that looks really good!

daverod · 02-04-2011, 10:44 PM

Very nice. What u doing tomorrow?

Strodder · 02-04-2011, 10:58 PM

I saw a Jeep with polished Centerlines on it. Looked GREAT. I'm leaning towards them. They have a clean look, and aren't the same old thing you see all the time. But I do like the Cragers. I think if they were all 15", and not 16" in the rear, I might keep them. Not decided yet.

Going to one of the Grand Kids Birthday party. Then Sunday going to a Super Bowl Party. Busy, busy. WHY? You want to feel my handle.

daverod · 02-04-2011, 11:11 PM

Your a funny man.

Took my truck for a spin today. Love the new rear sway bar.

Strodder · 02-04-2011, 11:16 PM

Are you drifting it yet?

daverod · 02-04-2011, 11:23 PM

Ya, there was some drifting going on.

I think I'm going to get in trouble.

Alittle sand on the road makes things real fun. To bad it going to snow again. I did move my cab next to my frame.

Strodder · 02-04-2011, 11:28 PM

When I lived in New York 1963 as a kid, I used to drift in empty parking lots in the snow. I was drifting before it was Kewl. I would do spins left and right, and power slides. All this in my 59 Vette...

198plus · 02-04-2011, 11:30 PM

Man those handles look good..........Great job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strodder · 02-04-2011, 11:33 PM

daverod · 02-04-2011, 11:33 PM

Yeah I did it like that, but on the ice you don't wear out your tires.

Strodder · 02-04-2011, 11:42 PM

Thanks Allan. Different huh? But KEWL

Strodder · 02-04-2011, 11:54 PM

Did any body notice I cleaned up the roof flares? Not done with them but look a lot better.

daverod · 02-05-2011, 12:02 AM

I missed it I was to busy looking at the gun holes. The roof does look good though.

theres a trick to that , the saoedis use raw oil straight out of the ground on compacted sand as roads
the oil preventing the sand from making dust , so WHEN it rains there the roads are like ice
theres another movie on youtube somewhere with 3 guys figureskating next to there car inside open doors on flipflops doing about 50 mph
these guys are realy stupid sometimes when you look at some of the accidents on youtube

the doorknobs look great btw im suprized because the styling is so different

jgh64pkup · 02-05-2011, 10:45 AM

Crazy towel heads.

What do you mean wobble? Like a vibration? Need more info. What's your pinion angle?

Was wondering why they were sliding so easy. Didn't think of what the roads are made of. When I lived in Las Vegas the roads got real slippery when the temps got very hot. Oil would surface from the black top. It was scary on a motorcycle sometimes.

BTW thanks about the handles. I've seen it done on some customs cars, and looked good on them. Never seen it done on a truck though. They work on only a curved surface. On our trucks your limited on what will fit that curve. I took a gamble when I got the handles from E-Bay. I'm lucky it worked out. I was worried there for a while.

daverod · 02-05-2011, 11:52 AM

I notice it when I go above 55-60. It's a vibration. At first I thought it might be my front ball joints. One was bad. Now I'm pretty sure it coming from the rear. All the joints on my drive line are good or new. It just seems like somthings not lined up right. I have never had it aligned. Just not sure what to try next? Feels like my drive line might not be balanced? Truck is lowered quite a bit in the back. I'm pretty sure my angles are not normal. What would a bad pinion angle do? Could be that. Not sure how to change it. Maybe shim the trans up or down. The joint in the middle is fixed
