8 lug 44
sterling 10.25
zf-5
1356 tcase
36 12.5 r 16.5 H1 tires
You got all of it installed!? NICE!
well the platform is there, im changing some things though and still collecting parts.
lookin good man.

Got any left over parts for my truck?

i kinda like that pic
I assume it shifts better than it used to?
badass Will its about damn time!!!!1
thanks for the compliments, i dunno how it shifts. i havent driven it yet
pics of the front end? body lift now or later?
not everything is buttoned up yet so i didnt take pics of it. i like how it sits now so i need to get the parts to lift the suspension another 3" then i'll tkae off the body lift
i made a list tonight
1. Drill out stock pitman arm to 3/4" and install, and attatch steering
2. grind off stock coil buckets
3. install 78/9 coil bucks and drop 3" for more lift (maybe) for body lift removal
4. install f-250 shock mounts
5. order cheap shocks
6. install radius arm bushings
7. install sky mfg flip to correct angle and to give enough lift to take off body lift
8. shorten driveshaft and install
9. install trans crossmember
10. find chevy stub shafts, get ujoints, install with ford long shafts and install with warn premium hubs i have in the garage
11. front driveshaft install
12. set new gears (4.88's or 5.13's) in sterling 10.25 with master install kit
13. extend and box arms
14. new softer coils
ok so basically i have so much **** to do still on it. i suck at life. but im getting better....
oh and i estime that list to cost around.............. $1102
i sure wish i was out of college. im old balls enough to be
Blasphemy! I was just trying to figure out how I could get back into A&M last night without having to pay for it.Quote:

Is this the 44 I sold you going under the truck?
I think he's swapping all of Austin's old drivetrain in.
ooh this is a horrible idea. Asstin's front axle would blow ujoints and ball joints if you looked at it wrong.

workin on the truck today if anyone is bored and wants to stop by. i have beer to drink too. 2103865708
Did you ever ask about that truck? Heading back to Boerne anytime soon?
i'll call you later garrett. workin on it again today if anyone wants to come by.
Lookin good:)
i say you sold the tires and rims on tx4x4 what ones did you get to put on there now?
Looking good. Those hummer rims def suck the track width in some. Also, the rear looks pretty far forward, is that from shackle flip?
Drive it yet?
1. Drill out stock pitman arm to 3/4" and install, and attatch steering done
2. grind off stock coil buckets
3. install 78/9 coil bucks and drop 3" for more lift (maybe) for body lift removal
4. install f-250 shock mounts
5. order cheap shocks
6. install radius arm bushings done
7. install sky mfg flip to correct angle and to give enough lift to take off body lift
8. shorten driveshaft and install
9. install trans crossmember done
10. find chevy stub shafts, get ujoints, install with ford long shafts and install with warn premium hubs i have in the garage done
11. front driveshaft install done
12. set new gears (4.88's or 5.13's) in sterling 10.25 with master install kit
13. extend and box arms
14. new softer coils
everything in bold is what i got done. yesterday i also installed a new sag steering pump from an e150 along with the van pressure hose that goes to the steering box.
i also installed an f350 brake booster and MC and bled the brakes like crazy and tey are still really really soft. so i dont know what to do there
seth- yeah i still need to move the rear axle back 1.5" or so. i'll do that before i get my new driveshaft cut. i drove it around the block, but front wheel drive, and no shocks makes for a terrible ride.
colman- i got a set of 37 12.5 bfg mud terrains on H2 wheels for a damn good deal, so i sold the military tires.
damn, should hve showed up for the ride. you keeping the trac bar mount?
i think i changed my mind a little for now. think i'll just get a cheap set of shocks and leave the TTB buckets. when i extend the arms and get new coils thats when i'll change the buckets out to the 78/9 style. i also think i need to lift the rear a little more. it sits a little lower than the front. dont know by how much yet, havent measured. gonna order the shocks this week and shorten a drive shaft i have on thursday. more updates to come
