I like the montaige of the hack, cut, grind, weld smiles


Sorry no burnouts on my lawn. It took me all summer to get it looking that good so uh there will be none of that.
Kinda funny how the lawn finally looks good and now fall is here and the grass isn't growing much anymore due to the colder weather.

Basically they are new polly mounts with a 1/4in spacer on top then a hockey puck.

Who says White Men can't MUD?

Awesome 305. All you need are some BOGGERS! I'd MUD with ya anytime!

Manny...

Well unfortunately yes...



But that is only because those old hockey pucks held up a very long time and there is no such thing as a 2 1/4 inch body lift, so I pieced one together.

Believe me the last thing I wanted to put back in my truck were those hockey pucks. It really pissed me off when I found out that they made up the body lift the PO put on there. But the 3" lift blocks where way too big to put in there becuase of clutch linkage interferance and I had to get the body remounted on the frame.

So in short, yes there are hockey pucks on there, but do I like them no. When I find the time and the correct solution then I will remove my mickey mousing of a body lift.

Well I think i need to get rid of my 10b rear first.

But it has survived a long time locked with 35" tires, and I don't know the definition of a light foot.
I did break it about 1 month ago doing a brake stand on dry pavement, I guess it was a little too much for it.


Anyway if only we were closer, we could tear up some nice lawns together.

Ya well I wouldn't have minded much if I didn't come home from my vacation in New Hampshire to find that he blew me off. I only had 1 day to get the truck to him while I was on vacation, and he blew me off.

But I don't care, I threw a house party instead.
