Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I sanded some of the rust off of my roof and then spread a little filler and got it sanded back down.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I installed the new voltage regulator and ran a ground wire from the ground post on the new alternator.
The biggest aggravation were getting the nuts onto the 3 bolts that hold the v. reg. to the radiator support. yeesh! it is running and charging again tho', so yay! -W |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I moved my truck out of the garage yesterday to work on my buddies Honda, then moved it back in today. I took a pic because I thought it looked cool. I had to have him sit in the engine bay and put gas in the carb out of a bottle because my fuel pump went out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Made templates & started fabbing my new rear upper shock mounts. I needed 17" overall length @ ride height & was shooting for 60° angle. I think my number crunching worked . . ....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
We did some rearranging...to make room for more trucks inside the fence, we had a 40' container delivered and set, to put sheetmetal items out of the weather.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well i looked at my frame again, it's not doing any tricks like I thought. I got my rebuild kit in for my Demon, it cost me free dollars.
The 750 is for sell $250, never had gas in it. only set on the intake!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Filled her up...hopefully not for the last time, but probably if insurance don't pay for my hit and run total....
Took a long drive and tried to enjoy her a lil...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today I started the day off working on my poly bushing sleves. I made them out of solid stock because I couldn't find any tube and I'm that cheap!! Then I built a new cross member because I wasn't happy with the way my old one was fitting and we screwed up some how and it ended up being way too high. I forgot to compensate for the 4'' tubing that it would be notched into. Anyways I built a new one out of 2x3 tubing and welded that up and removed the temporary support for up front. I also made some bag mounts. Next week I'll make my lower bag mounts and start setting up my links. Anyways pics!
