VERY NICE!!! I just read the entire thread! Great job! Crazy how addicting these cruisers can be. If your ever in the Montana area look me up i'd love to see your rig and go wheelin somewhere. Keep it up man!

Thanks man! I definitely want to do a cross country trip, so when I do, I'll make sure to look you up.
Exactly why I did it man. My GF loves riding shotgun but she needed something to help her get in. This should do the trick
ANYONE have ANY experience with the heckethorn shocks? These are the cheapest ones I can find, I just can't find anyone who runs them.
i found skyjacker nitros on ebay under the skyjacker outlet. Says they are blemished i.e. scratch and dent but when i got them they looked great they were the n8060 and the n8079 seems to ride good with them. THey are nitr charged and take up the slack of the soa. Cant remember the price but i know they were dirt cheap.
Good luck

I am running Pro Comp ES9000 shocks...Best shocks on the market? No. Cheap with a wide range of sizes at summitracing? Yes.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I couldn't find anything! I'm no expert at ebay but finding shocks listed with compressed and extended lengths was a pain.
Thanks a lot, I'm ordering them right now! $90 for 2 shocks shipped to my door. Can't beat that!

This week's update:
Got the shocks installed. Makes the ride a bit better
Had to cut the tailpipe off in order to fit the shock on. Got a little deeper exhaust note now 
Got pulled over the other night. Turns out that my rear harness connector had corroded off a couple of wires, so I had to figure that out today. A couple of weatherproof connectors later, problem fixed. Taking it to get inspected this week!!

On the way there
Still following this.
Just get the exhaust re-routed so it doesn't hit your shock. I think when I had them do that it was less than $100.
Good build.
Rubithon 2010? I can recommend the wagon run.

Thanks for the kind words man! I really want to make a trip out west one of these years, but my class schedule really gets in the way and when that doesn't, the lack of money in my bank account does
Where do I find info on the Rubithon? I'll take a look at the timing and see if I can do it.As for the exhaust, I cut it off right after the muffler. You can see the end in the picture I posted. I plan on making / buying a little turndown to come out the side like Cruisin'FJ60 did on his, but my $$ situation is not conducive to having a shop do it. I saved my tailpipe so I'll probably use it to make a turndown myself.
Well.......
when you do decide to head west young man, you have a place to stop in Utah ( November - May) or if you really get that wild hair...............Alaska (May - October)
My wife also has a hard time getting in.....I built her a little step that clips on and off my rock slider.
So.........did you pass? (inspection)

I'll let you know if I pass tomorrow morning. My appointment is scheduled for 7:30. I don't think they will find anything to fail me on, but we will see.

Just to bring this up again, I keep watching the videos Mike has been posting up in his build thread and they are incredible. I checked to see how long it would take me to get there. 2800 miles from my house. Piece of cake!

Thank you! Hopefully moonshine won't have any issues.
When I took the 62 in for my emissions test, I had to sit and painfully watch the tester drive my baby on the treadmill like it was a porsche
. In NY, they don't care about the rust? Good luck bud!

Thanks man. Fortunately they do not care about rust unless it compromises the frame.
Drove up to the station today. First thing the guy said to me, without looking at the truck, is "That thing won't pass." Why? The exhaust is too loud in his opinion. In addition to that, the PS rear marker light is broken, which needs to be fixed. Hopefully I'll have time in between my finals to get it done tomorrow.

Just went to every parts store within 15 miles. No one has a side marker light such as those in this thread.

Can someone from your local club 'loan' a marker till you pass? Then you can order it from somewhere later.

At school, my cruiser resources are limited to Kevin Rowland and I bug him too much already,
I'm gonna try to hit up a junkyard tomorrow but if I can't do that, I may have to give him a call. We shall see.
