Wife called and said the Fed Ex man dropped off a heavy box of stuff from 4x4 Labs.

Can't wait to get home.

Your 45 is coming right along Dan.

I hope you cut and turned your axle when you did the spring over...

On a 60 frame running 60 series axles?

I did not, but will probably regret it later.

Once it is all together and the weight settles the springs down a bit I will be adding some shims.

I've heard that a SOA settles quite a bit after they are run for awhile.

4x4 Labs stuff is on the right.

A Stock arm that has a Tube sleeve is on the left.

Most everybody knows how big theses fuel cans are.

No wiggling at all to get them in this position.

greenhorn311 · 11-30-07, 10:52 PM

We should have an official means of measuring but not fuel cans.........beer cans everone knows how tall a beer can is how many beer cans can you get under it Dan?? I would guess that about sixs cans tall lol

D'Animal · 12-12-07, 09:55 AM

I actually taught a tree felling seminar to 5 guys.

We had 28 trees to cut down. Only 5 of them were on the nude beach. The rest were in the common area.
