  1. do you have a link for this kit?

    ive been wanting about upgrading my lights, i might have to look into this. otherwise im just gonna go ahead and start from scratch to converting to E-code lighting with H4 bulbs, heavy gauge wire realays and the hardbody grille. i do pleanty of night driving and i hate the dismal lighting i have. my moms sentra low beam setting covers nearly the same area as my high beam setting.

  2. the ammonia medthod is one of the easiest ive tried. it sofents the polyester and peals right off. a shop is prolly gonna charge any where from 20 to 50 bucks to take it off. if you got nothing else to do on a saturday you could save your self some money and do it your self. heres a site just for tinting http://www.tintdude.com/ but lurker pretty much showed the easiest way.

  3. moog sells bushing for the whole truck if i remember, they use some sort of hard rubber plastic combination.

  4. i guess it all depends on how much money you are willing to spend. i see some waggy d44s put on, mostly leafs cause of ease, and a few coil setup datz510 has a early bronco front axle and coil setup that is very nice. never seen any rockwells under pathys yet. as for power, 350s. cause there are so many, can be had cheap and lots and lots of aftermarket. but in the end its money and how much that does the dealing,

  5. well i have a lift but its a bodylift, my tbars are cranked all the way which i guess could be the problem. balljoints are pretty strait forward so i dont think i could have put them in wrong. maybe i should let the tbars down some. but i still dont see why they should be eating them so fast.

  6. pssd ive already replace 2 sets of balljoint boots, and they keep craking and letting dirt in. does any one know where i can get better boots? the only ones i can find around here is those cheap arse replacement ones that are thin rubber. any ideas? :shrug:

  7. ive got some Deulers that i paid 180 for total from a friend of a friend. there was nothing wrong with them and they looked brand new. i havent had a chance to wheel them hard, but they are pretty nice, and handle really well on the road dry or wet. the only prob was that i had to switch down to 15s from 17 rims.

  8. i went to cali last summer, and the LA freeway sucks. like a damn washboard. other than that i thought it was great, makes me wanna move out there with a relative in west covina. but then i look at the gas prices and then my wallet. ill just stay a little longer and marinate in the houston heat.

  9. 2.56 the cheapest ive seen. last week 95.5 the buzz was promoting a new gas station and the were selling gas for 94.5 cents !!. i wish i could have gotten gas then! but i had to work,

    Damn 94.5 cents??? Geez, I was stoked with $1.98... :(

    lol hell thats still better than the prices around me. im going to die next week. thats when i start school. imma be shafted then!

  11. UPDATE: On May 3, 1998.. Japanese racing star Tetsuya Ota was involved in achain reaction collision during a GT championship race. Ota was trapped in his car for more than 50 seconds while exposed to 800-degree temperatures. There was no safety crew coming to the rescue as fellow drivers frantically extinguished the flames. The result ended with serious burns to Ota and a lawsuit against track promoters and sponsors. Agreed upon event requirements called for safety crews to rescue a driver and extinguish any fire within 30 seconds or less. Ota signed papers claiming he would not seek damages from event organizers as is typical in some venue use agreements. In a District Court ruling, the hold harmless paperwork was thrown out and Ota was awarded 90 million ($809,352) Yen. Changes in the sport now include a "doctor car" and some fire engines standing by for such an emergency. The court also ruled that Ota could have slowed his vehicle quicker thus a reduction from the originally requested 300 million ($2,697,841) Yen.

     

    thats what i based it on

    i wish i had one :sniff: , id have so many tickets if i had one tho. i guess its better that i didnt lol

  13. well there nothing as of yet, so far im just trying to make my mark in this world. right now i work in a metal laser cutting shop, only profile cutting mostly 304L, 316L, and A36 carbon steel. sometimes we get different materials, egiloy, aluminum, neoprene and some plastic. the machine is supposed to cut 1" material without problems but that would be hard to see it do that. it has a hard enough time cutting 3/8" 304L. ive been pick up little things here and there. yesterday i watched the so called "laser operator" change the focal position way to much. then watched him struggle to figure out why it was spewing liquid 316 on the top of the plate. i told him what he did wrong but the as usual he didnt think that i was right till he reset the parameters to stock and saw the focal position go from 4.35 mm to 2.4mm stock. right now im waiting on the Pullmax guy to come back and finish the 440 ton brake and teach me how to run it. then i gotta ride the boss for a raise. i can get a new copy of that cd any time, my pops has his connections. hes a machinist too. for the last 10years hes been running CNC machines, making all sorts of crap. lately he has been cutting exotic tough material that i cant remember the name of. apperently hes gotta change tools every two runs. eventualy ill get a new computer and teach my self. but lately i do quality control , clean of the parts and shop, shipping and receving, and any misc job to be done.

  14. I agree Vengeful... SolidWorks is the most straight forward, intuitive CAD I have ever used. I drew a part my first day that I never figured out in 3 weeks with AutoCAD. While I never really got the hang of AC (self learner) it is a powerful tool in the hands of a guru !! Oops, I forgot Mechanical Desktop, although it is very AC like... What is it you do that you know CAD so well ?

     

    *snort* show off...

     

    Showing off the skill I have in a trade I have labored in for almost 15 years ? Yeah, then I guess it is showing off, but it weren't easy getting here Bud... ;)

     

    B

    lol im just messing with you Precise :P

     

    i had solid works till some one broke the CD for it, i never got to use it either. my computer was a tad bit too crappy to run it. i had used autocad for a year but never got to the 3D rendering and wireframes. but for what we run at work i wouldnt need to know it, that is if he ever let me do drawings. they use some corp mod version of autocad called bypart. but its all the same.
