Washed it waxed it now I'm ready for early morning take off to Arlington Texas for the power tour!

THE BOSS · 05-29-2013, 07:13 PM

went in the dunes for the first time ever with the 72, snapped the u-joint at the left front wheel, broke both the short and long end of the axle.

I'd say i had fun in my truck!

74baggedbug · 05-29-2013, 07:41 PM

Installed new helper bags for the rear end and had a shop swap out a cracked power steering pump pulley

only does it when slowing down. while driving in stop and go traffic, kinda sounds like a loose wheel , never does it when taking off, driving down the road, will do it only slowing down smooth road, rough road, in gear , in nutrual .

anybody got any ideas on this....

Did you end up deciding to keep your truck?

Lol. I can just see how that conversation went with the wife, and how it'll go later:

Her: we need to sell the truck. We need the money

You: (after much worry and stress) ok

You: Honey, I need to spend some money. Actually, quite a bit of money getting some stuff fixed on the truck before I sell it.

Her: let me get this straight. We decided to sell the truck because we need the money, and you're spending MORE money on the truck?

You: Just trust me

Her: Whatever.

You two weeks later: Honey, I can't sell this truck now. It runs too damn nice, and looks so shiny and perfect.

Her: I'll be at my mother's

Lol. Anyway, yeah. Things are going well on my truck. I've been doing lots of the little naggy things. Feels good to get them done

Mr.-B you are a very wise man....one day grasshopper i will let you in on a few more secrets on this subject....lol

solarnick · 05-30-2013, 05:45 AM

Finally got my Porterbuilt front and rear basic kits from Nate. I ordered from Travis at ProPerformance who has been awesome to deal with. The order was placed on February 28th. Yes it took 3 months to get my parts. Nate is definitely backed up. By the look of things, it'll be worth the wait.

Thanks Nate and especially Travis!
