SLOW. Hopefully we will be done next week.

I was suposed to go over there at about 2:30 3:00 today and took off work early and he isnt at the shop right now.

Ive got to go there today or tomorrow to pick up the front dif and CV's for Minimonster17. I also have to go get my D-link hitch and tow strap for sunday. (not for me saddly)

So either way i will be over there tonight or tomorrow to get pictures. They had to deliver the only truck left in the shop today besides mine. So now i can get better pictures. Plus they will only be working on mine now.

Thanks for the pic chum. Ive got a few pictures of F150's bigger than that one. Offroad only of course.

Anyway i went down to the shop today, not much done that you can actually see. The front axle is laying under the truck the front springs are laying under the truck, kinda a mock up of were they will be. The axles still need to be shaved of all the 4-link tabs (that makes me sad). I have to put bushings in the front leaf springs. Ive also got to get rear leaf springs. Ive also got to get rear disc brakes to convert the drums over. I have to get my drive shafts replaced or stretched.

The due date is FRIDAY. I want to take it to the boggs on Sunday. So that gives me a night and hole day to drive it around and make sure its good.

i way you should stick with drums in the rear...the do the same thing there purpose is to stop ya lmao....and there cheaper and easier to maintain...but its looking really good cant wait to see it at 301 or rancho

4.2trimble · #**223** 03-15-2009, 07:13 PM

If i stick with the drums they will have to be gone though and rebuilt. Drums are actually more efficent braking system while in mud ONLY IF THEY KEEP THE MUD OUT. These ones arent they are filling up and becoming big anchors.

Drums are also a PITA to change. Im actually doing Disc Brakes. I made up my mind.

301 will be my first trip out hopefully next sunday.

Within a few months i should also have my Hydro assist hooked up. That will be nice to have.

yetti96 · #**224** 03-15-2009, 11:10 PM

You got a hook up on the 4bt? or going to eBay? I feel like for the money you could get a bigger motor, maybe pick up a 5.9 and do it up.

your truck wouldve been insane turboed
