haha awwww
Last night when I pulled in the parking lot at work it started making noises. I've never heard it make any noises from inside the cab. But it wasn't just the "normal" locker noises. It was pops, bangs, and ratcheting that made people in the shop 100 yards away come outside and look to see what was going on. It also felt like it was binding up. Kind of like the parking brake was on (it wasn't). It slowed down for a moment then lunged forward throwing the back end of my truck a few feet to the right. I let it sit for 12 hours while I was at work and it was fine on the way home but it wasn't locking up like it should. May just be the springs but I don't know what caused all the binding, etc. If it does it anymore I'll pull it and look at it. Well I'll probably just take it out actually.
Posting this here for inspiration...

Don't ruin my quarter life crisis!
Nah I know it will never look like that but its still inspirational.
Well maybe you will inspire 'someone' to build one like it!!!Either that or pick up some of that fence pipe someone posted here before!
It doesn't help that my dad is completely supportive of it. I tell him everything I want to do to it expecting him to say "That's fucking stupid, why would you waste your money on that?" Instead he says "Why don't you? It's just money. If you're going to build it, build it like you want it." Guess I'll just have to start telling my mom. She'll tell me how stupid I am.

By the looks of things around here, I don't think you have to go to your mom for that!!!![]()
10 pages of waiting on an engine.
After the engine what is the next step?
Tires to use temporarily while I build a front axle.
It sucks you can't run 35s right now. There are quite a few sets on CL for not much money.

And you wanted to sell me your locker. You can't fool me like you can Colin![]()
This happened after I tried to sell it to you. Its still acting up but isn't near as bad as it was for those few days.
So, I'll give ya $25 for it!
