"TURDLE" or " How to mess up a perfectly good truck"

[CDW6212R]

Mine are custom, I have a local store here that does them while I watch. It's been about $25-$30 each so far. One of my first two(left) did spring a leak, the one in the picture. Back then they didn't carry a fitting at the caliper, the end is welded onto the old caliper fitting then. Now they carry the OEM caliper fitting.

JT, when are you bringing the Turd, oops, I mean Turtle to Texas? I'm sure we can put some Texas pin striping on it.

Better be careful what you ask for. It may come true.

Sick lookin ride jtsmith. How do you like the lift as far as ride and how she runs?

 

[Justawajz]

Looking good, very clean! How's it drive with the motor work you've done and the larger tires. Pretty good I would imagine.

 

[Turdle]

You guys wouldn't believe, but to be honest the lift works so well, and, the gearing for the tires is spot on. The only difference is I can see into all the cars now, and, the ride is a bit softer. More rolling and truck like maybe, but very much softer when hitting harsh bumps in the road.

And, I do like the power quite a bit.

Thanks for the comments.

dude you are just getting started! lowered = HARSH RIDE

lifted with a GOOD suspension setup = LIKE A CADDY

my BII is SOFT on the bumps, but wide tires = still sticks the corners

wait until you ditch those T bars! thats when the SUPPLE ride comes into play

So glad you went lifted, you dont have to stick to ashphalt anymore!!!

 

[turboexplorer]

Did you just do the 4" from Super Lifts? And you did regear? Just curous to what you did!

 

[410Fortune]

yeah he just did that this spring, but it's really not that bad, you don't really notice it unless your looking for it, or the light hits it just right.

I was blasting larger things yesterday. I'm re doing the kitchen chairs in silver vein. They are parlor style, Sheri wants to keep them. Since I was shooting silver vein, I placed decals on my new front skid plate which was smoked chrome coated-hit it with the vein and peeled to reveal my new skid plate, with a subtle image

I can't wait to get this thing installed, right now my list is large so it will be a while
