geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Oh yeah haha shits crazy...find someone else @geekhouse23

 

I'm not kidding when I said I almost fainted

Currently have it in with some local fabricators that do side work just waiting to hear back. Then I have Mark..who Chandler knows

 

Found some more patch links if y'all interested

 

Yup, I wish mark lived closer to me. I want a 3 link rear @NwiTACO

 

Sick! PM'ed you brother!

 

Close your mouth you're drooling

 

Holy F $900 is a lot. I had no fucking clue what I was doing and did it over a weekend with some borrowed tools. I could see a couple hundred being thrown for the relocate but damn, I wonder if you grinded all the oem shit off and just had them weld up the new stuff if it would be cheaper? Or are you considering that?

 

yea just drive it there without any shocks

 

My buddy seems to think they would take it all apart to weld that stuff on. For example, instead of just taking the tires off, cutting the stock mounts off and drooping out the axle, they would remove everything i.e. full rear suspension, Dakars, etc out of the way eluding to the 7-8 hours of work. I don't think they have the know-how to do the work anyways.

@Acerwin, did your shop have to remove anything other than wheels and tires and the stock mounts?

There should be an achievement patch for that..

 

From what I understand the flip and relocate aren't easy tasks and very time consuming when done properly. I was told to pull the bed for this one and I'm going to pull the bed. A plasma cutter is supposed to make short work of the frame rivets.

I don't think 1k is bad if you supply parts. When done right and everything is cycled and tested. It's a long days work.

 

You're right..the 8-900 quote was acceptable to me for the shackle flip AND shock relocation. But they quoted $720 when I requested the shock relocation ONLY. That's a bit insane in my book.

 

I'm not sure wasn't there...I know they done it the right way cause they're a local group and very knowledgeable people. If the bed needed taken off that's probably what they did

 

Yeah fawk that. It wasn't that much for me...

 

Yeah mine took 2-3 days

 

I'll take the 3 week one with daily driving involved

 

This is why I'm breaking up the work over 2days but I'm doing more.

 

I plan on doing mine over a period of 2 days too during the fiancée's bachelorette party; 1 day for the work and the 2nd day for testing her out

 

Box that arrived the other night:

 

New dildo?

 

No.
