Project - Not so Nice

[erymer]

Holy crap those are smoking deals... just nothing in a set of 4 for the right size for me.

I have the same problem Al. I keep checking but nothing ever in what I need. That or I am just too slow with my clicker finger.

Tires

Just ordered 5 Iroks - 36x13.5x15 bias for 900 shipped...couldn't pass that up! They are new but are cosmetic blems. I would've gotten the pit bulls but they were like 375 a tire

Might order beadlocks now that I saved on tires

Holy s*** that's a good deal. That's better than what I got for my pits.

What beadlocks are you going to / thinking of ordering?

I was thinking TR's in 15x8 but might hold off and spend that money on other stuff...

What's the word on running beadlocks on the street here in NC? Are the police sticklers for that sort of thing?

Got the tub pulled yesterday evening. Get's dropped off at the media blaster tomorrow morning.

Also had a chance to clean up the frame and drive-train this afternoon. Degreaser and a power washer can work wonders. Next up - wire wheel and POR15.

Guess your not needing my help no more from the looks of it.

So this thing had some sort of coil-over shocks with leaf springs? Interesting.

Hey Jon, how did you get the order made. I've been trying for 2 days to order a tire from them and it's like pulling teeth via email. I've never had such a hard time spending money. Is there a trick or something I am missing?

 

[lt1fire]

Send me all your money and I will take care of it.

Got a peek at the tub today. turned out niiiiice

 

[S4Cruiser]

Tub did turn out good with just a couple areas that will need patching...also picked up the front third with arb from ECGS yesterday.

 

[S4Cruiser]

To cut or not??

Thoughts on my first line?

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Jon, can i make a recomendation. I followed the factory lines when i made my cuts on Hooptie. I traced them out and then just transfered them and then cut.

Looking good though man.
