la0d0g's rig

I am going to chop my fenders like yours to better fit my 285/75's. Could I tie string to a pencil to mark it or does the marking device need to be more rigid?

 

Pencil and string should work. The wheel and ruler isn't a perfect method either, it just helps get the line somewhat straight. In the end its how smooth of a cut you make that counts

 

That's true. I plan on going at it with a air cutoff tool, dremel or maybe a die grinder. The die grinder worked surprisingly well for boring out the dashboard switch holes to fit carling switches. Your fender chop looks very clean. Great mod. I'm pumped to finally get more clearance.

 

Thanks and good luck. Let me know if you have more questions.

 

So I will be installing my suspension parts tonight and tomorrow. I am going to get a dry teflon lubricant for the Uni-Ball. My question what type of grease are you using on the UCA zerks. I have a grease gun with basic automotive grease in it. I am just not sure that is a okay to use.

Edit: The stuff in my grease gun is Green Grease.

Like this stuff

 

Yeah, I just use the generic auto grease too, I forget the brand. That reminds me that I should probably hit them this weekend, its been awhile.

 

What did you do about the forward bed-side braces when you did your cutting?? i know you inverted the rears... but the front ones have me stuck.

 

I'll take a pic when I get off work.

 

thanks man

 

I don't have any fender supports on the cab side rear fenders. Are there some there when the truck is stock? I don't remember

 

On mine there is lol, but if you don't have them, then I feel it's safe to remove them thanks again man

 

Haha. Yeah, still seems to be solid without them.

 

I binged pictures of onion reservoir, and a picture of your truck came up, so I clicked on the link and it took me here.

It took you to a 404 error?

 

Hmm, I am not sure why that wouldnt work. It shows a picture of your truck, so I clicked on the link. I'll post the link to the bing search.

Maybe that will work.
It seems as if technology is once again winning. If you scroll a little ways down it has the picture of your truck when it was stock coming out of knott creek. I was just wondering if you had any affiliation with the page. It seems to not be US.

 

lol. No affiliation to the page/site. I think I posted that pic on TW a couple years ago. It was when my truck was just a wee lad.

I go out there every year and stay for about a week fishing/camping/relaxing. I love it out there. Can't wait to roll out there with you guys on our excursion this summer!

 

Then and now

 

I was reading through our thread and thought I should post up a pic or something, get some people fired up and I ran across that picture. Truck has come quite a ways!

 

Here are a couple you could use.

 

I installed my WOs this weekend. Took the seats out and vacuumed out all the crap that had accumulated under the seats. I like them so far, I'm sure I will like them more when they start to break in a little.
