Hope you and the family are having a good time Mike.

 

Hmmm. Good to know. Maybe I won't go that route after all...

 

Mike we came through there last night coming back from the auto fair in Charlotta NC we only live one hr. away from there.

 

Evening fellas.

Been scrambling along to get my show truck in order - spent the weekend ripping off the bed with the rotted out floor to get ready for its replacement. So much to do - so little time to do it.

 

Hi bill. I know all about it. I've been trying to get equipment sorted out all week. If I get a good sunny patch I'll be cutting first cut and then get ready to plant.

 

Hey Nick. Yeah, it's crunch time. Bed came off last night, got a ton of prep for paint on the frame done today since I'm changing stuff, and should get the paint laid tomorrow. New bed hopefully goes on next weekend, then I can send it to the body shop for the paint on the bed itself. Not good enough to handle that part of it here myself.

 

FWIW I am still running 2 of the spicer joints I originally installed. They seem fine. The front most started giving me trouble almost immediately though.

I paid more for the chinese spicers than I did for the American Orielleys too...

 

The front one (the odd one) is the only one I really need to do something with, the two at the transfer case are still good and tight. I pulled it apart yesterday, and it's a good thing I did because I would have bought the wrong u-joint if I hadn't. The one in the front is the odd one with 2 different sized caps on it.

I'm really tempted to just get something locally now instead of ordering a Spicer joint online and waiting several days for it to show up. it would be nice to get this done and have it back together.

 

I know theres a lot of dually guys on here; this looks like the holy grail.. Well, minus the price...

That thing is so original it even has the plastic air box fastmers that were recalled...who is calling it...4wd conversion or dual lie conversion..?

 

It would have to be a dually conversion because the duallys didn't have the molding down the sides. That was probably a single wheel CC converted to dually.

 

Maybe that was my problem. The parts guy at car quest is usually very knowledgeable but he got me 3 with the same part number...

Either way, twice a much for chinese isn't what I like to buy anymore.

 

Good morning and Happy Sunny Sunday guys!

Coreyallan01, That's a good looking Dually, did you make an offer on it?

 

Hi Tim! Getting anywhere on the Bronco yet?

 

On the road again, just can't wait to have a flat again, especially one that tears up the camper again! Sorry ***** Nelson, I just destroyed your song! LOL


Four to five years without a flat because of the independent suspension I got put on, I guess I was due. Yesterday it was a failed converter while I was trying to pack. Batteries were down to 9.5v, I got lucky to find one on a Sat but got ripped off bad, oh well. The joys of RVing!
