Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

thanks, y'all!
Chuck, I like the way you think!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Matt, I've got four of those caps out in the garage if you want 'em. Three of them have been painted in the past, but if you were going to paint them to match your soft8's it wouldn't matter.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

nice

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Aww, man! I've got 4 coming from ebay! Thanks very much, though. Maybe someone will like what i do and want to try it, or, I might lose one in the future, lol. Thanks, man!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

After I got my truck running right, and got the pinion angle right, I was still having some vibrations, but they where a little unpredictable. They were most consistent in the 55-60 mph range, which to me usually means a tire balance issue. I knew that one of the weights had been knocked off by the LCA, so that was part of it. I pulled the wheels off, and realized that on the passenger side, the weight was being not only worn down, but actually pushed around the rim! i have spoken to a tire shop, and they are going to balance my tires with the weights that stick inside the rim, which will have plenty of room to clear the calipers, and also give a cleaner look.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Hope that fixes it all!!! I gotta see that beast ROAR!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Also, here are some pics of some interior pieces I will be recoloring. I got the panels and armrests from Todd when we took our big road trip, and the escucheons I got from my friend Chuck!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Good deal bro! Hopefully that will take care of the vibrations!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Is Saturday good for you?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

LOL! Ill be kicking butt...

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I think it will. The more I get used to the bags, the more it felt like a plain ol tire vibration. the weights on the backs of those rims weren't small, so I'd say it was causing a stir (or a shake, like "shaken, not stirred" lol). I put that bent rim I have on to check clearance, and there is plenty! I was surprised how much those old style wheel wights stick out!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

DOH! I forgot, but just for a second, lol.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Yeah I hate those things, they are big and ugly.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

^_- I know...So bitter sweet...On one hand I get to fight on the other i miss a day with the BOYS AHHHH!!!!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

wow ive never seen one being pushed around the rim that's wild and shoot I even work at a wheel shop xD

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Haha. I have a knack for tearing things up in a special way :lol:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I had one that was being shaved off on the stepper I had. Stickys the way to go. Just a tip, put some small pieces of masking tape at the ends of the sticky weight. I had one come off of a motorcycle wheel just after getting it all back together. Frustrating! Just until you know its stuck on good.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I busted a rocker arm and push-rod Friday night tell me about it :dohh:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I was thinking about covering the whole weight with duct tape. I haeard that will keep it on.
Man, it's always somethin', isn't it?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

It sure is!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Had a prize in the mail today, even though the goof ball Fedex guy took it to my neighbor's:lol:

Diggin the caps Matt!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

looks good matt

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Yeah, that looks sweet!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

If by "time" you mean "rim", prob not. I might end up going up to a 17" in the same wheel because I'm having trouble with the wheel weights on the backside hitting the lca. I may have it solved, but not sure yet.
