fun things X2: Had to wait a couple months due to them being on national backorder but it was definitely worth it. 37x12.517 mtr's mounted on h2's that I picked up a couple weeks before for a steal. Still need a spare in case anyone has an extra rim sitting around (Bobby!?!) Started welding up the traction bar but waiting to finish it up because I want to mess with the rear suspension a little more, also threw together some bumpstops and trimmed a little more since i was rubbing with the 37s. Did some trips to nh and even went to the girlfriends house in vt and up to burlington without any issues at all. Finally can go around 75 without going over 3k RPM with the mtrs so we'll see how the 44 holds up over the summer.
ALSO, finally picked up a CB radio from my buddy who's shop I've been doing most of the work in lately, and his head unit, and his old hi lift jack (actual hi lift no knock off bs) for $40, and his Lincoln 180 mig with a cart, clamps, tank, ect all for $750, picking it up this weekend. ****ING FINALLY CAN WELD AT MY HOUSE AND NOT HAVE IT LOOK LIKE SHIT!!!
arty:
now I just need a tube bender...
still meh, but getting there.
welded a nut inside to bolt hockey pucks to, probably would have helped if I had a bolt with the correct threading....ill stop being lazy eventually. Just need to raise the lower shock mount an inch or so or clearence the fenders more, cant decide which yet considering I want to stretch the rear a little bit. :wow:
It was disassembled and lubed up recently, so I gave it a quick re spray earlier today.
aaaaand how she sits now, got a saggy butt going on but hopefully should be ordering some RE 3.5" leaf packs and some longer shackles since i've only got .75" lift shackles currently, really wanted to go with deavers but think they might be out of the budget for the time being.
comparison shot to show the width difference, and had the cousins in the same driveway for the first time in a while a couple weeks back. The yellow ram is owned by my buddy Brian who drove me down to LI to pick up adams axles, and has the shop where ive been banging shit out. big plans for that thing in the future.
