Project black betty(aka money pit)

[jaymegriffiths]

o and im not submitting the method for install on the cam sensor until i get it running and am confident it was a success...

 

[dangerranger83]

Hope it was a success. If I bought a new car or motorcycle the car would have to be a Mazda RX-8 and the motorcycle would be a Harly-Davidson Crossbones.

Ya women are expencive but so are trucks when you modifiy them but they dont fight with changes and they dont divorce you. Plus if you want to trade them you can, or you can get a newer one and still keep the old one and have no complaints.

I wasn't ignoring TRS, I was gone because my sister had her first child. I was awake for 27 hours until she had the child, thats along time to be in labor. I wasn't by an internet sorce to be able to able to get on TRS. Oh well I'm back.

Like the speakers, that sould draw some attention to BB, weither its the attention you want or not. Plus BB is extended cab so she has the room for them unlike my truck. As for my truck, priorities first (SAS, interior), then the details.

I'm tring to find a set of spring hangers but cant find a decent set. I need to find out what people have used. As for shackles, I might be able to make a set, they don't look to difficult to make. I might be able to make perches but we shall see about that. Whatever rought is cheapest is the way I'm going to go with.

If I had space in my garage I would rip out my interior and put my floor boards in. Need to get my brother-in-laws motorcycle out of there and my 2.3 liter engine sold.

finally!

update: sorry, nothing done so far. been so busy. i dunno how some of these guys do it. although they have their own garages/must be millionairres. cause im dead broke. ok not quite

 

[dangerranger83]

Simple. They buy all the parts before starting and do it over time not all in one hit. Kind of like me. I wont do my SAS until I have everything and enough money incase something comes up that I might have over looked.

Does the 4x4 work on the sploder? If not theres something else to fix. Mabey you should sell your sploder or other rangers to fund your projects. Or stop buy so many trucks!!!!!

haha the one i got today was free. and the exploder is mint. needs nothing. sept a radio since the previous owner kept the deck since he needed one, so...

 

[dangerranger83]

I want to see what free looks like....you've seen my free truck. If you make a build thread for it call it project free truck. How do you get this truck for free anyways?????

my dad has been a mechanic for a long time. he knows the auto wreckers very well and has established some good relationships. since i was little i've been following him around and lots of his friends know me well too. we've been pretty loyal to one auto wrecker who we know well, a guy named kieth, and when i told him i needed a driveshaft he looked for me. he found a truck out in regina beach, about 1/2 an hour drive that the guy just wanted it gone, so kieth said you tow it home you can have it, and in return, i gave him my 89 to scrap (since he sold it to me at cost, 300bux, i pulled the tranny after drivin it for 2 months) and so now i have a set of keys and a map, now its just a matter of getting it home, to assess the damage. i think it has a pooched tranny, so we will see. perhaps it will just be a donor vin# truck. haha

PS we also get a pretty decent discount at one specific parts supplier(cost+10%)

 

[dangerranger83]

Get it home ASAP. As for parts I need to have you get them for me.

i would gladly price out parts for you. and get shipping quotes, etc. sept i dunno if you'd trust me enough to pay cash. cause i am only 17 so i dont have a credit card or paypal, nor do i know how to use them. in fact, im new to shipping interational. maybe bus rates wouldn't be too bad. i figure parts at my discount+shipping shoud run you at least 10%less than what your payin now depending on weight/size. and the border crossing fee's. hmm... all i know is brake pads for my truck are 48.99 reg, i pay 16.00. so i know im getting a good deal.

 

[dangerranger83]

I think it would cost more in the long run. I'm only 20. I dont have credit cards, just a debit card. Paypal is easy to use and thats all I use when I order things. Brakes for my truck from autozone are only 20 bucks and they are limited life time warranty.

we dont have autozone here. which is unfortunate cause i've only heard good about that place.
its the expensive stuff that the discounts nice. like my clutch, reg 279.99, mine for 229.99 50 bux is a tank of gas, so thats just how i see it

20 and no credit card? have you ever got a loan or something? im getting a credit card when im 18 but just to establish a good credit rating...
