welp I havent been around in a minute, no real reason why lol just burnt out on stuff I guess. but here are some interesting updates.

dane, the quad is a no go, we tried starting it up a few weeks ago and the motor seized, its toast.

officially furloughed from work, havent worked in almost 3 weeks which sucks buuuuuuut, im getting a lot closer to a SAS. I bought a dana 60 full width, dana 44 8 lug full width both have 4.10s the 60 is welded and has a trus on it. the 44 is rebuilt with fresh seals and ball joints, and bearings and new rotors and pads. it came with calipers, heims for the radius arms, the stock radius arms i can use to modify and make extended arms, and the track bar. so I need to get steering stuff together, then a driveline and some metal and im set. shit is starting to get real. its on hold until I get more money flowing again but im a loooooot closer.

Seats. Buckets or split bench? Condition?

Shit homie, welcome to the club. I'm still out of a job and my side work is starting to dry up. That shit sucks and I'm bored out of my mind.

Go to Parts Mike in Auburn for your steering. He'll get your shit set up right.
I get pretty good prices on steel through my dads shop, let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do.

Bummer. Does that mean you don't want the truck anymore?

 

[2004xlmiller]

ben what happened to the D44 and 9in you had off your dads parts bronco?

 

[2004xlmiller]

heres an update of my own..

 

[ben10]

dane, cant do the ranger right now, not beinng unemployed. I just found out I dont qualify for unemployment either, so I gotta get on the job hunt hard... I got ****ed royally.

yeah once I get close Ill be hitting you up tom, I need to get some steel to plate the frame and make tabs and other stuff, and i need to get some DOM for steering and radius arms, it will be a bit down the road tho.

 

[dhkonrad]

That's cool, I was just making sure. I know of machine shop that was looking for someone a while back, idk if you are interested... Only thing is, it is in auburn...

 

[ben10]

auburn isnt far from me, im in citrus heights. are they looking for fab skills and such? my skills are pretty basic but im very mechanically inclined.

 

[dhkonrad]

Naw I don't think fab skills are needed, but a "mechanical mind". at least I think that's how he put it... lol. Ill Check and see if he is still looking. No promises though.

 

[ben10]

for sure. thanks dane. If I get back to work, i still might be interested in picking up that ranger.

morg not using my dads axles, decided i wanted 8 lug and with the 4.10s I can get rolling for cheaper and this axle is really nice. plus with the 60 out back im totally set.
