Sharpe where did you get the new pressure switch/ cutoff? I gave a harbor freight compressor that needs one.

dude you may have stolen my record for amount of time wasted trying to make the wheels on an off-road rig look good
From now on, no more xo-rust paint. The **** takes at least 8 hours to cure between coats, **** that. The Rustoleum I'm using on the outer rings takes ~30 minutes before its ready for the next coat, which is about how long it takes to do all 4 rings. The xo-rust also seems to spray like ****. On the can, it says not to thin it at all if spraying and while it isnt that thick, it could be thinner. I thinned the rustoleum per the instructions and it sprayed awsome. The gun even responded to tuning adjustments! I found an OLD can of the same gloss black xo-rust and it says if you thin to use xy*** sparingly, so I'm going to try that on a piece of scrap tomorrow and if it works ok, use it for the second coat.
I added another air drier today and while it had moisture in it when I was done, the (new) disposable desicant was used up by the time I was done with the first coat on the inner wheel halves. The paints I am using are bubba-farm-use kinda **** so I dont see a little moisture causing any serious problems but if I do any serious body work in the future, I am going to invest in a real cooler/dehumidifier. I am putting a decent effort into making these look good but I am doing this more for practice at using a paint gun, and saving money (vs. aerosol cans).
Oh yah, the bucket fell off the HF paint gun at one point. Shaking it around loosened the locking tab. Made a big ****ing silver mess.

xo rust may take awhile, but its the best stuff for your application
If you wanna get into painting I would get an hlvp gravity feed gun for your next project. I like mine a lot better that the style like you have.

You have got to be ****ing kidding me. I tried to get a quote for the last two 42's I need to buy from Foothill Motorsports and they said the tires are on backorder until June or July because Interco is on strike. FML. Maybe 4wp has some in stock somewhere. Do we have any kind of vendor hookup for tires?

I thought there was a shortage, because denham (sp?) tire was closing and had produced many of their tires. I think i read that on here or on pirate...maybe pirate.
We are having problems finding 33-35" tires for vehicles on our lot right now. Suppliers keep blaming China...
Built a new, hopefully straighter, front driveshaft today. It started with a two piece rear shaft from a Chevy LWB truck.
The splined portion of this shaft had a major diameter of 1.5"
I am using 2" 1/4 wall square for the inner part of the slip, perfect. I cut the male splined part off the original shaft, it will be used to align the trimmed down yoke with the inner square tube before final welding.
All done. ~38" long fully compressed.
A little over a foot of slip while maintaining adequate engagement. I used 2 1/2" 1/4 wall for the outer tube so a notch had to be ground into the inner tube to clear the seam.
Installed and GTG.

The weight...is sign of reliability!
Looks good!
Got the truck up to 30-35 MPH in 4wd and the front driveshaft vibration is barely noticable. Much better than my old one for sure.
Due to this tire shortage issue, I am tossing around a few ideas. 4WP and Foothill Motorsports both said it would be July before the 42's are available again, and I'm not going to wait that long. I have this dumbass plan of installing a rockwell rear with a pair of 53" Michelin XL's on the back and my 42's on the front. The 6.71 gears in the rockwell and a 5.13 gear swap in the D60 net a ~3% difference in linear motion per revolution with their respective tires. This difference should be negligible enough on dirt to not cause any problems. The ride height can be leveled out by raising the rear spring hangers and/or adding lift springs in the front. This is some crazy redneck **** but I have been thinking about it for awhile and it would fit Pigpen's image overall.
Try to talk me out of it

And that's all I have to say about that.
