Is that the j-o-b?

Yes, for now. We mostly do floors in gyms, outside courts are rare (and a major PITA).

If you decide to pick em up grab another set and I'll come down to pick em up and meet you and take you out for a beer, or I'll come down to meet you and we can wrench over at pap. Either way I've been looking for those.

Did you put some on the oil pan?

Oil pan is going on later this week or next week.

 

[Lowrange2]

I started making some bump stops for the back. I'm trying something a lil different. I'm not the greatest fab person around so it's not pretty and it's probably not the best way to do it but I think it will work. Instead of mounting the stop directly under the frame rail and stop on the axle tube I mounted the stop outboard of the frame rail and made it stop on the top of the spring plate. I don't have pictures but when I'm done with it I'll post some up so ya';; can tell me if I need to redo it. lol

In all seriousness though, bedliner is pretty freakin tough, may not be a bad idea on the oil pan except for possible heat retention

 

[cracked-butt]

Did you put the bolts back in?

only bolts i put back in from the SWAY-BAR is the ones that go to the U-clamps (or what ever they are called) that bolt on to the front frame. those are the only ones on there, other than the links, which i removed both of. so now where the links where attatched there is a "tab" sticking out at the base of the front springs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

took it up the road & got two loads of chimney brick so i can build me a nice little firepit/ bar-b-q pit
the first load was a lil bit heavy... the rear end was sagging so low ya couldn't see the tops of the rear tires. second load wasn't as bad.
