Right but if they put thousands of them in these things and still use them they can't be that awful. Most people I've heard say they're strong, just don't be in a hurry.

 

I guess. Wouldn't be my first choice but I guess you're stuck with it.

I need 20' of 1.5x.25 but not for $7.40 a foot.

 

Get in touch with Stump. His steel supplier seems to be far cheaper than I can get the stuff locally. WTF do you need with 20' of that? Upper links?

 

He steals it?

Steering, track bar, and an upper. Don't need all 20', but that's a full stick.

 

Ah. Makes sense.

 

Got the rear hung with brakes and everything installed. Just need a yoke for the driveshaft.

 

That's the easy part...

 

I know. That's why I did it first. I'm waiting on coil mounts from ballistic. Plus I need to finish shaving the driver side front.

 

I'm not entirely sure this free 14 bolt is worth it. I wish this thing wasn't in the middle of a feild.

 

Borrow a small torch and just dice up the springs and driveshaft. Bam. 15 minutes.

 

i sawzall wd all that ****, I couldn't find the gauges for the torches. The lug nuts were the worst of it, oh and the truck falling, the truck falling sucked too.

 

Anyone want to buy my j-truck full widths and wheels/tires? Starting my one tons and need $$

 

We all need money! Lol

I called ballistic today. Finally got ahold of someone, they're supposedly having phone issues. He said my order was being processed and should go out today no later than tomorrow. I said well that's great and all but someone told me that last week too and I wouldn't be calling if I had received it. He apologized and said he would talk to his guys (name is John, the sales manager/ sup) and personally ship it out today for me. Offered to give me his contact info and he refunded my shipping on it. Hopefully I'll get it soon and all will be well.

Waiting on rock rings and PVC inserts for tires I don't have yet.

Front axle should be shaved and ready by the time the brackets get here. A contractor at work offered to help me build and weld a truss on the front. I wasn't going to but after realizing how much of the cast I'm taking away, I'll spend a day making one for the piece of mind. He is a good ol Cajun boy and a hell of a fabricator so between the two of us it should turn out pretty well I hope...

 

Ballistic is pretty known for their super slow shipping. I've ordered from them once and got my parts within 3 days. They weren't fabbed parts, though.

 

These aren't fabbed either. It's just hit or miss.
