I usually rough down with the stone.. not till flush.. I then flush with the flappers.. but everybody has there own techniques... I did have a 7" grinder that I had a flapper on.. but I burned it out... I have a pile of burnt out tools that need to get scrapped.. the 7" and about 5 4.5"...

I agree.. those dont look like 70 dollar rims to me

looks much nicer cleaned up! I would start with a stone to rough down the welds before using the flappers.. will allow your flappers to last longer as well as speed up the whole process.. just my $0.02

88 pounds dry.. wow man..

The old rear end... the cover is actually clear coated and hanging on my wall at my apartment

Thanks guys.... I honestly couldn't tell you how I based my original decision and ended up with these shocks... I think it was based mainly on the travel requirements ...

I saw this yesterday... pretty awesome almost didnt get my camera out in time

you do such clean work, impressed everytime i look at your builds. That trans mount/link mount is a work of art.. almost looks as though it was cast

All right.. more updates on the same issue.. Im sure you guys are tired of it... probably not as tired of it as I am... balancing helped.. maybe? [S I have determined my issue is not speed related, road condition related. I had the truck up to 65 several times.. then a few min later coming off...

Congrats man! Glad to hear everyone is doing well!

Thanks DJ, I am currently set to 1/8 toe in.. which is what the original truck would have called for.. not that anything has changed when compared to the original.. lol I have high hopes (and some confidence) that this fixes the issues with the front end. (fingers crossed)

had not checked in on your build in a while.. All caught up now.. looking real good. Cool that Jay stopped by. Keep at it!

Smallfoot- I built the front rims so I know they aren't perfect but hoping I can make them work otherwise... Well I don't know. I can't recall what the runout was but it wasn't bad... At the time I spoke to someone who built dirt track tires and he said I was well within a reasonable spec to run...

looks fantastic!

Gas shock size is about right.. I took a look at a jeep one this weekend.. they are just under 2" in diameter.. pretty big, but Im not so sure I need a bigger damper anymore... I redid the kingpin on the passenger side, and really I dont think the bushings were out of spec, when I reassembled...

looks to be the same radiator I put in mine, my lower line was a pain to get right.. well right enough.. its still could be better... Keep at it

crazy man! top notch as always

Yeah I figure I will end up at a big truck place, just havent had the chance to dig into that .. yet I was looking at jeep wrangler stabilizers as an option, as well as full size pickup trucks.. havent fully decided on what direction to take on it yet.. Its hard to tell how big they are...

thanks bonehead..! Slash been forever since I have talked to you, hope everything is well. Did you ever get your truck done? Wish i could say everything is rosy but got the death wobble last sat when I was out.. Oh and the gas tank is weeping ever so slightly... Ill get it... eventually...

I'm just happy to have made the voting round
