[pELYgroso]

[iamsparticus]

yeah right pELYgroso dream on trading a ARB axle for a detroit one is like trading your Lotus elise for a miatia hhahahhahaha

 

[pELYgroso]

....how 'bout if I throw in a 1st gen grill w/ my axle!!!!

 

[iamsparticus]

Well if you have a lotus elise then it's a deal ahhaha those are my favorite cars, fast and sexy

[Marsh99]

No, I still have it for him, my fault. Sorry Brandon, work has had me tied up for the last three weeks. I hope to have some time to get it put together for you this Sunday? If you still want to buy it? Thanks, John

[Marsh99]

I have my heater running now found a bad relay. When it does work now it super hot air.

 

[iamsparticus]

Yes a heater is a plus

 

[Marsh99]

front bump stops are on

Such a rad first gen, I like how you've made your shackles, u bolt plates, spring/shackle mounts. Very cool. Your build makes me wanna pull my bed off and do some rust repair on the frame and cab. And get a permanent coat of paint down... If only it was 70 degrees haha

 

[Marsh99]

cleaning up my ifs axle to put under my truck and cut off spring pads of with my plasma made really easy.

I was impressed on how clean it cuts

 

[sixstringsteve]

nice work! I'm going to have to borrow that plasma sometime.
