4-door, longbed, dually J-20(30?)

Pretty cool setup, and also the world's longest front driveshaft.

[ellis93]

It's unique,that is for certain

Reckon what the details on it is?

[Tacoclaw]

No idea. They look like Ford steelies, and a driver's drop front DS. Aside from it having Ford axles, I couldn't tell you.

The ALH engine is one of the best TDI's made, but keep a close eye on the timing belt, it can sneak up and
bit you for about $1,200 with you doing all the work.

And don't be cheap when you you buy a belt, get a good one! Friend of mine broke his belt and had to get the head done. He bought the cheapest belt he could find online, even after another TDI buddy told him not to. A month later he was pulling the head off because the belt broke and munched the valves again.
And the funniest part is he doesn't learn from these deals, he still won't buy the best parts or fix things right, and it bites him in the ass every other time.

New springs, ubolts, and spindle bearings/seals will be on order tomorrow, it's time to get this bad boy rolling.

So I got new headlights for jaeger. They're nice. I'll post pictures sometime

[dazedandconfused]

Levi is that still riding around in the bed of your truck?

[Tacoclaw]

Pfffffft, no, don't be ridiculous. What do you think I am, some kind of completely lazy saslohe?







Yes.

In all fairness, I've been driving the Ranger since that trip, diesel is creeping up again and I'm not buying it unless I need to.

[dazedandconfused]

Hahaha did you fix the driveshaft or have you just been focused on the RC?

[DMan1198]

My new headlights are definitely brighter which is good, but they need adjusting as they are aimed very low

I've delt with horses,cow,chickens,pigs and goats......and never have I ever been charged or thrown by a one. Even fooling with heffers with calves (banding them) have I managed to be mangled.....till today. Let me tell you this.....if there are "cowboys" here amongst use,you can have that schit. I freakin hurt,not by the cow hitting me but by the sudden stop at the end of the toss I was given. That beooch stared at me for just a few seconds while I tried to get around it from the front....then like lightning she struck. I took it straight in the chest and gut.,knocking the wind from me and throwing me about 10 or 12'. Unpleasant to say the least.
If she hadn't been going to the sale barn,she'd have eaten a bullet

Truck pulled ok tho
Big diff going from the 7x10 back to the 5x10s,not nearly as much nuts

[cmann250]

Been there done that.

[ellis93]

It won't happen again.....least by my own fault. I should have seen it coming I guess

Weirdo feeling.....flying with no wings

It's hard to believe the interior plastic is so brittle on our trucks...I broke every piece I touched today. Gauge cluster, hvac controls, dash bezel, fuse block cover, steering column surrounds (3 of 4). Not to mention a fair share of cuts to go along with
