DAMN!
so, what are you doing with those worn out tires?

 

[full foot notch]

probably make em a coffee table, i dunno, prolly just give em to the shop to get em out of my hair

 

[TheRookie]

If only there was a way to ship them without it costing a fortune. I need a set of beat rubber like that for beating on the street some.

wooooo , axle dropped off at chucks trucks, damn they workin fast, next day i showed up already had the axle torn apart a little, now only to come up with the 1200 for them to finish up the loose ends so it can be installed and drivable

heh, will put the 1ton conversion at $4k invested, heh, might as well gone REO/Rockwells , eh, oh well, ya live and ya learn

cause of muddy muddy sunday down here ( www.trucksgonewild.com ) its gonna be close to christmas/new years for completion

there was a good 3lbs of mud in the hubs/knuckles, and that was after pressure washing, see, its one its way to getting completed

wonder how much chucks would charge me for a simple SAS......

 

[full foot notch]

heh, whats your definition of simple? i think at the time a bout a year ago, he said $2500, but ill put it like this, after trying to save $$ and going to another guy, im having to go to chucks to get it done right, ive been helping out at chucks a tiny bit, and from what ive seen, they do not half ass ****

right now chuck is in lakeland getting ready for muddy muddy sunday at lakeland motorsports park, but next week he should be back, and late next week my explorer should be down there, i also gave him my old D35 axles and leaf springs, so you may be able to work out a good deal, lemme know and maybe i can help ya get a better price

update yall, one ton axle in, ubolts on, and some roll around tires and rims till i can get my tires to the shop, still gotta do steering,brakes, and shocks, and a problem has come up about the rear pinion angle and driveshaft and burning up the pinion bearing

What axle is in the rear? 14 bolt? Looks good so far.

 

[toddious]

i like the lifted golf cart.....

 

[j602]

The golf kart's bigger than your truck.

 

[full foot notch]

that golf car is on 44's and runs front and rear steering, you can find more info on it on www.chuckstrucks.net

WOOOOOHOOOOOO, guess whos going rockwells baby, paid cash for the rear, but since im on a shoestring budget right now, i gotta get that highpinion D60 sold so i can get the front and buy the perches and all that,only 3500 more to get er dun

 

[98 sport]

Man that thing better be gittin' a 514cu.in. crate with alot of spray!!!

 

[full foot notch]

actually its all in the gearing, cause its one of those, there is a toyota pickup with a 3.0v6 burning the tires with his rockwells, and they are 44s

but it seems that the motor might, might, start to be going, (only 300k documented miles later), so we shall see

 

[Fish Man]

that carts pretty pimp...this school bus isnt bad either http://chuckstrucks.net/school_bus_2003.htm

 

[full foot notch]

well yall, the axle is most likely sold out from under the explorer, the D60 that is, apparently a guy is coming down next saturday to pick up the axle and he is from out of state so its looking positive

 

[IndyExploder]

I got a 351 HO if you want. Would make a sweet deal on it for ya.
