i would love to have EVEN a carport

 

I have a carport,but my truck is too big for it.Plus,the carport is a million miles away from the shop,so it would be a pain to work on the truck there.My garage is too small too,the truck blocks the door leading from the kitchen into the garage.lol.So the poor truck has to sit in the elements.At least it's on concrete though.Someday if I decide to stay in Florida and inherit the house,I wanna extend the concrete pad I have in front of the shop and build a heavy duty carport over it.

 

Oooga boooga googa!




BTW<<< I GRADUERATED HI SKHOOL LAHST FRYDAY!!! WHHOOOPIE!

 

Going to kolij?

 

Man I don't graduwacate until June 11th.

Congrats though dude!

 

I have a two car garage that is falling down and a two story machine shed that can hold about eight cars that is falling down and a portable shed that holds two cars. And I still have eight cars outside. I need a bigger shed, you can never have too many toys My garage and shed are not much better then working outside though. Holes in the roof and walls falling off and foundations coming apart, not pretty. I'm about ready to get a bunch of huge ropes and tie my buildings back together.

I graduated High school 10 years ago and graduated college with two degrees 1.5 years ago, you think I would I would be smarter by now, I think all that learning made me dumber And congrats to all that are graduated and are about to graduate.

 

congratulations, fellows!!!

 

i have a friend, who's garage is leaning....it is held up by a chain link fence

 

I know it's a 6th gen,but this has to be the best thing i've seen all year.

For those who don't know,Bigfoot 4x4 went retro,and put a 79 F250 body on the #16 chassis,and holy cow does it look sweet.Maybe if we're lucky they'll do the same with an 80-86 body.









Possibility?

 

Congrats to those who have/are about to graduate from school. My son will be graduating high school in 2 days, and I did the same back in '82.

 

Nope, going to coolege!

 

Okay, so my school lives about 20 mins away from our next town. *A huge rivalry against each other* So big that half our sports cant play eachother because of some many fights that break out between us haha.

Anyways, as a prank and to get back at them we went over to their school and COVERED the place in toilet paper. All the trees/buildings/fences, and then we got to the football field. So half of us, *was around 35 of us out there tping*, walked the field and shredded peices of tp all over the field and then got their goal posts and scoreboard.

Over all it looked pretty awsome, and went smoothly. (no cops)

Btw, we threw over 600 rolls of tp.

 

Betcha had rolls stacked past the top of the cab, huh? lol

I got my radius arm bushings replaced last week, FINALLY!!! Night and day difference, now I can go down rough roads without hearing a bunch of smacking and knocking....drives much straighter too, and overall it feels alot tighter and more solid.

Still need shocks and an alignment though. lol

 

KirbyMan,
I need to do mine too. I have some polyurethane bushings, just waiting to be installed. Did you do your bushing installation yourself, or have them done? If you had them done, how expensive were they? If you did them yourself, how difficult was it? I've never done the bushings in my truck, and I'm afraid that I might get them apart and not be able to put them back together in a reasonable amount of time.

 

I had it done at a local muffler shop/repair shop. They charged me $100 to do both sides. The kit itself was like $10-$15 at the O'Reillys here, but the shop charged labor. Still, $100 is a fair price.

I was told by my uncle (who has replaced radius arm bushings before) that in order to do the bushings, you had to use a comealong winch and pull the whole I-beam forward so you could swap out the bushings, but the shop I used just drilled out the rivets on the radius arm "socket" bracket, where the bushings actually fit in. I guess it can be done either way, depending on how you want to do it.

I would think that actually putting the new bushings on isn't the hard but, but rather getting it apart to where you can remove them is what's hard.

Before I got them replaced, the driver-side bushing was completely gone, and the radius arm was able to move around in the socket and it'd make a clunk sound over potholes and bumpy streets. At its worst, I was able to grab the tire and move it forward and back, with the truck parked. That right there was causing my entire truck to shake violently when I'd apply the brakes at most speeds, plus it would sort of vibrate at highway speed and give me a headache, since the wheel was actually moving around when it was supposed to be held in place by the bushings.

It also wandered to the right badly. Now it doesn't wander nearly as bad. Eventually I'm going to replace the ball joints, steering components and shocks and see where I'm at. Might need new rear leafs too, they've kinda wimped out on me....lol
