Plumb bob only works accurately if the vehicle frame is level side to side/front to back.




Just sayin....

Here are some pics of my mess going on. I just realized I don't care for dan at ruff stuff. I've afew isses with them and they haven't once got my order right! They even sent me the wrong shackle flip kit which is my fault for welding on before measuring it. I told them the correct measurements and they still didn't build it right >_< They never once sent the right hardware, nor did they inform me that my DOM was on backorder....

Anyways this is where i'm at ... I am not getting as much time as I'd like to work on it either stupid work.

Seems Dan might be getting more orders than he can keep up with. Possibly going down the same road as ballsackistic? I hope not... maybe it's time for him to hire some more help.

Youre a dumb *** for welding this stuff on. Is it that GD hard to BOLT ON parts like we all told you to do? Furthermore, your welds, with exception of the lower track bar mount, look like something an autistic boy with a tube of toothpaste laid out.


Aside from all that...

whats wrong with the flip bracket and the upper/lower track bar bracket? The buckets are obviously fubar as Dan and I mentioned a couple days ago.




You better make damn sure its Dans fault for all of this and not your own before bashing him on a public forum. From time to time things become back ordered and companies run out of stock...its a part of business. I know fatdan had some issues with him but he is the first Ive heard of in years. His reputation on Pirate is as good as anyones.

that kind of seems like what i got out of ruffstuff, either too much growth, or they hired a real fwaktard in shipping/receiving. only took me ages to send them money, get my order overlooked and never made, and then only like 3 more months to get a refund. not butthurt about it, but i am kind of surprised that so many e-people have sung their praises to me, and then i get that crap on my first order.

So to bring up an old project that seems to not being go so well in your fellas eyes. I bought a set of 1 ton axles recently. A matching pair of '89 D60 KP and 10.25 rear both complete and in working order.

Not sure what to do with them yet, was thinking about re-selling them for some profit. On the other hand I would mind taking my time on this bronco and building it for a dual purpose use. I've got most of the stuff in place to run Coil/d60 up front. Then I was thinking just run leaf springs all around. Probably out of my league but I'd like to learn how to set up a 4-link (check out dan's 4 link kit).

Please feel free to share your input... even if it's negative!

don't worry about courage, worry about constructive criticism and your ability to take a joke as well as serious advice. a lot of shyte in here that could have saved op trouble and effort...
