened out. The truck looks badass.

 

Here is a few pics after I got my wheels and tires on. Doesn't drive worth a crap yet, but at least I can drive it.

 

The beadlocks and new rubber makes that thing look sick!

 

That's one sexy first gen!

 

good god holy mother of jesus


that truck looks so fucking sick! Coil sprung front end, bet it performs like a dream!

 

Doesn't drive very well right now. Still got some bugs to work out. Should be road worthy by the end of next month though.

 

Damn, that is one mean looking 1st Gen

 

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Great looking rig!

 

Very nice looking truck! Great job.

 

Very nice work.

So have you tried messing with the caster yet? that can contribute to the death wobble.

 

Seen it in person and while the pictures make it look awesome in of themselves, to see it in person is a whole different story. This thing is bullet proof, (minus the death wobble. haha)

 

SX's don't help much.

Those are the heavies fucking tires ever.

 

Yeah I think my tires and wheels weigh 135lbs each. As far as the death wobble I should have my hydro assist later this week I'm hoping that takes care of it. Haven't done much with my caster I'm waiting till I get my steering finished before I change anything. Right now I'm at 5.5 degrees.

 

That sounds like a good amount of caster. My tires weighed alot with the boggers/beadlocks as well. I didn't have any death wobble. Your truck is looking sexy as hell though!! Hang in there, almost done
