[section525]

B2Dude got a perm.


Here's the shackles now.. and a sick ass photoshop of what they'll look like tomorrow/wednesday/someday.

 

[section525]

That just would'nt happen to be a 8.8 carrier in the back ground??
I could use the locker out it. that would clean up your bench alittle

Yes it is and no you can't! : I finally found a carrier to work with that EZ. So it's going in mine as soon as.. I feel like tearing into the rear-end again.

spose I could borrow it when your done? I'm gonna build a skid plate for under the bumper, and that sure would make it look perrty!

I bought one.. 1.5". I should have bought a set (for about $300) as one is already $72 to my door. But anything for you, Stic-o.

those look nice.

Does the dimple die go in a press or what?

 

[section525]

Yup. Once part of the die goes under the metal while the other goes over it. Use the press and smoosh them together.

I got mine at http://www.xtremecrawlers.com . Keith has all kinds of cool tools and ships instantly.

What did you buy, Wack?

 

[IZwack]

What did you buy, Wack?

My blinging brake hoses -- stainless steel braid over kevlar
Of course some people think they look like garden hoses -- but they're just being haters to the cause

 

[section525]

Well I think they're dead sexy.

 

[Jefe]

...Of course some people think they look like garden hoses...

Well if they weren't green. . .

 

[section525]

Jefe.. what did you do for a rear brakeline?

 

[IZwack]

Well if they weren't green. . .

Its my favorite color I had no other choice. LOL but yeah they do look like mini-garden hoses.

 

[Jefe]

Jefe.. what did you do for a rear brakeline?

Its stock with the bracket and hard line bent down.

 

['97 V8]

Can you do me a favor and tell me your spring mount spring mount width? Also the width between our frame rails where we mount the shackle. I'd appreciatte it.

 

[cybergasm]

And Maybe an update too since it looks like someone is slacking off?

 

[tricked04]

I reached the end tonight, and it seems it needs to be continued.... what happened?

 

[section525]

Let's see.. Back in October I ordered IZ's green garden hose brakelines. Haven't installed them yet. Haven't really finished the shackles. Haven't started the truck more than 6 times in the last 6 months.

But there's hope. April is going to be my month. I'm going to swap in some 44044 front springs, throw on some Fox shox on the front, build a Josh S.-type rear shock cage, run some 37s on the black rock crawlers I already have, cut and turn the axle, and hopefully get the bumper(s) off so I don't rub at full lock anymore.

Okay, maybe April and May will be my months.

 

[zainyD]

Get to work!
