stack them dimes son, stack them dimes



remember tho, the weld can be ugly as shit, as long as it penetrates and holds, your good to go


grinders can fix the lumps

sight has been lost, I been contemplating ditching it and find something my wife and 2 kids can all fit in
the way it looks right now its going to sit outside all winter covered in snow, then next year I'll be moving and buying a house, new job I'm sure I won't have time for it
I know I'll never get my money back even though I haven't spent a whole lot on it in total
2200 for the hunk, 640 at summit, 240 ruffstuff, a battery and starter then little shit .. I guess 3200-3400 range
if i suck the guys dick i might get 2800 out of it and all the parts if im lucky, might have to toss in a reach around even

Bronco/blazer/scout/xj/tj/cj/zj/fj all great family platforms I'm just not a huge fan of jeeps, but u can boot one together no fab required

I'd never find a bronco blazer or scout here in a million years.
I love xj's, zj's almost as much, but unibodys are hard to come by here that aren't a bucket of rust.
That's what I really want though, xj's are badass.

get one shipped?

where are u located? some where in canadia right?


theres broncos all over but they are more expensive

too much $ involved in that

where are u located, (pm me)

ur zip and I can find you a bronco at least local



also, if ur not gunna use the truck, part it out, you will make more off it like that than running

I just listed it all a few minutes ago actually haha
fredericton new brunswick, there are no broncos here I promise you

I had great intentions this weekend of fixing a bunch of little problems that were keeping the truck from driving well. I tore the back of the 205 apart to address some leaks and build some bracketry for the parking brake. Then it started pouring! Apparently no one told the weather it was still summerish? So I got a bracket built and sought shelter in the garage




Trying not to let the weather get me down I started re-assembling my bead locks with all new hardware. After talking to Trail Ready, its imperative that the bead lock ring touches the rim face when the bolts are torqued. Mine didn't and this was likely the cause of my recent tire/rim separation issues. So they sell these dense plastic spacers to fill the gap in the event you have one. So I cleaned the rims, replaced the all the valve stem air filler situations (technical term) and re-assembled with new hardware and the spacers. Putting bead locks together is a bitch BTW! After many rounds of torqueing to 15 and then 20, the hardware was in place, I flipped the rim over and used some green thread lock (wicking grade) on the nuts just for a little security. Then set the bead with a little air and boom, had 2 tires done in about 2 hours.




My lower back was killing me from being hunched over on the tires and the rain had let up so I put the 205 back together and drove it around a bit since it had been sitting a couple weeks.

I didn't finish the parking brake but its closer and I've got a plan in my head of how to get the cables hooked up.

My "finally ready to wheel the 60 to do list"
- Remove upper link, cut off one weld on bung and weld in a new, making the link about an inch shorter (it's currently as short as I can make it and I need a touch more caster).
- Check toe again
- double-cardan front driveshaft. It sucks but the new one I had made binds at about 5" of droop, with the 205 clocked up and the lift height I ended up with it's gonna need a DC shaft
- Hydro assist steering. I might do a Hollister or something "lighter" without it but I have trouble turning into driveways on the street so hyrdo assist is going to be a must.
- Remove coils, mount tires and cycle suspension while steering left to right and cut shit that gets in the way as necessary.
- Mount 2 more bead locks.

for the love of god stop doing all these rice mods.
