Tbars Project "X" begins

[Tbars4]

...the problem i think was, the inner bearing actually wore out the part between the inner/outer bearings in the rotor until it was gone, and the rotor actually became free floating on the way to truckhaven...

 

[Tbars4]

...i took some time tonight and repaired both front window motor's...

What are you planning to tow with that? Is this in preparation for your upcoming Ranger project i keep hearing about?

 

[Tbars4]

...the upcoming ranger project is on hold till we have a better economy...as of right now i am downsizing to be safe and cutting my shop cost by half...

 

[Tbars4]

Man im going to have to get that hitch you have.


This is inspiration to get my bumper put on next week.


I need it to haul my smaller trailer for trash.

 

[Tbars4]

...the hitch is great...now if the tranny could match the hitch, lol...

...it is nice to have one drop hitch and be able to use different trailers but also adjust your height when it's loaded or empty...

 

[Burns]

Yes i have not pulled anything with my explorer for about 3yrs because of the size....


I like this one better than a normal drop hitch

 

[Donner]

Bad@ss vehicle!

That vehicle is impressive! I tinted the front window, free photoshop

 

[Tbars4]

...thanks donner...burns' X is just as tall and he has a solid front axle on his...burns got to see mine out at truckhaven for his birthday...

...just wait till you go out there and see the big dog's trucks...they all have their own personalities and make mine look timid...

 

[Donner]

I'm hoping to do just that... You guys have some serious vehicles! Zukman has a pic of some of them... incredible!

 

[Burns]

Donner if you ever get out to truckhaven you will never forget it. It was so great to get out there.

Best Birthday so far

 

[Donner]

Believe it! I'll try to get there... You guys gonna have videos from the next runs??

 

[Tbars4]

...if you click pics and mod list in my signature, it will lead you to a video from truck haven on my elite page...the first video has about 10 of the 23 offroad trucks going thru a ditch...

 

[Donner]

That is just too cool! It's the timing and [crawling] that's a trip... and the exhaust/engine/motor, the sounds, man, the sounds! Trip!

 

[cybergasm]

Pardon the interruption but did'nt you have driving lights in the front bumper? i don't see em in this pic. and did your front plate go mia?

 

[Tbars4]

...the front plate has always been in the rear storage and the front driving lights and rear back up's were removed when i did the new rock lights...

 

[zukman]

be sure Harley's flag is on the truck while crusin the back country. I didn't see it on in the runaway pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
