Been driving her for a couple weeks now without any issues...kinda...starting to feel a grind in the front left hub and I'm pretty sure the old rubber brake lines are starting to collapse, since it feels like the brakes are starting to drag a bit and the fuel MPG is lower than normal.


Why does this always happen in the winter?

I think new springs and bump stops will make a bigger difference for me...right now I have extra special "reverse bend" front leaf springs...

Lol...I'm having issues with the attachments with my cellphone. ..Not even sure where on my cellphone that image is...although it is a picture at the TSO concert and I drove Monster to the concert.

spring bushings are next step if this doesnt work.. since ill have no other ideas left... but pretty sure driveshaft shouldnt be able to move vertically or horizontally on the joints themselfs.. rotate yes.. .lateral movements no...

My closest thing to a dirt bike as a kid was motocross bicycles, racing around with my brother, he actually was doing some local races up in Wash state.

That last photo would make some nice wallpaper if the fence was not in it.

Even with the fence you would of wanted a but
fore ground lighting More snow behind you might
of helped or some people holding up a bunch of
cardboard covered in foil to reflect more light on
the truck. You can also play with it in Photoshop
of some special lens filters and what not.
Myself I like to get as much done in the camera
and that way I don't have so much work in Photoshop.

I did a little tinkering with the file in Photoshop
but did not get what I wanted with the small file
in the 5 minutes I played.


Needs more detail and color in the sky. I only for the most
part used some auto settings I have setup. Think I like your
original better. Give some time and a larger file to start with
I would be able to do something. I think, The goals would be to keep the
sky colors vivi, hide the fence and bring the truck out of shadows.

I see where I lost some details. Photobucket killed the size.


Sean


Little play with a better starting file and still not where it should be.
