Truck Haven for Thanksgiving '07

...limiting straps wouldn't hurt either...:

OH you know I have those I learned my lesson last time. I am just hoping that I don't crack my brackets again . I have had to weld both of them so far. I did have my radius arm brackets welded to the frame though.

I do need to go through and readjust everything sence last TH because I am still having a loud clunk in my front end when ever I crank the wheel all the way to lock on each side. It always happens right when the truck starts to lean when I am trying to do like a u-turn or something.

Just one more question not pertaining to truckhaven, but RJ, did you find a used bumper for sale or someone you paid to build one to your specs? And do you mind giving a price range of how much it was to get one built?

 

[Exploderpilot]

hey mounty, i have a guy in san diego who will build you a really nice bumper for a very decent price.

 

[R.J.]

well it was happygilmor's bumper. but we found it on craigslist and later found out that it was someone form this site. me and jim go on craigslist and race-dezert all the time to try to find stuff. that bumper was in long beach, which was good for us, and would've been for you. to build this bumper? mmm i don't know. mcneil would build a nice bumper welded to the frame and prolly have more bracing and stuff for $300. grab a welder and a tube bender and someone who knows what theyre doing and make one, i would say.

Cool, when the time comes closer i'll send you a PM to find out more. Thanks.

Well I found the clunk in my front end. The pivot for the Pass. Side I-Beam was a lil loose. I also went through and tightened everything up in my front end and it rides a WHOLE lot better
