I like that one..... good morning boys and (girls)...PHIL...got some rain last night so much for my clean truck

 

yea, thought rain would rinse off the dust!!

 

makes really good spots

 

Has anyone ever replaced the steering parts on their truck? Like the sterring rods and ends. If so , how expensive is this and where would be a could spot to shop for the parts. Used or new. I just bought some used shocks from a buddy of mine. His were from a 97 F250 and they fit just right.
I am also looking for a tailgate and a camper shell.
Just thought I would through this out there to see if anyone could help.
Thanks
Jason

 

hey Jason used steering parts not a good... idea unless we are talking hard parts like control arms etc. most steering parts are pretty cheep new... you can do it all in the drive way with little tools most parts stores here have a rental program.... alignment that will be shop ...napa carrys good parts i have a good connection thru napa what parts are we talking

 

It was great waking up to the sound of rain hitting the roof this morning. I almost forgot what that was like. Keeps me from having to water the plants too.

Here come the weeds though

 

Yea, used steering parts- BAD- you have no idea what they have been through, loosing steering at 75 would suck!

 

Ha Ha I could only imagine. I think I need the sway bar cv joints. I have been told that I have to much rool in the bars down there when you turn the steering wheel it looks like they are trying to rool over them selves. And the boots on the upper and lower joints a shot. Sorry I dont have to much of the tech lingo yet. But I will.
Thanks
Jason

 

Hey Steve, you remember back before they put in the bypass (NM599) and you exited off of the highway directly onto Avenida de Las Campanas? I took that exit one day doing about 60mph after having installed a new steering wheel on the Stingray. I got to the bottom of the hill to make that looooong right hand curve, and guess what? Somebody forgot to tighten the nut on the steering colum. The new Grant GT wheel just spun in my hand, Well I slammed the brakes and held on for dear life and got it shut down. But I was picking pieces of black leather Covette seat out of my rear end for about a week.

Jason if you and your boys (how old are they anyway?) want the paintball experience of a lifetime, check out this site:

D-Day Adventure Park - Home

The rest of you guys check it out as well. We (the guys I play with here) go every year, it is a hoot.

You don't have to be in great shape to come out and spend the day with us. Believe you me, I'm a long way from where I was when I got out of the military. My 11 year old is in the best shape of us all. I have extra equipment, and I can almost guarantee that you will have a good time.

Ken if you want to get rid of the stuff you have collecting dust, I might be interested.

 

Hey Randy... replied back to your PM. Have a good one.

 

Ok, my oldest son was sitting here when I clicked on that link and was like we are going there for sure. Great, oh well. We are headed on a trip not long from now and maybe we will stop throught there. I will let you know how they do.
THanks
