Those things are slower than the 2.5s. And that's sad. Cummins makes a 3.3L diesel. 3.3BT I think it's called. It will actually fit unlike the 4BT. And you can adapt it to just about any tranny.... Either way, I'm not an oil-burner fan.

The 2-dr flip seats come with funky rails so they sit higher. I actually like it because I can see over the hood better. But, if I put the sun visor down at all, I can't see $#!&.

are these parts stock?

Stock track bars can't be adjusted... Right? -
Easiest way to shorten a LB wheelbase?
DirtyComanche replied to BARILLMS's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
It's grade 2, course thread. Absolute $#!&. Go to a machine shop and buy gr12 all-thread... At $12 a foot it's a little harsh though. -
I didn't cut the shocks, they jsut happen to be lying on the bed with a bunch of other stuff (like driveshafts) Unless you're talking about the grease in the slip yokes. It just kinda got sqeezed out. I'll get some pics here... They're both just tacked together to check length and runout right now. Need to put the front axle back in though.

Those aren't ment to be abused cages... They're to get you to pass tech on the drag-strip. Only good for one use. But, interior cages and wheeling tends to work like that.

Uh, I made two beautiful driveshafts. Top speed is probably going to be about 20. I also cut down and sleeved my tie-rod, threw it on the front axle. Which also is now geared, FINIALLY. Only two things that are holding me up is I can't get a reamer for my pitman arm (might have to booty fab this...) and I don't have a drill bit larger than 3/4. I have holes saws, but, they don't work when you're trying to enlarge a hole. So, I'll go out and buy a step-bit and some bolts tomorrow and get my @$$ back in the shop and hopefully I'll have the thing rolling again, then I can fix the slight problems in the rear end and the tcase shifter and a little wiring and call it good enough. Deadline is looming.

Buddy of mine picked up a F350. HPD60/Sterling 10.25/460/C6/NP-something... For, $1000. Sold the 460 for $800. The sterling for $200. The C6/T-case and body are going to go too. So, his HPD60 (came with 4.10 gears too :roll: ) so far has cost him nothing. F' I hate him. -

You forgot an important part. You have to saw the steering wheel back and forth while you hold the right pedal to the floor. -

Well, can he not move the spring hangers forewards? Then, run buggy shackles with a shorter spring to help departure? Yes, there is evil there... I have no idea what went on in this post so far, so if you read this and think "That guy needs to lay off the cheeba" it's becuase I'm lazy, not stoned. -
Poor boy driveshaft time: A couple of the donors: Image Not Found The poor boy chop saw method of cutting down the tubes: Image Not Found Hacked off: Image Not Found The tube was left to allow me to slip a peice of pipe over it. Yes, I am going to build a pipe driveshaft. 2" Sch40 is 2.01~ ID, so it'll fit over the 2" tube really nice. Removing the balancing weight so I can cut it down: Image Not Found Who needs a balanced driveshaft anyways? Finished as of tonight: Image Not Found I'll pick up my pipe tomorrow and give it a shot. Worst case scenario I just destoryed a $30 driveshaft. I've made bigger mistakes.

No can do. I have zero cash and these were given to me. So, I'm working with what I've got. Maybe I'll put it near the stock antenna, but on the driver's side.
-
AHAHAHAHAHAHAH BWAHAAHHA That guy needs help :nuts: or to at least hide his porn a little better.
-
Put it for sale in the for sale forum. There's a bunch of guys who frequent this site that are always looking.
-
Where'd you put your antenna(s)? I was thinking behind the cab, to make them as high as possible. Only problem is I'll probably break them off. Don't really have any space up front... They're 5' fiberglass el cheapos.

The 'ell is this?
DirtyComanche replied to DirtyComanche's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Yeah, apparently it is. I could have looked it up, but I was too lazy. Dunno how bad it'll run without it. -
Florida plates have an orange in the middle, that looks like an "o". I saw a pic of a plate that read "A5S RGY".
-
Image Not Found What is it? Do I need it? It's in my way. I will kill it soon. Just like the deer on the road.
-
Nah, you were thinking of me. I was talking about using gloss black/flat black. But, black and very close colours work well.

See! I was right! :Canadaflag: :nuts:

The fenders are different. But, I don't know if it matters. I think the lines might be a bit different?
