Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Ya. For 200 bucks I'm super happy. Now just need to get some springs. I have some dropped control arms. But not sure if I want to use them. But it would save me some money for now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I've been doing wiring for about a week. I bought a Painless wiring harness, Optishift transmission controller, dual electric fans and controller, oil cooler fan and relay. Trying to meld all of these systems together has been like a slow migrain headache, you think it will go away soon but never does. I probably have about 40 hours in it and I'm not finished.

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Nothing, its sat outside taunting me but I've been way too busy getting stuck into a bathroom remodel and now a big kitchen remodel including knocking the odd wall down to extend it in our new house. Just taking five before I get a coat of paint on the kitchen ceiling, whole lot needs to be painted before tuesday when the kitchen fitters arrive with the new kitchen. Got be be done by the end of sunday as the plumber is in monday (should have been done on thursday but our original plumberlet us down at the last minute.

Once I've finished the kitchen I've got the rest of the year with no major projects scheduled so weather permitting she's goinna get some work done on her.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

FINALLY finished applying filler. Just finished with the 80 grit, lunch, then 180, then 400. Hope to clean, prep and shoot SPI black epoxy (as a top coat) tonight!

If all goes well, I'll be putting it back on the frame tomorrow. Though perhaps not, I still have welding to do on the drip rail and cleanup on the upper cowl area and shooting it. I really just want the cab back on the frame!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I drove it to Lawrence, KS for the annual AACA Swap meet. Met board member Teeitup, and bought some beauty rings for my "new" rally wheels. Then grabbed my college-age son, who I don't get to see enough of, and had him go with me to buy some tires off a Craig's list ad. All-in-all, a VERY good day!
