well got my 4" drop pitman arm from Farmboy Fabrications yesterday. should have it installed today.

weather permitting.

i drove the truck alittle yesterday, did donuts out in a muddy field behind the shop. Truck is very stable, once that pitman arm is installed it will help out ALOT. The play in the steering should be gone.

your funny!

Got the 4" drop pitman arm installed today. Improved steering 100%. Will be road testing it more tomorrow.

I did a few donuts in the mud before installing the 4" Drop pitman arm. It was fun, the thing can really spin these tires.

probably wont be going out to 301 at all anymore. they had some ownership issues that im not happy about. Ill be out at rancho as soon as possible.

I believe i go on call next weekend and will be on call for 3 weeks after that. So about a month or so ill be out at rancho.

I might skip the rancho trip for a trip up to Ocala. But ill be at Rancho as soon as possible to test out and get some good trail pictures

theres also a place called Rhodine that im trying to find info about.

And "the redneck yatch club" is also another stop on my list.

haha they arent legal. Just to keep the police from harassing me too much.

To be legal they need hi/lo beams and running lights/ blinkers. Have to be mounted in the bumper or over the bumper, and must mark the corner of the vehicle as well.

Now all these laws are hard to find, the easy ones to locate are bumper higth laws and head light higth.

bumper doesnt apply to me since the truck weighs over 5k pounds
Head lights cant be over 54", my stock ones are in the 60-70" range i believe.

Im getting a replacement front bumper and it will have holes for some snow plow lights. then ill be legal.

oh and forgot to mention, im only legal 1/8th of an inch to either side for width. haha
