Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Finally the driveshaft is done. Once it stops being 18 deg out I am going to air this thing up and finish the drivetrain. Install shocks and go for a shakedown run.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Awesome picture of your truck laid out in the snow. I have seen your truck on YouTube and was one of the trucks that motivated me to start building my truck but didn't recognize it till
I just read your whole thread. Nice job man, can't wait till mine is sitting that low Posted via Mobile Device

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Is that the Gilmer pulley set? That's what I got on mine, I want the same air cleaner and valve covers that your running. Do u like the way that wider belt sounds? I listened to some on YouTube and I like it. You got any comments on how yours sounds and runs. Mines not at the driving stage yet.[IMG]http:/

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Hahaha. I know, damn port-0-walls. I have G78's and chrome smoothies after the body work is done. I thought the port-0-walls would work but they dont lay flat on a radial.
Right now I am open headers so its hard to hear the wine but it is there. I like it!!!! |

In regards to Oliver, thanks!! Tell you wife sorry,but she can't have him! I love this guy, he is sitting, does double high fives, shakes my hand, stays, and goes on his pad every time, all at 3 months. This guy may be smarter then me! If you are in VA the breeder is amazing, Dark Hollow Pups, I highly recommend their dogs. |

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
1. been missing your build.
2. just talked to my wife about "If we were going to get a small dog, this is what I would want..." and showed her your Oliver. We may have struck a compromise in my house!! On dogs anyways.... Now she is searching them and gasping at the $$$$$ LOL

There are only two downfalls, one is they fart, he actually ripped one as I was typing this!! HAHA. The other downfall is you want to get another one because they are so much fun. Back to truck stuff my accuair is in the mail! Then its off to the exhaust shop. Winter is not a motivating time to work on a truck that has to sit outside. I will get this thing rolling down the road asap. |

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
So the weather is warming up and I decided to start spending the money. Accuair is ordered and I have the tracking numbers!!! Should arrive in a few days and then its time to air this thing up and start driving it. It will head to the exhaust/transmission shop by the end of March.
Generic pic, but I love the EXO Mount design it will all be nicely installed under the bed. iLevel will be installed later, I just want to put all the $$ into body work and a big ol nasty cam first. ![]() And Oliver is getting bigger 15+lbs at the moment 4 months old ![]() |

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Thanks guys. I reread my thread. It gives me a ton of motivation to finish it. It really sucks how life gets in the way. Granted I had a wedding, and a honeymoon, but when I returned I got sidetracked renovating my house. I am a bathroom remodel and a full basement finish/theater/bar/pool lounge. I told my wife I need to finish the truck before we start any other projects. Amazingly she is totally fine with it. So back to the grindstone!!

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Thanks McMurphy. It's hard to be motivated with no garage and freezing temperatures. Now that its warming up I can bear to be outside. I don't know if you really live in Alaska, but props for working in the environment if you do!

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
I know man it's crazy, and the trip is free! We only pay for the flight. Its a once in a lifetime opportunity before we have kids in the mix. Free house to stay in and per diam food/fun allowance. We couldn't pass it up.

If that link does not work, it is posted on page 30 of my build. I think it is totally awesome that your wife is an actress !! A trip to Australia is just icing on that cake !! My wife and I are kind of movie nuts, any chance of a title so we can look the movie up? Sorry if this jacks your build thread into a fandom thread for your wife... ![]()
