I'm thinking that bumper would look good on Bandit.


I have part of the day off, so I'm going to see about using por 15 on the Explorer's floor boards. Might as well help make sure they don't start rusting. They are almost perfect besides a drilled hole I saw in there... After Bandit gets back I'll bring the 79 Explorer Bullet down to Alan for brake lines.

 

Dang Alan!! Lol wish I could have got it from you.

Ok, ordered u bolts for the correct truck this time. Last ones I ordered are actually for Bandit, and Bandit's back u bolts look like rebar someone rigged for u bolts...not done by Alan mind you...so Both Bandit and Bullit will have new ubolts. That Dana 70 rear was harder to find stuff for.. But found it....Jack it wanted to custom make them for $180, when I could get them off of eBay for 79.00. I've ordered from Jack it before and never had a problem, but for some reason....

Off to the local pick and pull for some looking, I need some simple stuff I think they might have.

Have a great day all

 

break time....... jeff i usually get my u-bolts made at springfield brake on trafficway.. i think about 5-10 bucks each usually.. just bring em your measurements

 

About lunch time, Alan/RC you guys still coming north this afternoon? Or not till the weekend?

 

I have to run to Fair Grove to pick up a truck. I think it's gonna be the weekend before I make it up there. Probably Sunday because we apparently have a wedding to go to on Saturday. (Friends of Tiff)

 

Ok by me, just call before you leave the shop. RC is that your plan too?

 

Well, I'm the proud new owner of a 1990 E350 cab and chassis. 7.3L diesel, C6 auto. It has six brand new tires and new brakes in the back. It had new pads in the front too, but they didn't replace the sticking calipers, so it ground off the new brakes coming home from Fair Grove. (I thought I was going to have a brake fire on Sunshine, but we pulled over and dowsed them with lemonade.) Hey, it's what was handy at the time and it got me home. I need to build a flat bed for it and fix the brakes, then I can haul the monster truck around. The tires go on the flatbed, then I pull the truck on a regular car trailer. This truck should do pretty well for the job. ....and it gets MUCH better fuel mileage!

 

Congrats...lemonade beats trying to wiz on it..... in public.

 

sounds good alan.. that should do what you need and not be as high on insurance as a 2-ton would of been
rich. if alan goes sunday it sounds good to me.. i think i will get started on the f350 flat bump tomorrow i have all the parts so maybe it wont be down very long

 

Ok then sun it is, I will have the skid steer on call, or already have it hanging from the cherry picker.

 

As tempting as that sounds Alan, I'll have to pass. It's been rather amusing to just watch her fume about not getting the apology she thinks she deserves.

 

Rich - Is that the voice of experience I hear?

 

I have never whizzed on anything on fire or that was about to burst into flames...in public.

 

 

My system is a little off.

Bullits floor is now rust proof por-15ed the whole interior floor.
