That's no fun. These would probably be a good investment.

seeing as he made his own, i don't think he needs the camburg ones.

beat me to saying the same thing

 

[prerunnerwannabe]

Oops. I probably should have actually looked at the "the fix" picture

i had these on the wish list. shit happens. im just happy that i found the problem when i did. free access to a shop and a good excuse to get away from the in laws. that kit would have saved me lots of time.

hey swick, did your coils settle down at all?

a little but not fully. i need to drop the kit and reset them. its not a big deal since i have company truck that i use daily.

hate to do this but shit has turned from form to function.

looking to sell my bed and shell. i have come to the realization that to keep this bed it would be more of a hassle. im in chico ca. and can deliver. would like to 500 for the set or 400 for the shell and 200 for the bed. prices are obo. im also interested in trades.

the shell has a couple chips along the upper leading edge near the cab. other then that the shell is very clean. all the windows are sliders and you are able to insert door screen.

the bed shows its age and has scratches but non to deep. i removed the tail gate hinges to remote mount them to the bumper. this was done to support the weight of the tail gate and to save the bed from folding.

this is how my day started. testing my bumper/receiver.

the middle of my day

the end of my day.

the the bottom one is for the step side bed.

in all i spent 9 hours driving today. very good test session. the trailer tracked straight and true. i even attached a gopro to the rear of the trailer. ill post once i figure out how to.

 

[howeyfeltersnatch]

did you get your bed from a guy in modesto

 

[swickwake]

^^^ close enough. he was in manteca.

full ranger width tire/jerry can gate. the spindles are up side down.

i need a tail gate so i can finish trimming the bed to fit. also the tire carrier is for sale 150 takes it.

Bed looks familiar, you buy it from a kid named Stephen?

 

[swickwake]

yep bought it for the price of a 30 pack of BL and the drive time from chico and back. also gave me a chance to the bumper/receiver.

heres a little something. im having some problems with the springs not sitting right in the lower bucket. so i mounted up the go pro to help out a little.

mounted my bed box to the tire carrier.

i know the case is for the 9.5 and the gears are 4.10. the width over all is 61-62 inches. this housing will match up pretty good with the 65" wms to wms of my front end. a 9" member will fit perfectly but im not sure if the axles will work.
