Wow-- Nice View!!!

I live on a gully. I have my own motorcross jump in the back it will shoot you up big time. Nice landing as long as you miss the steel BLM marker. Last year I ran about 5 hoses over there just so I could keep it watered. When kids go back there I yell at them and tell Copper to bark at them till they leave.. Aslo makes a nice archery range.

Thanks Dave, I will get with you in a couple of weeks. Gotta get the 4th of July out of the way (family reunion).

Just looking thru youre thread and noticed some of my pics. For my set up i'm not using the stock gas tank and will be installing bump stops from the frame to the axle, so no worries about bags compressing to much or clearance issues. The reason i but my bags under the frame was to gain tire clearance with 20x10 on back.

Bump stops that's works. I like your bag idea.

Ran out of money. So I'm doing body work on my 66. I already had the filler and paint. Plus I've been busy making more money. Its a vicious cycle. Ok I've been slackin also.

[padresag]

Found out my 700r4 was a piece of crap. It's the kind with the small output shaft. Good thing it was only a bill. Think I'll just buy a new rebuilt one. Got a killer deal on some license plates. Picked up enough to do the whole inside of my cab. Hit the money tree with some grow lights. Should be kicking out some bills soon.

[ruffrida2005]

You need to hurry up and get to work. I should be posting up pics soon of what all I got.

Get the dog to come fertilize the old money tree... save the mess from happening on the tires
too bad about the tranny

[daverod]

I did'nt notice it was the wrong size intill I went a bought a slip yoke for it. Then I noticed the yokr was to big I ran the numbers and it was a 89 with the small shaft. I heard they suck.

Rivit rivit.

The small shaft 700r4's wont work. When you go to take off you'll snap it in half from the tq

[daverod]

Should I'll say that when I put it on craigs list for 100 or just keep my mouth shut.

[Layedoutsonoma91]

I wouldn't put it in the listing. Thats just an opinion you know. Truck is looking good, i like the car tag idea.
nice work

[daverod]

Did some more then I ran out of roof. When I got my truck it did'nt have a linner so I don't know what to do. In need to ancor the plates to sonthing. I was thinking some kind of arched metal brace. I don't want it to rattle though. Maybe every 5 inches or so? It looks like the old liner was foam glued to the roof? Are a dogs balls round or pear shaped ? So many ??

[Strodder]

Your dog looks like he's saying "What the fu*k did you do that for?.

[bubba327]

I wonder how bright it will be in the cab with the reflection off the luminous plates from headlights of oncoming cars OR from the flashing lights of the squad car that has you pulled over.
The dog just wants to fertilize the money tree again...........

[daverod]

Maybe I can get somekinda anti reflective clear paint? I don't know how bad it will be? The flash seems to make it worse than it is.

[99 to Life]

if you post that trans on CL, I would be open about what it can and cant be used for. You might save someone else the headache you went through ya know. dog pics are great, lets see that truck on the road with killer in the bed

[ruffrida2005]

You need a 700r4 from a 4.3 or up. 2.8 and smaller motors have the small shaft.

[daverod]

Small shaft no good.

[daverod]

rivit rivit On the way to work I picked up 4 tires at a yard sale for 80. At lunch I put them on Craigs. Sold them at 530 for 150. Ya got to luv easy money. Pays for 1/2 a gal of paint.

[Thadious]

Another thing to look for is the case with the big 'K', they have supposedly (from what I read) thicker castings in the stressed areas. I found mine behind a 4.3 and rebuilt it for a 5.7.
