Bobby Ford, yeah.... the steering has been leaking like that since i got it, i have been to scared to fix it because it doesn't seem like it would be fun at all.I'll do it.... eventually
This update was suppose to include some big updates on the front end but that is going to have to wait until this week because my boss at the welding shop was pretty busy and no one was at the racing shop. So i tinkered with some small projects.
-Instaleld air horns!!!!! Way too fun...
and VERY loud-Threw some sweeet 5" travel shocks on, they are maxed out at ride heigh so i left the nut at the very top of the shock stem... pretty gheto but its only for a couple days
-pulled the instrument cluster to cut wirse out that i'm not using to clean things up. And while it was out i pulled it apart, cleaned it out, installed some white face gauges i had laying around, and re-assembled.
-Removed my window nets. The ineterior looks a lot cleaner now and they were just getting in the way. I dont know why i didn't take them off sooner... maybe because they are super cool to put up while your driving around town
-Finally fixed the paint on the truck where the gas spilled onto it a long time ago when the stock tank was mounted in the bed.
-While i had the paint out i finally painted the stripes onto the fiberglass fenders
-To paint the fenders i had to pull the stickers so i pulled all the stickers off the truck besides the ones we made for the truck. I then repainted the areas where it pulled some of my paint off, and then I replaced the stickers but in a different spot. The truck has a cleaner look to it, it will help once i re-paint the whole truck in a couple months.
-Installed a cigarette lighter i got from the junkyard out of another bump. Now i can charge my ipod while i listen to it
-My rear axle bolts have been coming all the way loose every other day, flinging gear oil onto my rims. They would always be finger loose, so i pulled the axles, cleaned the bolts, re-sealed the gasket, and put new lock washers on.
-The truck has been firing slow, cranking fast but not firing for a while. I finally found the problem... a massive kink in the 1/2" line right after the cell, where it goes under the bed floor. So temporarily, i zip tied a pen to it to straighten it out
It starts fast again. Go ahead, cut me off
The best part is the whole setup would cost about $200 but i pieced it all together from a junkyard so it was a total of $20. Well, the line is new.
Toys at my control... CB Radio, ipod hooked to cig lighter/CD player, air horns (wired to same switch as stock horns for optimum loudness), front mounted offroad lights, rear amber light, etc.
Now DON'T leak!
