    Today i joined a big club, the rusty floor plan club but its not that bad (so far). I pulled up the drivers side carpet where your feet sit and theres only surface rust except for a hole the size of a thumb that goes all the way through the wheel well and you can see light. I'm in my last week of school so i don't have time to pull out the hole interior this week, but in a week ill do that and sand all the rust and hope for no more holes but then what should i do? should i get it linex? its easy to clean but expensive and takes a couple days, but then what about herculiner? And other good easy to clean bed liner substance. Can they fill the hole?I've heard thats not easy to clean, but its cheaper. also i would get my bed and wheel wells covered with the linex too cause I've been wanting that, but its just a money thing but ill start working again soon. also, could i just prime and paint it and somehow fill the hole or get something welded on. I'm a first timer with this so give me all the details. and yes I've looked at some other stuff, but still not sure what to do. thanks and here's 4 pics of it.

    You saw the herculiner in the back of my truck. Its dull, Ugly & starting to flake off (Yes i did prep VERY well) Like the other two have said, Check into U-pol. It is a little more expensive than herculiner, but looks a lot better quality. (And you can mix paint to make it diff colors) Ya, I remember it. I'll look into it. Thanks and my rock sliders finally came. I'm putting them on this weekend

    So I need a headliner and I'm tired of my plastic insert Bedliner. My dad has linex in his Silverado and it's awesome. I would love to get some but it's $$$ and i can't leave my truck somewhere for a couple days cause I got to get around. My question is, is herculiner worth it and would it be good to put in the cab as a headliner? A lot of people say it doesn't fade to much and it's also a good insulator. Or should I just get linex and a actual headliner with sound dampening material? Thanks

    Ive had a train horn installed, but it kept having problems because i put it under the hood by the engine and it was way to hot, so today i moved it to a spot right by the rocker panels tucked up int the side of the bed. The trumpets have been under the bed the whole time. here's so pics: [/url]">http:// [/url]">http:// [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_3559_zpsbkyrg1oy.jpg.html'> The only problem i didn't think of until i finished is that when my rock sliders finally come (I've been waiting 9 weeks from Nates 4x4, but its worth the wait), and so i think they could hit the tank, but ill fix it when I'm there. Lol, this train horn has caused me so many problems and money then its really worth, but its so much fun to be a fool sometimes

    And so because I'm shimming the pinion angle and get the spring perches welded on at 0 deg. Should I get the spring perches welded on around 3 degrees? I know it's gonna be somewhere around there and a little more but not sure. Is it worth guessing a bit or just doing it all with shims?
  6. Jackrabbit41
    To find pinion angle do I just put a angle finder flush with the yoke? And then it should be somewhere near the same angle of the t case operating angle at ride height? Thanks

    Sounds like a few hours of work to me. Something else to keep in mind is that I wouldn't reuse the u-bolts if you plan on taking the 35 out and then putting it back in. Either way, if time, space, or a welder is an issue, then use steel shims like Pete said.Cool thanks and I got the ruff stuff swap so I got all new u bolts

    I'd love to get a welder but I don't have the money and I want to do the actual swap on a weekend cause I need to be able to drive to school. How long would I take to pull out the d35 and put in the 8.8 to set spring perches and shocks and then put the d35 back in? Would I be able to do that in a weekend?
  9. Jackrabbit41
    I just want to do the swap myself and I dot have anyone that can bring a welder to me. So I think I'll just do shims if they are ok

    So i got my spring perches spaced out to the correct length. from outside to outside my springs are like 44.75 apart. so thats how far apart i put my new perches from the outside to the outside. Then I put my perch angle level with the housing at 0 degrees. I'm going to use shims to set pinion angle. Does this all sound correct? I'm trying to set all this up without pulling the dana 35, so thats why i want to use shims. Are they ok to use? thanks y'all

    After I get the money, probably not till next Christmas but I'm going to put an air locker in the front or a cable locker
  13. Jackrabbit41
    Ya I'll probably just pull the driveshsft and drive around like that for a week or so
  14. Jackrabbit41
    If I don't put it in 4wd ever can would 3.08s work with 4.10s in the back? This is probably a stupid question but I'm not sure
  15. Jackrabbit41
    Ya I'm going SOA

    I have a mechanic friend that knows how to do all this stuff and I think he's gonna help me do the gears and the welding for the 8.8. If not, then yes I'll take it to a shop to have it done
  17. Jackrabbit41
    Cool I didn't know that 4.10s and 4.11s work with each case other. And I'm probably doing the swap myself with a mechanic friend so I'm not planning on a warranty

    http://www.ronsmachiningservice.net/carrier-cases/dana/dana-30-bare-open-differential-carrier-case-3-73-up-706008x has4.11 gears for dana 30 but not 4.10s. Its to bad cause they got some cheap prices
  19. Jackrabbit41
    Thanks
  20. Jackrabbit41
    So is all I need the ring and pinion and then a master install kit?
  21. Jackrabbit41
    So I'm getting all the supplies for my 8.8 swap and i need to get some new 4.10s for my dana 30 cause its geared with 3.08s right now. Whats th best and cheapest ring and pinion and some websites have a lower ratio carrier. whats that? thanks and if i need anything else tell me please.

    Just got this ruff stuff 8.8 simple swap and i am really impressed with the quality. Its pricey but I'm glad i got this instead of trying to hack something together [/url]">http://http://s1148.photobucket.com/user/Jackrabbit123/media/IMG_3512_zps5qidxvge.jpg.html'>

  24. Jackrabbit41
    is something like this needed for the swap? http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-8579870-ford-8-8-parking-brake-hardware-kit.htmland http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-4985638-xj-ford-8-8-e-brake-cables.html or is there a cheaper way? I need my parking brake, i park on hills a lot, so i want to get it working.
  25. Jackrabbit41
    Is there anyway to set it up all before hand? like not having to take out the dana 35 id like to paint it when its out of the truck and i don't have my new lift yet so it will be awhile before i actually put it in. How long would it take to pull a 35 and put it back in?
