no one has said when or where for that meet.

 

true, we just need the date and location

 

DANM DUDE !!!! I am gone for 7 days and looky what you did. LMAO. I need to come over and check it out looks awesome!

 

hopefully its late april.

 

hey glad you made it home!

i tried to call you last night. i need your spare tire!!

btw no school tomorrow afternoon, swing by or give me a call!

 

What time you get off work? I would love to come see it.

Should I ask why you need my spare tire???

I will bring the spare with me tommorow.

 

i just need it so i can make the axle roll.. no jack stands then. only for a couple weeks.

i should be home by 4. call me or ill call when i get off work

 

ok cool.

I can not use the spare anymore anways so you can have it as long as you want.

You ever figure out the lug nut thing?

 

yea man, they are the same thread and everything.

my dad just popped it out with a hammer and i got a new one, only cost 2 bucks.

 

Good to hear. I wasn't sure if they were the same. Glad we didn't burn a hole in anything else

 

too bad you haven't dropped that fawkin tire off

lol just messin with yea.

ordered a new pitman arm yesterday, decided just to cut that old one off.

also ordered the parts for my new Stainless Steel Brake lines in the front. that place is awesome, told him what i was doing and he ordered the parts, never asked for my name or payment info and he said he would build them on the spot when i know the correct length.

other than that, i still dont know when im gonna start :(

 

sweet! what does those SS brake lines cost if you dont mind me asking?

 

well i found the receipt from my last order with them and the fittings raged from 5-10 each and the brake line is like 1.50 an inch? Plus the build charge it came to 121.99 for 2 15" lines.

i figure i need at least 30" per side so somewhere around 150 - 175 i bet.

BTW they are DOT certified and that is mainly why it cost so much compared to the lines you see online.

He told me last time he was making them that he has to get a DOT approved stamp for the fittings every year and that his machine is inspected every year as well. Basically that stamp is related to his company, my brake lines fail DOT tracks it back to him and its his fault.

 

sweet! i probably should get some........how did they improve your braking feel?

 

is it done yet??

 

Zach, I've been meaning to ask you a question... Does the stock mounting width of the lower control arms match up with the frame width/locations of the Ranger? I remember seeing one pic of someone having to offset the the mount for the control arms to the outside... They may have been on crack or using some weird type of control arms though...

 

On my throwing the parts together on the trailer and jack stands i measured roughly 34" across.

measure the frame from the outside to outside and my truck measures 34.5"

not to mention my arms are completely adjustable with over 2" of adjustment i dont think i will have any issues at all. the arms will mount right under the frame rail. like that white ranger.

 

i have a much firmer pedal then i had before. i like the feel of the pedal compared to most cars/trucks that i have drove. since it is firmer i dont need to push the pedal as hard either to stop

 

so your sayin you are gunna have like 35" Frame clearance between tires?

 

no its 34" wide back where the lower control arms will bolt to the truck.

 

I need to get longer brake lines mine are streched completely out

 

done yet

 

ha, your funny

 

so that's a no?


dammit i want more pics, lol.

 

I did drop yhe spare off lol. Then I wasted you at madden 07
