I smoked him by about 1 truck length out of the Krogers parking lot.

 

Yeah... I guess it's because you just got on the phone with the woman of the house and she said you better get home in a heart beat.... haha. You're not allowed to stay up late. haha.

I got the swaybar on. lots of work, maybe 30 minutes of actuall work and an hour of figuring out which goes where and all. total time to do: 2 hours with everything and cleanup.

I don't think i've ever been this freakin black!!

Let me take her for a drive.... brb.

 

Yeah right, you wish

 

I think this is funny. I've met now two people that are here on the forums and both came back how they whooped me when BOTH times I didn't even race.

Guess I have a bad memory.... ? huh

hehe.

btw. Thank you 02XLT. You have an AWESOME looking truck.

 

hehe. Damn you went home and installed it? It was around 11:30pm. Geeez. And she was pissed that I didn't call her at least, she thought I was dead somewhere. :o

PS: I am calling BS on the swaybar install last night. And nice looking truck for you....I mean after you fix that front end.

 

BS????....

dood. Why would I lie? It took me 2 hours total. I did install it last night.

Parked my truck in the driveway. took my dads contractor grade work light and layed it down on the passenger side of the truck so i had light and I went to work. I that was needed was my craftsman quickwrench size 5/8 and 11/16 and 3/4. that's it. well.... I used a flathead screwdriver to pry the brake line clamp up to lift the brake line... but i didn't have to bend it at all.


PS.... I just woke up.

 

You didn't run into any brake line problems? What about getting the bar in place? Did your exhaust make it easier?

 

I ran into no problems... other than the instructions being the worst thing i've ever seen.

only thing i had to do for the brake line was on the passenge side I had to pry open a clamp that holds the brake line directly on the axle. Once I did that the brake line held it's place about 3/8" off the axle so I didn't have to bend it... it gave me just enough clearence for the u-bolt. as it is right now the brake line touches they u-bolt but it won't be a problem because nothing is moving there. I will find a way to re-strap the brake line down just because of vibration and all.

as far as getting the bar in place. I could do it with a stock exhaust. you have to manuver the bar like this:

place bar running perpendicular to the axle... so that it runs right along with the driveshaft. then you just manuver the driver side of the bar over the drive shaft then twist it so the bar ducks underneath the gas tank... really it's not that hard.

I know I can do this in 1 hour or even less now that i've done it.

 

 

Then find me a really cheap price on another bar and install it for me.

 

If you want...

seeing how we have the exact same setup for suspension... other then the fact my front is a little lighter due to the v6. I'll let you take my truck for a spin so you can compare it to your truck.

I'll give you a call a little later.

 

Yea I am interested in how much different it will feel. Maybe this week sometime. I am sooo tired. Just got back from Lake Sommerville earlier today. Been a rough two days and I need some beauty sleep.

Just went and got that Truckin' magazine. Have to find some rims.

 

That's cool. I'll give you a call later this week then. I know the perfect place with 3 good twisties.

With the groceries??

 

MY money goes on he let you win, so you'd stop cryng about giving away your Helwig antisway bar...<g>

Now all you have to do is find someone else that has the same view you had, and rape them <g>

FYI, I did bend the brake line with a tubing bender, so I could use the stock clamp in place, to stop any vibration from moving the brake line around.
I gave it a 3/32 to 1/8" radius up around the bar.
This is what I felt was best last year....maybe it could be done another way, but no tie wraps around my axle <g>
