[GHOSTRIDER]

Sheepers, if you hear from Rich, tell him I said the tires, NOT THE RIMS, FOR 150.00 CASH ON THE BARREL HEAD, just pay you and put it toward what I owe you.

pressing carrier bearings on


outer pinon bearing wanted to be a butt hole... a press works wonders

well this is taking a rediclously long time. but im still pluggin along.. im gonna get a pressure washer this week and try to get ghostrider strung up and washed off and ready to start strippin parts out from under it.. this is the fun part.

im really glad pete is a cool guy and bearin with me for taking so long. been running wide open at work for a change and making some over time and aint had much time to work on it. ill be real glad to get it done and get pete back to doin what he does best.... replacin tail lights hahahahaha

[WTFOVR]

Not a bad job at all, Sheep. I'm impressed. Don't worry about how long it's taking. Just gives Pete a chance to stock up on tail lights and Bondo!!

[sheepdawg]

[sheepdawg]

okay last saturday i had some free time to get some work banged out on petes bronco.. didnt get much done.. but got me pumped to get more done this weekend... got the whole weekend dedicated to the bronco...

okay done... the lowest truck ever to fit 44s... and man it will float... HHAHAHA not.. but it does make ya think....


im really diggin on the traction bars... i like them.... and yes of course i think this truck grows mud.


got the rear snatched out...


8.8 sittin outside the shop... its retired now...


got the 9 inch bolted in and ready to put back together



i got petes driveshaft at jackson powertrain getting lengthened.. this weekend the goal is to get the pinion angle set... perches and shock tabs welded on. brakes put back together. hopefully driveshaft will be done and put it in and test drive the truck to make sure the gears are right. then turn it around and snatch the front axle out from under it and see what else pete needs to get to put this bad boy together... i cant wait...
