I know. It doesn't always give up and go smoothly, but at some point it's been resolved to the point that it has no choice. That often happens when I bring out Smokey the Blue-Tipped Wrench. :icon_welder::icon_thumby:Don't you just luv all the experience that you get from fighting everything!
Keep plugging away.....it'll give up and go smoothly
It's gettin there. I don't know if anyone noticed, but I tried something different with the shock mounting. I bought some prefab shock tabs, cut the stud off the radius arms and welded the tabs on. I tried using D-28 arms for the original extended arms with the original D-28 axle I had under it, but I had problems with getting the bolts in and tightened since the backside was plated and I had problems with the shock rubbing and binding. The one stud was junk on my Explorer radius arms and I spent some time trying to come up with a good solution until I found that Ballistic Fab had a special on shock tabs, like $2 a pair. Figured it was worth a try and it looks like it might have worked out pretty good.looks good
lol, that's a little far for just a few welds! Although I wouldn't mind the road trip.bring it on down, i'll weld it up for ya.
like i said in my PM a few months back, the house up there burned down, so i dont know if we're coming up in august or not. i might be able to sneak the welder in the car without the wife noticing. lol
Thanks! It's been taking forever and starting to really drive me nuts. Especially on the warm days we've been having. I want to be driving it again.looks good dude
