Gone already..

JUST finished that panhard rod. Decided to checkout the Waterfront as we have some FRESH streets ( they added an industrial area off Tift St./Fhurman BLVD that runs into Lackawanna NY )

I dunno WHERE it went! I KNOW it was on when I first starter playing around.. Things were nice and tight.. steady.. I stopped to take some pics ( the ones I'm posting ) .. When I was heading back I went to hang it out.. bouncing happened.. Stopped and took a look, thought I broke something..

Whole bar is gone.. WTF?!?!

So I drove down the road looking for any signs of it.. Its just GONE, like the files on a mac.. GONE!

I'll just make another one tomorrow. Its a stupid 3/4 bolt, 2bushings, 32 inches of pipe, 2x 2-inchID hunks of pipe and some welding/tapping. 1hr work, max.

I should have run the buffer over this thing before taking it out. All sorts of handprints on it. I still haven't done anything to it since I painted it. Need to use some 1500grit and a buffer to smooth it all out.

Purty. Is the door a different shade of blue than the rest of the truck?

Mykhael 10-18-2008 07:22 PM

I had some problems a while back. My eyes are Photo-phobic. Bright sunlight gives me migraines and such so.. I avoid doing photo work during the day. I think I would actually suck at it to be honest ( daytime photography that is. )

Its lighter in one picture, darker in the other.. I really need to use some 1500grit on that whole side and clean it all up.

The brackets are there.. no cracks.. signs of stress..

I'm wondering if I tightened it down all the way or not LOL! Its just GONE, like it was unbolted.. :guilty:

Can't explain it.

zabeard 10-18-2008 07:37 PM

Yep. Bolt on the passengers side and the nut on the drivers side. Both were nylon insert type as well.

Ahh one of those days. I have those more then I care to admit... haha... glad to hear you saved an hour's worth of work though.

TheStig88 10-18-2008 08:21 PM

i had a day like that....

my stereos head unit has a thermal shut off that cuts the main power when it gets too hot.
i get in the truck on a warm summer day and i start to wonder why the radio doesn't work...
i took it out...check the fuses...rewired the speakers....all to find out that the thermal shut off kicked in cause i had the windows up all day and it got hot. all i had to do was hold the power button until it came on....

Ray_Welder 10-18-2008 08:21 PM

When you were driving it, were you like, "Wow that bar works good!" only to find its sitting in the shop?

Nice truck D. I like lifted trucks but that has to be one of the meanest looking lowered powerhouses ive seen

Not to sound rude or Elitist.. But anyone can ruin and buy a body-lift or an RCD kit and lift a truck. Making them stick to the ground is a totally different ballgame.

I never hated lifted trucks.. but they get bland really quick.. everyone has one..
