Felt great to drive it, I was a bit nervous and it was bouncy without rear shocks also need to get the sway bar mounted lol she is top heavy, did not over heat or spew any fluids on the way so that was great, my bicycle got a flat tire on the way home so I had to walk the last mile in a half that was definitely suckin

Man, she looks good. Really makes me want to figure out how to stuff 35’s without a SOA. But thats more work and money, so I’ll be content on 33’s and I’ll stop looking at your pics. Congrats!

I must having a slow morning....... was trying to figure out what your bike had to do with the Jeep - then realized you were referring to the Jeep.

Right? LOL

If that was the Jeep that had the flat, I’m sure that did take some of the fun out

Holy smokes dude! That’s amazing. I’m both jealous and proud of you. It’s in now way meant to be condescending, it’s just great to seen one of the boys on the forum take flight.

Great work!

When I was replacing ball joints I left rotors on knuckles when I rotated the rotors the old bearings I cleaned and re used felt a little crunchy so I decided to get some new front wheel bearings instead of taking a chance of smoking a $100 spindle


It was a lot harder than it should be to find the correct part numbers for Tim Ken bearings on an 83 Dodge W150, for whatever reason my usual parts stores don’t carry them and Amazon is horrible for parts number references
