Ok! It doesn't look like I have anything that weekend, so I think my brother and I will be there. I'll keep watching the thread as it gets closer, I hope I won't have to back out. See y'all there!

[Skunk]

[Skunk]

ahhh.. the joys of working on trucks... I got the shift linkage in last night, new steering pump, lines, box etc... drilled rear axles coming tomorrow, with that, locker going in rear as well....

OK, well axles didnt come today... but I did clean up the shifter....

Is a cb radio absolutly required? I have a disability that pretty much prevents me from understanding the garble on a cb.

its not absolutly required... I can certainly understand your position... is there a better form of communications that would work better for you becides cell phones? maybe FRS? If not, we can work around it. your welcome to join us aslong as you have the other required equiptment.

where are you in relation to philly? And what kind of lift are you putting in? the auto to manual conversion only takes a few mins.

 

[YourmamaISSOL]

about 45 min north on the turnpike, quakertown exit, i work in devon,, im installing the 5.5 super lift and 3 in body. the only peice im missing right now are the springs that i am waiting on from alaskin jack.

[TheRookie]

so you already have extended brake lines? They are pretty much required. Are you using the superlift SOA kit or doing your own?

 

[YourmamaISSOL]

have the extended break lines and im doing my own perches . i have the purches and the weld on shock mounts thats going to be my biggest problem because i dont have a welder.. i also have a manual trans that is in need of a rebuild so i have to find a shop that will trade for a rebuilt unit or rebuild this one.. i am just about done with cutting the sport i used as the parts truck for the manual conversion and will be ready this week end to start the install.

Lizard, what kind of trails will you guys be running? Its a long road home for me if I break something.

 

[Skunk]

mostly easy trails with some hard obsticles which all have an easy way around them if you dont want to try them. I know what ya mean about a long way home, I used to come up from Clifton NJ and was also worried about damage, well if worse comes to worse, I have a garage full of tools and all kinds of stuff so if something does break its only 10 min from the park.

 

[TheRookie]

Rut Roh. I am going to probably have to do a motor swap before this. AND I just got transfered to another shop. BAH. this is going to be a lot of work

[TheRookie]
