Your work list

Betsy got a face lift this one is temporary. Going to get the SG bumper tomorrow morning. My truck looks better without the ARB and I'm sure it will perform better too as long as I dont hit a kangaroo.. I also got one arm done today. Have to get the other one done soon. Got a 4 ton jack from harbor freight it's awesome.

Sorry for the blury pic - i was drunk


On a side note I fit the entire arb into the back of the passat. I love that car.

What are you welding? You going to weld the spider gears in the rear to get you by until you pick up a proper rear locker?

Nope trying to keep my truck streetable.. Unfortunately going to have to run open diff till I find something.

Edit: To answer your question lol sorry wasnt awake at 5:30.. front diff guard, cones and exhaust.

Okay so picked up bumper this AM... The bull bar was removed prob an 1/8" so that gave me good amount of room to grind/cut the weld. It's not PERFECT but it's pretty close. Putting a couple coats of KBS and then acrylic semi gloss rattle can on it. Here's a before and after first coat of KBS.





Took the second pic on the ground from under my truck. trailing arms longer = pinion angle better = happy shaft. Now I just have to figure out the steering wobble.

Gotta put these on, get my air bump stops installed, and get my 3 link in before ROTR


Hopefully it should ride and handle a lot better then it does now

That's one sexy fox

Got front shocks installed. Not too sure about the -2 towers and the lift I have though.. Havent had a chance to play with the settings on the shocks but so far I like the ride better than the OME's


Say hello to my little friend...

New bumper is on. Still have to put on the skid, install winch and recovery points




I'm happy with how it turned out. The skid, winch and shackles will give it personality I'm sure

Gonna have to cut a bit to fit my winch. Good excuse to buy a dremel.


New upper shock mounts. Are damn near touching the body


Have to drill to install the new lower shock mounts so I figured I should wait until tomorrow and not do it in the dark.

MORE UPDATES!!! Got my rear shocks in. Not a fan of these lower mounts but they get the job done. I had to buy a chisel to knock off those bushing cups that come on the lower shock mounts of a d1 and then drill to install the second bolt. Would have liked to only use one bolt but I must say things things are pretty stout and the bolt cant come out.. Bought a chisel set from harbor freight for $10 and a bad ass 4lb drilling hammer for $12. Longer brake lines are on order.







I LOVE HARBOR FREIGHT!!

Got the new unit in today. Still need to do the swivel preload.. Brian didnt make it cause it the 3 link didnt go in as planned

Yeah I'm sorry Jake I planned on taking only a few hours it ended up taking 2 days. I think every bolt on my suspension and exhaust either broke or stripped but the 3 link is in

Minus the front driveshaft

And got these bad boys in and I gotta say the ride and handling now was worth every penny I spent

Sweet!!

Brian - no problem glad you could get that in.. sucks it took so much.

I got my truetrac in and swivel preload done. The TT is awesome and installing it was pretty easy. Gonna pick up a rear locker and hd axles from Justin soon. Think I'm going to go with a Kaiser.

Still have wobbles. Going to get wheels balanced with lead again... If that doesnt work it's time for a new steering box.

I just finished installing 2 new vanillaroma air fresheners.So far they are working great! I'll post pics soon.

Your truck makes me hard too better keep her away from me...

I picked up a TW front shaft, Terrafirma radius arms and Rovertym trailing arms all in hopes to make my truck run better.

Going to buy a Detroit from a guy off d-90 and some GBR axles from a guy off pirate if all goes through. Saved my self tons of $$ that I can throw into something else

Sure enough one of my tsl's bead wouldnt seal because it's worn out from being seated without bead lube. I could seal it with silicone.. so I went a head and with backing from all my christmas investors got a set of BFG km2's 33"

Got the radius arms, trailing arms and new driveshaft in. The radius arms were a bitch because my front axle isnt centered. I got it all on and put back together. Rides good on the high way a lot less wander steer. I'm sure the new tires will help too.

Will update with some pics when I get them. I am poor but excited.

I would have just put a tube in it, considering they're pretty new otherwise.

They will be up for sale soon. Honestly I just didnt want to deal with it and i was sick of driving them on the road. Hopefully this KM2's will be better.

and I wanted 33's so I can chop up my fenders

Do you have 5 of them, or just 4?

I only have 4 they are 32x9

Ok. If you had a set of 5, I would've taken the bad one off of you to use as a spare, so you had a good set to sell still.

Oh yea if I had 5 I would be fine. Two of them are leaking slowly but with some silicone I'm sure the problem could be fixed. I personally dont want to deal with it.
