No updates. But I got a gopro sick for no reason. Threw it out the window of the tow rig last weekend.

I had a 20 minute window last night so I ran into the garage. Knocked off the OEM perches. Brought the ones I got off Plum to work to get blasted today.
My newborn is getting older quickly. She is starting to get into a night time routine. Once she starts regularly going down at 8pm, I can start getting back into the garage again at night.
My 3 year old asks me often when we can take the "dirty truck" to school. Not for a while buddy...
Maybe I will be able to fasten this thing to the springs this weekend.

Are those 3" perches salvageable?

Are those 3" perches salvageable?

Absolutely. They are back on the shelf.

Wanna trade them for some 2.5"s?

Sure, why not. The 86 has 3" wides?

Bolted my $10 HF manual tire machine to the floor and worked one tire off. Now I know why tire places charge what they charge.
4 more to go.

Jeeze spoiled.... i have to do my tires with a high lift jack and two cut down leaf springs lol



And i want those tires...

 

[PlumCrazy]

I want to see at least two tires mounted and bolted to an axle....just so I can see how redonkulas this rig will be....if I can get set of Rocks to be narrower than these things...I might go that route.lol. Just so it doesn't look like I copy all your builds. Lol

Been working on it for a hour or 2 per night. Just working on the tires.
Dismounted all of the Mounty tires with this Harbor Freight gadget and sold them the next day. I am good at operating this thing now. I need to get the wheels listed for cheap. Or keep them as jack spacers.

I have 2 4D2s mounted now. I have 25 PSI in them. They are certainly bubbly but it is just temporary so I can take measurements. That reminds me, I need to get lug nuts...
15 wide on a stock 17" 7-3/4 wide SD wheel.

EDIT: Lug buts ordered

Going on a mini vacation Friday through Sunday so I have to pack the kids tonight and get the dually ready for the trip. Hopefully I can weld some perches on this Sunday night and get this axle under the leaves.
