    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    Well finally got to actually working on the truck after just looking at it for about a week or so, really had no motivation at all. Now that I want to sell or trade it...time to fix it. Here is the bag that blew, guess it was rubbing worse than I thought originally. Ordered 2 re7 for the front...

    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    Got the truck home finally, need to tear down the front end tomorrow and see what bags it was running and start trimming everything out so I can order some new ones. The lip held up good for being dragged up and down the flatbed surprisingly.

    Exhaust crossover is getting moved tomorrow hopefully, and then gonna try and get the front frame on the ground, hopefully wont take to much. Also noticed the front bags are going to need to be replaced since the po never cut out the pockets and they are rubbing. May be at its last show for the...

    First Im gonna try and paint the body line to match them with plastidip and see how that turns out which I think will bring it all together. We did think about paint matching them but of course I was too excited to have them on lol.

    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    Well the fenders I have are junk from being cut wrong inside, and also the edges were "baconed" badly so this was my thinking into a vw trick for running wider wheels and I just kinda wanted to do something different. Here was the reason for the flare, and most wheels I find and may run have a...

    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    Well wasn't really a fun weekend. Did install some 4x4 flares and chopped a good amount out behind them, just didn't take any pics of the fronts, which didn't help much at all sadly. Went for dinner with friends after the install and the clutch slave blew its seals and had to limp it home in 2nd...

    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    so I had to take my mom home from work today, and she said "wow this rides rough" (she is used to my other cars that rode like race cars fyi) and it got me thinking of how to make the bounce go away. Would new bags help? or rear shocks? Does moving the bags from over the axle to the sides on...

    This weekend ran to the local junk yard to find a bumper, but didn't think ahead enough to bring something to lay on. I found the perfect bumper I want but ill need to borrow a sawzall to just cut the brackets off and get some new ones. I like the roll pan but would rather have a bumper I feel...

    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    Well needed to add some straps due to the wood expanding from water...my fit was a little too tight anyway so also shaved one board down a little bit. Going to add a few more then figure out how to get to the battery easily just incase. This weekend or tomorrow I will be doing the front inner...

    matte black and chrome to almond work truck rebuild

    Decided yesterday to stain and protect the wood and went with some for a deck since it was a better price and made for outdoors. Good thing as well since it rained last night all night. Need to do the front tubs tonight so I can drive it since my jeep has to go to the body shop, just worry...

    front bag questions

    For something like that, a small tank and compressor could work well with some 1/4" paddle valves the more I think about it. 1/4" line is slow but wouldn't matter for you, and its easier to run.

    front bag questions

    Ive done this before on my past cars, but it was more of a temporary thing while waiting for my management to show up, so it was more to move the car around and test everything, and I was using a bike pump haha, but it only takes around 40psi to raise a vw up

    Hard to see, but this shows how much the guy cut, I may either hit the junk yard this weekend and cut a large section of bed out, or just use these and fill in the spots that are open for now. fenders by minthinrich, on Flickr fenders 3 by minthinrich, on Flickr fenders 2 by minthinrich, on Flickr
