HAPPY 4TH TO YOU, TOO, HB!

 

thanks toyo! yea its my dads wide angle lens, and its really cool.

thanks chef! i did do some a while back, and so far so good! and it really wasnt too hard to switch the cvs out. (once i got it of course )

 

Ahhhh! Ok, ... yeah, you made me think I was losing it......MORE THAN I AM! lol.

Great to hear, man!

 

haha good memory though!

 

I love the way that bumper looks!
You should go for it.

Pictures look good, cant believe yall still have snow on he ground. The temperature here right now is 90 but the other day we pulled in a 112* heat index.

I wish i had a/c soooooooo bad. haha.

Lookin good bubba!

 

Hahaha, thanks, ....and good to hear!

Been hot here, too! 95 today. BTW, .... that's why I went through with the Denso O-rings and new drier, R12 and R12 Charge oil....... LOVING finally having AC back after 10 years! lol. (Plus, I do lots of 350+Mile drives through AZ and CA desert.....120*F and such, .....DONE WITH THAT AND HAVING NO AIR).... Believe me though, I did NOT want to spend the money, hahahaha! Wound up being pretty cheap though. 70$ for all the freon and oil, 40$ for all 14 O-rings, 40$ for OEM Drier, ...... FREE FREON INSTALLATION BY CHARLIE COOLS! ...You rock, Charlie! hehehe.

 

Haha i hear ya!
Im about to start my job at the dr. tire and i will get employee discounts on parts So i will def be ordering some parts for my a/c ASAP!

 

YES! ORDER THEM ASAP! lol hahahaha. SO MUCH nicer. I just pray it doesn't leak, etc. Seems to be holding up. I have to charge 2oz. of oil- 2oz. of R12 "Oil Charge" can still.... we'll see. Just got it in the mail the other day, have to head down to Charlie and hook it up.

 

Bah! I live in the good ol' desert and have NO heating OR A/c! lol, Gotta be tough to drive my rig! ...or like sweating a lot o.O on a side note, I still have all the original A/C parts packed in a box somewhere, not sure what to do with em...

 

Hahaha... Well, like I said, went without air for 14 years, ....not sure why I found every rig that didn't have AC and then never fixed it, ... but I'm loving it! lol.

 

uh ohhhhh..... look what i got!



its an 84 axle, complete for $250

my own personal "axle hoist"



cut the link bracket deal off,





started cleaning it up and took the steering off



realized i need to buy marlins axle service kit- the trunnion bearings fell out and were missing a bunch of these little guys





and all done









also cleaned the shop today, it aint been this clean in years! usually you can hardly walk in there



so CLEAN!!




i also put my old fender on, fixed it up with some bondo and painted it. and i put too much clear coat on so now its shinier than the rest of the truck

 

oooooooooo shiny axle.

 

i wanted to just cut the ifs out right then, even though i dont have the hanger, steering, or a few other parts but i am getting free 5" springs

 

tht axle is nice, the bearing tht is broken is called a trunnion bearing. i just got my knuckle rebuild kit from wabfab yesterday because 2 of my trunnion bearings were like tht.
i dont know if you can get a better shipping price but my total with the yotatech discount ended being just under $92.00 shipped. i think fronteir or another company i canthink of off the top of my head were a bit cheaper but i heard a lot of good from wabfab so i choose him.

good luck

 

yea i found that out searching haha. im definitely either gonna go marlins entire axle service kit, or wabbits knuckle kit. thanks man, i been following yours and your gettin up there!
