I messed up my truck after hitting that sink hole which was alright i guess not too pricey. But then this week has been crazy.

First my truck is working being a mutt.... 04 Ranger parts, 03 Ranger parts, Jeep parts, Chevy parts, Explorer Parts, etc...

Ive been working on rebuilding a 31 spline 8.8 with drums for my truck, just wanted the bigger axle shafts, well when I ordered the pads for it I ordered the 91 Explorer shoes and spring kit. Then i got a full set of drum brakes from Bill for cheap, which was cool, a few months later i finally get to installing the brakes on it and the pads wont work! wtf, well then i remembered these are explorer brake shoes... They were close but just not right. Cant find the receipt! Great!

So now i need new brake shoes! Crap.

I'm working on the truck tonight and I had hung the calipers up on the frame, wouldnt you know it one falls and as its falling it kinks the line. bah!

So what else could possibly go wrong this week! lol

I'm sure more is to come... Ive got to get my 31 spline ready for Friday and my D30 ready, not to mention flush the tranny. lol

Yeah idk why i made this thread but i did

I think after this weekend, I'm going to be sick and tired of working on the truck and blowing money left and right

 

ill trade you for mine ?

 

i think we are both having a bad week

 

i can speak up when it comes to spending the money and working on the truck..

ive been spending money like crazy gettin parts for my secret rear axle i have..which ill be postin pics tomorrow of it.. (: sooo ssshhh for one more day!!

 

I guess you really did mean poors instead of pours. Your truck is making you poor!

 

you got the matching front yet?

 

Zach you should start biking. I've started, gas is being all jumpy and stuff.

 

X2, Also, it "pours" altho, in a punny sense, it does "poor".

 

try reading other people's posts first!

 

whatev. You can have an X2 to feel better.

 

fine...go back and edit your post to say x2 while quoting me. lol

 

try cutting the rotors this week, tranny fluid flush from ford, computer update whatever that is but the truck is running good, bfg 32s so yea i have blown some money and asap some 4.10s and ford trac lok

 

Yeah that will buff out.

 

Aaron? WTF?

Your truck and my sammi would get along nicely. I've been chasing gremlins in the brake system for the better part of 3 weeks and it still isn't working. I can't get the new windshield in for the life of me, and now my transfer case is making all kinds of funky noises and won't go into 2wd. I feel your pain man.

 

Sucks man, hope everything works out ok.

 

have not but all the parts for the rear are ordered..

near 1000 dollars later..

 

I thought you where talking about the rain we got today.

Your truck is coming together nicley. With new stuff (expecially custom) there are always going to be alot of bugs to work out. Eventually it will become a problem free truck.....atleast until the rear end

 

man that sucks... and yay Aaron isnt banned anymore

 

yeah i knew it would be a problem, just tired of working on it right now.

and yea i used the wrong pour but either will work

 

sorry to hear man......

no matter what, whenever you are working with a vehicle, there will be unexpected delays, expenses and so forth.......

keep up the good work, you are doing a good job...

 

Damn man that sucks, see what I miss when I dont log on for a week lol.

 

Whoa.
