Today a cut off wheel exploded and lodged half itself in my garage wall and half in the neighbors garage door, about 100 (give or take 50) feet away. Fuckin Harbor Freight cheep sweet shop bull shit.

I've consumed a shit ton of cut off wheels of all different brands including harbor freight and never had any explode that weren't caused by binding the disk up

Ill repeat what I said on pirate. Get a real camera. I hate looking at pictures some one having a seizure is taking.

hell, its rare i take time for pics ...and then time to load and set them up. should be happy theres as many as there are.






as to the springs, when using the ranger rears you need to fully double the main with a cut main and build from there.

with the b2 its fine, ext cabs though wont do well. especially with big v8 and winches and shit.

i broke some rbv bastards in half fawking around with them, and my truck was tall as a tree. set up just like yours originally but i went to rear hangers and tighter shorter spring to lower it to a sane height. you need the height with the wheel base though. its gonna be like driving a semi trctor around, i think your gonna hate the wheel base. i know mine bugs me a lil. i am @ 127/8. i can run up to 44 in tires with @ a net 5.5 susp lift and 3 in body lift with trim. i plan to go 1.5 body lift and add 3 in of susp lift back to it.

and coils or coilovers too i hope.


how do you like the waggy springs? what exact units are you running?

Wanna see what happens when a grinder wheel explodes and what it does to everything around it? It exploded, one side went into adam's garage and the other hit my car,took paint off,and then continued to skip across the street and then embed it's self into his neighbor's garage.

Inside Adam's garage.

What it did to his neighbors garage after I yanked it out,it was stuck pretty good.

Before I yanked it out.

Damage to my car.I told the manager the least I want out of this is the damage to my car being fixed,He was a total douche nozzle about it.Didn't seem phased at all.

Adam's axle flexing without tires.

Also keep in mind those spring packs are gonna get built with a shorter main leaf and a lot less springs.

Never binded,Adam handed me the grinder and I was just about to start cutting and then bam she just let go.

Fawk, imagine if that had hit flesh........ It would have fucked you up.

 

[badblue]

I got 25 stitches when one did that on my right leg.

 

[Sunk]

Damn that's crazy. Nice flex. I'm looking forward to seeing this thing out driving over some stuff.

hmmmm......i sense a moose knuckle vs dollar store whore showdown coming soon.

Meet at helldorado so we can kick your ass?

Fawk, imagine if that had hit flesh........ It would have fucked you up.

I've thought about it long and hard if it had hit one of us we'd be severely injured.

Just a quick comment about grinding wheels and cut offs, you should always tap it lightly with wrench or something metal, the wheel should have a nice sharp noise and should ring on a larger unit. When you tap it and it sounds like a dull thud, do not use it!


Anyone who has taken a machining class or worked in an industry that involves cutting and grinding should have learned this.

My dad and grandpa pour concrete along with my uncle, brother, and my self. So grandpa is cutting some pieces of a garage floor, and wants tocut some of the wood from the garage door frame out of the way. So he is cutting the wood with a metal cutting blade and after about a minute it just explodes. Thank god he had his head to the side looking at where he was cutting. A piece of the blade shot up and stuck into the ceiling. another piece hit my brothers ear a bit. Scary
