junkyard junkie
still havent started the trailer yet. i want to but i cannt get the help or tractor back there where i have the bed to get it into the shop to lay out the frame. all this rain just wont break and dry up enough! i put that bed in the wrong spot for dam sure! my brother is dam near useless little girl when it comes to helping me lift stuff!
hopefully the area drys out enough so i can get back there with the tractor and pick it up and get it into the drive way area where i can put it on wheels to move it around on the pavement!
just as soon as that happens i should be able to knock it out quick enough!
on another note im still waiting on hardware for my Nfamous 3link kit.... this whole ordering experience has really been pissing me off! 1 month to get my order that i was told was all instock and ready to ship the next morning... and after amonth of waiting i finally got it BUT the box was destroyed from UPS. and the 3rd link was welded incorrectly and not straight/even end links on the wishbone. another month to get the wishbone replaced and they also sent me the missing bushings BUT the failed to give me all of the missing hardware i was missing! and they wouldnt even file a claim thru UPS for the damaged/lost parts from the package which completly dumb founds me! well HOPEFULLY they get me those missing hardware parts i need so i can finally have all the parts for my rear kit! its just been really frustrating!!!! hell i ordered the rear kit on February 8, 2013.... going on april 28th and order still not fully completed! i know the lost hardware and bushings werent there fault BUT the month+ to get simple hardware and bushings as well as the incorrectly welded wishbone is just nuts! needless to say im on the fence about ever ordering from them again! customer service just BLOWS!!!!! they need to seperate there local business from online sales IMO.
but on a plus side. i have the drilled/slotted rotors installed and painted. and so far i dont feel a big difference in brake performance BUT so far i dont feel that brake shutter in the steering wheel SO FAR so that makes me happy. but the brake performance could be hurting alittle from reusing brake pads so once they fully seat onto the rotors it could improve brake feel. i can see just by a quick test drive there is plenty of brake pad wear into the rotors slots.
but they look great!
next project on the truck will be the rear drums. they look pretty ugly now! just gotta pull the rims off and brush and paint them with the POR15 as well. just need to buy some more brushes. i had to reuse dried up crunchy brush on the drivers side caliper.LOL
