ok i figured i would start a new thread because i all my other ones were messy... this is the start of the buildup at Richards St. this is how it looks right now
first thing i am gonna do is get the garage cleared out and move the chasie in... the tub/top is going in the back yard... next is to get all of the drivetrain put in and all the breaklines ran and what not... i am gonna need a couple (more like 5) volunteers to help me move the tub and then i can get the ball running on this project again
What's keeping you from bolting the tub down as it sits?
probably wont fit in the garage. and i bet so he can have open access to the frame and make everything fit nice and tucked away.
i dont have any of the hardware and i need to lift it up to put the exaust back in and it wont fit in the garage
i got an np205... just need the 203 now
Piomp. 205's are sweet. When are you gonna remove the body I'll see if I can help.
how much did you pick up that 205 for?
i got a pretty damn good deal... lets just say i paid less than i was willing to pay... and the guy went down much more than i went up in the negotiation process
ok well i am dropping out of school next week so i am gonna have some time and money to work on this thing... i have some bull**** things to do so it will be towards the end of next week but is anyone up for lifting the tub off say... thursday... thanks
tater
why are down dropping out???
i am just dropping this semester... im not quiting school completely
hell if i can get enough people today i wanna get it moved... any volunteers
if you didn't get it done today, i'll help out and i'm sure i can drag along travis with me so thats two able bodies.
i didnt get any help... but i got my garage cleared out and ready for it... how does this sunday sound
sounds like a plan
you still going to do it today?
guess not... i was lazy today
***. yeah i was so lazy today i actually studied. we are still willing to help so whenever
well i am leaving for corpus... ill be back late in the week... but i will be giving ya'll a call
i wanna move the tub today... so if anyone has some free time it will be apprecitated
I'll be around this evening, just call me.....
I can give you hand today
awsome just need a couple more people
7:30 tonight call me for directions
it is on richards street right across texas from the target shoping center... you will see the bronco
well we got the tub in the back yard and the rest in the garage
one more
and I called shotgun!!!
looks good, any time you still need help for whatever, i'll help...if i don't have a test :flipoff2:
those ghosts are freakin me out man.
well it is that time of the year... i decided to decorate
i got a little done on the bronco last night but hit a stoppong point when i realized austin had my angle grinder backing plate on his angle grinder... i hit up lowe's and botco today and am back on the project...
i am moving the front hangers for the rear springs back ~2"... this will fix the problem i am having with my shackles
well that didnt take that long at all.. here are a few pics... i think it turned out great... and it added a couple inches to my wheelbase
so is your rear shackle angle better now?
hey tate why did you do this, if i remember right if your rear shackles have some angle like maybe 35-45 degree angle it allows better flex, i think by moving that you lost some down travel for sure. i dunno i could be wrong someone corret me.??

Your frame looks like a bassboat. According to Mr. Foxworthy, rednecks are attracted to shiny objects.
The shackles were angled wrong before, it wouldn't have gotten any downtravel much. When he puts weight on it, it'll probably sit perfect now.
yeah it was all messed up... they were at max forward sitting on level ground... it wouldnt have flexed at all... they are exactly where they need to be now
