I have a radio, just not in the dash. Also when I am wheeling i don't like have music in the back ground, I need to hear my truck and my spotters.

 

yeah, me too, but I do DD my truck as well.

 

I'm sure I speak for MANY when I say, "MY PLEASURE, MAN!" .....LOVE your truck! haha. It's strange, even though they're all the same body(aside from bob and doves, etc.).... they all have a unique 'LOOK' of their own, ya know? lol.

Saw a red one like mine with the same set up, but silver stripes instead of gold.....amazing how different they looked side by side, lol.

GREAT on the CB and gauges and of course, fab-tastical fab work! lol...looks great, bud!

 

i can see the pics now

sweeeeet... that bracket is nice. i like how it's flush in the side

 

Nice picture of you out on the trail. It gives the rest of us an incentive to get busy on ours. Got me wanting to get mine on the road. Looks like a really good job on your CB mount.

 

Got some love from UPS today! 2" Downey leaf springs are here!



Nice wrap around eyes


Friction pads on both ends of every leaf.


And a full set of poly bushings

 

Sweet Happy days for you Rob!!!

 

those springs are sweet, sure wish i could get a pair instead of my add-a-leafs

 

Thanks Lumpy

I cannot wait to get rid of mine. The original leaf packs are 25 years old, flat and just plain worn out. The AAL that is in there was installed before I bought the truck so no telling how old it is. Currently my rear end is stiff and doesn't flex for crap, hopefully these will help alot.

 

I'm sure you'll notice a huge difference.

On my pickup I needed to use AAL's the rear springs are shot and 1 is broke. Installed the AAL's and now I can haul stuff but she rides like a brick. I'll be getting some Chevy's this spring and new hangers. I don't want much lift and I think they'll be flexy enough as well hold a good load.

 

DAYUMMMM! LOL... Seriously, Rob, ...very happy for ya, bud!

I'll be PM'n ya shortly, and just for now, sorry I've not gotten back to you on the other issues.. Just trying to put this steering bug to rest, ya know? Thanks for all your help, so often, Rob, ...very grateful!

See ya round, soon! "Wait, is that Rob in my driveway? YEAH!" hahaha... i wish, ...have a great week, buddy!

Mark

 

Before pic, I think I will be getting a very minor amount of lift, currently 36-1/4" from the ground.



Out with the old, rusty and stiff



Cleaned alittle and painted alot. 3 cans of flat Rustoleum, several heavy coats.


Inside and out



All I got done, I'll get the new springs in this evening. I'll paint the frame futher up after I weld on the sliders.

 

Looks great Rob, hope this makes your rear super flexy (no homo)

 

Nice man...I wish I was doing that rather than sittin here...

 

Lumpy you can come over here an help me put mine in.

Rob can't believe I let you beat me putting springs in. lol.

Looks good.

 

I think having a garage and missing 12" of snow helped him out some.

I'd love too but that's a bit of a drive...You should move closer, come on out west!

 

Thanks guys,

Just ordered from Front Range Off-Road:
U-bolt flip kit http://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/nfos...87f97c6a1ab4c0
Weld on shock mounting tabshttp://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/nfos...87f97c6a1ab4c0
Front frame brace http://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/nfos...87f97c6a1ab4c0

 

Right on, Rob! That is gonna really improve your ride, period! Also, MAN, that paint and body work looks great, Buddy, .....cool you didn't have to worry about faded paint matching, etc. It looks really good on the underside painting as well. Can't wait for the report.

 

Thanks Mark! I am pretty excited to see how much better the rear rides and flexes. Full report coming!

Yes I agree, the side I DIDN'T crash does look pretty decent, lol

 

Hey, wait a minute, ...... I thought it caved a lil on that side, too, no? Hmmm, sorry, haven't gone back in a bit, ....I just remember it was TOE UP! LOL.
