A few things

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Redneck_ranger, Feb 22, 2012.

  1. Alright, so aside from the boring name, today was not boring at all. Took the truck in for inspection, needed a right side outer tie rod end, and new brakes again. Now that they're working perfectly... I can focus on fixing my camber. It seems almost like the tie rod helped out, so I may try it on the other side sometime soon to see if it really did. Next, repainted my rockers with actual spray on bedliner, pics to come tomorrow. Finished wrapping it around to the tailgate, and painted the valley on the hood. Now comes the fun part. My buddies and I went to the mall, then on the way out my bud with the lifted Durango got cut off and nailed a curb. Cracked his rim and bent the torsion bar pretty good. So we're taking a junk yard run to Harry's in Hazleton on Saturday morning. Figured I'd throw that out there in case one of y'all wanted to join us. So yeah, pretty eventful day. Pics to come tomorrow of the painted rockers.

    The roll on stuff does look better, but I didn't really want the rough look of it. Mine's smooth, but has grit in it.

    PAIN? Or PAINT? Haha. Hopefully paint. And yeah, had one explode before inside my uncle's old truck... Not fun. Sounded like a gunshot going off in his single cab ram

    Not to thread jack but I was grinding on a nail on a bench grinder and it threw it out of my hands right into a paint can lol. My yellow shirt turned black...

    And one other time I threw a 3/4 full can of paint in the fire... For some reason it exploded in a firey blaze and burnt my forehead off lol

    We do too... I may/may not get a main driveshaft. But my buddy needs a new torsion bar, wheel, steering column, and another thing... And I may grab the bedliner out of my clone if I can, and possibly the rear door latches if they're there. I would love to keep my doors shut.

    ^^ i think that truck's gone man, i didin't see it last weekend. there are a bunch of '00 supercab's though.

    if i go i wanna grab an OHC, the floormat's out of the one ranger if it's still there, a console for my buddie, and sunvisors for my mother's isuzu trooper. and a ton of other shet, lol.

    Dammit.... I hope it's still there. There was a lot I could have used from it. Do the 00 supercabs have the rear opening doors?

    yeah, there were at least 2 or 3 with the rear doors. and most of 'em had bedliners too, so you're in luck with those parts.
