I say get a case a Romen noodles, a case of Mt Dew, 3 rolls of toilet paper, lock yourself in the garage and get it done. Too bad u wasn't a bit closer, I would come and join.

Looks like I picked a good time to randomly stalk around my old haunt, let me know if you need an extra hand.

 

[Spas]

Jake! Are you still alive?? Speak to us, man!

 

[95exploderboy]

Yup, still alive. Just busy with work and life. Trying to get the truck together for a run in early may. Don't know when I'll get to the cage, right now I'm working on getting my hydro steering back into shape.

 

[Spas]

Phew! I thought maybe you had gotten trapped in your garage or something Are you going to make it to Carlisle/Rc this year?

 

[95exploderboy]

Ok, I'm back. Been away from the rig and this forum for too long, gonna get to my shop in PA sometime soon to get the rig dusted off, fixed up and back on the trail.

Now if I only had a shop in MD, that would make this all so much easier.

 

[Spas]

Everything okay, man? I hate to repeat myself, but are you going to make it to Carlisle 2011?

 

[Blee1099]

Well, its time to start getting some projects done for Carlisle and another trip I have coming up in May.

I know I want to get my beedlocks done. I guess I will just use my current wheels and add spacers i I feel that I need more backspacing.

I also wanted to think about some way of limiting the front axel drop. Not sure if it is going to be with a center limiting strap, a small winch just for the axle or mounting up a fullsize front winch and using that when I need to.

Does anyone have any ideas about what may work best?

 

[FROADER]

IMO the easiest and cheapest but still very affective, is the center limit strap.

 

[95exploderboy]

Thanks!

Going to go with the center limiting strap for now. I ordered the tabs from Ruf Stuff and will get the strap once I get the tabs and mount fabbed up. Woulda liked to order it all together, but I'm 2hrs frommy truck and didn't feel like guessing on the length. Also got a rear pinion guard for the 9".

Would really like to do the bead locks, but I'm thinking I should get winer wheels first. Does anyone have some old 5 on 5.5 steelies that they are looking to get rid of?
