Why the hell are you paying hospital bills if you got hit by the car. Shouldn't the other guys pay that???

to make a long complicated story short... my nephew was getting "kid napped" by his own father who was not supposed to have him because of a protective order (he is now dead from drug overdose) I stood in front of the car to stop them and was ran over the cops didn't even file a report because i stepped in front of the car they gave me a "event number" and told me even though it was technically a hit and run... they would do nothing

so for the news tim best of luck to you and your family. i sent the money out yesterday

[Merritt]

Hope everything turns around for you man!

[Donahue]

i'm telling you, the west coast is where its at. OR has like the second worst economy right now, and welders are still $12-20 an hour. our minimum wage is above $8 i think.

[Tim99Zr2]

yea, i wish i could move out there.. im just too damn poor. haha. i was hoping to find a decent job, that paid relocation.

[crazy91s10]

sorry to hear bout your luck lately man. hope everything turns out fine for your ma and your brother.

[Tim99Zr2]

well the doc said it is cancer for my mom. but they also said its looking good? i dunno how cancer can look good. she is going in for more tests tomorrow.

but at least her health insurance is going to pay her for having cancer, so i THINK she is going to buy my buddies caddie off him. if she does that i think i get her 02' monte carlo for a daily.

also calling about a drive shaft tomorrow.

And sorry to hear about your mom's situation too, thought I typed that but I guess I didn't. Hope everything turns out ok.

[Tim99Zr2]

thanks guys, i dont think its life threatening so she should be ok. she is in the hospital again now.

as for my other truck a friend of a friend may buy it, or its more than likely going to my brother

[Tim99Zr2]

well my brother and i took my drive shaft down to the shop the other day, i needed to get in lengthened 5". hopefully i get it back soon! i wanna go wheeling!

[lowfrankie22]

when are you goin to rausch creek?

[Tim99Zr2]

oh my group pussed out, as usual. they wont even going wheeling around here.

[bubbagt57]

ill go to rausch when my trucks done

[Tim99Zr2]

well i start my other job tomorrow at 6 am but it should get me about 400$ / week plus helping my friend is his shop this past week he is paying me around 200. PLUS my unemployment, which is only 288 bi weekly.

rich? truck parts? hookers? i dunno what to buy!

but i MAY pick up a new steering box, tap it im just going to tap the caps, maybe pick up a 2" bore by 8" ram. MAYBE.

[wrekd]

Hookers FTW..

[Tim99Zr2]

i knooow! i just dont pay for mine.

i like the nail & bail technique... but i got ALOT of girls around here that hate me.

[wrekd]

You gotta keep ya pimp hand strong...Never know when you gonna have to slap a hoe

[Tim99Zr2]

dave, will that ram work good for me? i think it will.

[wrekd]

Probably. You're probably gonna have to limit the travel of the ram though. The 8" stroke will probably be a little too much and the 6" rams probably wouldn't be enough. I think they talk about how to limit the travel of the ram in OOBER's thread on ZR2USA.com. Might wanna check that out.

[wrekd]

Where you getting the ram from??

[Tim99Zr2]

alright, ill have to do that.
so i can get a ram for 145 and a "new" steering box for 90 so i can prob get hydro assist for under 250. then my drag link for 100? right dave?

so 350 for new steering. jesus. haha.

[Tim99Zr2]

prob PSC, i want a good one. and its only 145

[wrekd]

You're gonna need a cooler too. Plus the lines and fittings. So I'd say a little more then $250.

Drag link, probably about $35 for the tubing, $30 for the threaded inserts (by the time you pay the shipping), and about $50 for the TRE's.

Where do you get your metal from??

[Tim99Zr2]

what metal?

yea, im gonna have to search my thread for the TREs again. haha. this is too much of a whore thread.. but we like whores!

[wrekd]

For the DOM tube. My metal place is fvcking rediculous on there metal prices. So I just buy mine online.

I look at it this way, if it has to do with trucks, booze, or whores, no post is useless

[Tim99Zr2]

haha. nice post theory. and i stole my old shit from work.
so ill have to ask my neighbor where he gets his shit. he races late models

[wrekd]

I got mine for like $10 a foot from Ballistic. Theres a guy on Ebay who sells it too for a good price. I was gonna get it from him again but Ballistic had everything I needed so I figured why pay 2 shipping fees.



Heres Ballistics site

http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/

You'll need the 7/8-18tpi tube adapters for the TRE's

Oh yeah, you can get the Pirate4x4 discount by typing in "pirate"

[Tim99Zr2]

ha alright, hopefully i can order them soon. now that i think of it, i can get them locally.

[wrekd]

Lucky bastard I cant get shit around here.

[Tim99Zr2]

[wrekd]

Fvck that. NEPA is better

[Tim99Zr2]

[Tim99Zr2]

fvck my truck.


both axle shafts. ha. either going high end axles or open carrier.
the first one went, pass side. so i beat the cock off it and lost, snapped the driver side got buried and stuck more. my buddy in his SAS dakota came and yanked me out.

at least i got some cool pics?

[wrekd]

NICE!!

Told ya to put some good joints in there. Or did you?? Let me guess, both joints broke and took the ears off the shafts at the same time.

Nice stuck and carnage though.

[JollyGreenMini]

fvck yeah!

[bubbagt57]

sorry for the luck but WOOT on off road pics and the trucks huge

[DieselS10]

Been there and it sucks.

[Tim99Zr2]

the drivers side joint didnt break. pass side did.

[Merritt]

Shitty luck, but the truck looks great!

[wrekd]

So the u-joint held on the drivers side and the shaft broke?? Where did it break??
