Well Saturday my buddy came to weld my sas and we decided it was so nice out that we decided to go wheeling on the river...


Unstuck...3hrs later thanks to a hi lift and some aluminum ramps we shoved under the tires.


So we didnt get no welding done so that was a bummer but we had fun cause we dont get to go wheeling often,actually it was on private farmground and the farmer showed up and told is to not leave any trash and have fun!

 

Seriously looks like a blast. That's Too bad you didn't get any welding done though.

Nice farmer!!

 

Looks like a good time you guys had. Looks like some bottomless mud.

 

Great time Terry...and yes...bottomless mud and sand, someone said down the river theres a old bronco 2 buried in the sand so bad all you can see above the surface of the sand is like 4 inches of the roof. They must of left it stuck and then it rained or something.Ill have to see if i can get a pic of it.

 

I want to see pics of that! Just dont drive to it...

 

Actually this river is very driveable but this year we have had alota rain, but it was deceiving cause the surface was dry but wet like 6inches under...REALLY WET

Made some headway on my truck this morning, had a freind stick weld my tubes and hanger with 3/32 7018, did a good job. So i went ahead and put the springs and axle under it and went to mount it but i realized i dont have ubolt plates. I could make my own,but i might check and see whats available.

 

Looks great buddy.

 

Thanks Mark!!

 

Looking good Chris, nice to see that front axel under there!

I still need to get a u-bolt flip kit for my front axel, I reused the original ubolts and brackets that came with the 85 axel because I was on a tight budget at the time, but man those things are rock anchors!

 

I imagine they are, yea a flip kit shouldn't be to much,maybe today I'll try and remove the old pitmann arm,its gonna be a bear!!

 

Swapped out the pitman arm.

 

Nice work buddy. Good idea on cutting that arm to relieve the tension. I would not have thought of that

 

Ive had to cut pitman arms off before (I cut vertically tho). Knowing that, Ive sprayed mine down a couple times with PB Blaster over the past few months hoping it will be easy to take off when the time comes lol. Which reminds me, I need to do it again lol.

Looking good.

 

Ive had to cut every one Ive ever taken off. I agree its nice to see that axle under there!

 

Installed the high steer,looks good,ordering spring plates and then it will be all buttoned up other than my shock hoops,shocks,and then the spindles.

 

Awesome buddy!! Looks great.

 

Thanks Mark!!!

 

Hey Mark,when get your hi steer we can rebuild the axle and setup the preload and install the high steer in probably a day.ten you will just need aligned.

 

Sounds like a plan to me
