Almost Ready For The Road!!

[alientravler]

Finished the exhaust today. Just need tires and a tag and Im on the road!!

[breadbox]

That exhaust is awesome. Very sick.

[PEZi]

haha... sweet exhaust man!

[flinterman2000]

Really cool, but you should turn the flap 180 degrees. The force of the wind will keep the flap open when you stop.

[alientravler]

Yep!! I do beleive that you are right!! I'll turn it around before I hit the road!

[flinterman2000]

Love the way your glass looks like blue tint. Need to see a photo of the interior.

[jtbenfie]

[alientravler]

OK...Changed the "flapper" 180 degree's and added a "Lucky Charm"(Hope, Hope!) shifter knob!!

Love the shifter knob please explain how you did it. What size bit and tap?

[alientravler]

I used a drill bit just a mm or so smaller in diameter than the threaded area on the shifter...drilled down into the knob (7-ball). Then I brought the drill bit back out and opened up the hole just enough to set the ball on the shaft then very carefully forced it on the threaded part of the shaft by turning it (Brute Force) LoLs Anyway its very solid and shows no signs of looseing up. The threads on the shaft are capiable of cutting their own threads on soft material.

BTW: Leather gloves will help to keep the knob from slipping in your hand.

wow, that beast has some serious lift! I have 31's on mine, and my front bumper is at least 3-4" lower. I could use more lift, since my tires rub the cab. A stinkin kit for suspension lift? I could only fins one and it was 450 smackers. ouch. alot for a 100$ truck yo

[alientravler]

I cranked up my torsion bars!! Not recommended, but works as you can see. It REALLY rides like a truck!! I will figure out how to lift it by making my own lift blocks in the near future as I will not pay the BS amount of money they want to charge for already made kitsl! Took her out the other day and no scrubbing with the tires even doing a donut.

[pejsa s-13]

where did you get those flares?

[alientravler]

Sorry Bro...They were

where did you get those flares?

on it when I bought her. They are the "no-drill type" my guess is that they were bought in the 80s. They may still be available through companys that sell them.
