Florida B.S. Thread

Can you even handle all the cutting you're gonna have to do for 35s? Lol

 

I wasn't even thought of in 89

 

I was moving to Germany for the 2nd time in my life. I miss that place. Wish i could go back.

 

I can't swap the rear suspension. I got the shock towers from bamf on there.

 

I know you know a guy that can do a leaf conversion. It's been done.

 

Why couldn't i? I only disliked the cutting of the mounts because of the weird angles. Cutting fenders and a few other things wouldn't be that difficult, at least i could use a dremel for better control of the cuts. My cutting wheel is way to big to use for that.

 

why sell it man, your truck looks great with all the mods. I say keep it.
But im sure your wouldnt have a hard time finding a buyer.

I was born in 89 up in chicago, so im sure i was cold as hell up there

 

Gotcha I just remember you were pretty over it when ya did it and don't use a dremel use a jigsaw it cuts curves perfectly.

 

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, the thick metal of the mounts plus all the akwardagles that had to be cut made it fun for a few minutes. But by the end i hated it.

 

OK Ok I get it ,this group is on the younger side....

Leelee, my wife thanks you also ,a 2nd womans opinion usually trumps mine so ..shhhhhhh ...

When we get settled you might just get that "call" for "other" insurances needed..

I NEED to be down in Florida NOW...New company called and the New tractors arrived early... You folks may see me by the 1st week of February now...

 

Also take the guard off of the angle grinder.

 

In 89 I would have been in the forty year old thread..

Anything with a guard on it, is called a girls tool

 

The cut off wheel I used at work didn't have a guard on it. Those things just get in the way.

 

congrats dude, it'll nice to drive by yourself finally

 

went to go buy a front axle tonight and had to back out of it.

 

What happened

 

X2

 

in the picture it was one complete axle and when i got there it was completely taken apart and the R&P was gone, but i could have cared less about the r&p cause they were the wrong gears anyway. and the hi steer he claimed it was was a hack job. Cut off the stock arm and welded it to the top of the knuckle. he dropped it down to $200 but i still didnt want to trust someone elses welds on cast especially because its a steering component.

 

That's understandable I wouldn't want someone else's hack job fabrication either

 

the welds looked pretty solid but i saw some porosity, but i also have no idea if the cast was pre heated before welding. i didnt weld it, so i dont trust it.
