Slam Specialty(UPDATE: 7-21-08)

Do I need 1 or 2 spacers for each heim joint?

EDIT: Ballistic fabrication is cheaper, BTW, $3 a spacer and the e-bay one is $3.75 a spacer!

You need 2 per rod end. That eBay add is not what you need. That is a high misalignment spacer, which will make you run a smaller bolt. You want a standard misalignment spacer so that you can still use the tabs you got with the kit.

Ya, okay, good. I just bought 12 of them from BF. Came to under $50! Thats nice. Comparetively to the ebay ad that would have been 2x the amount!

Will have pics of all the goodies I got today, tomorrow! Anyone know where I can get my hands on POR-20? OH, I also got my hand on a ubble hood too! Pretty much minty condition! I also need to get my butt back out there for these 4x4 fenders they had! Ran out of time...

WTF? is it wood? lol

Hahaha, I could'nt stop laughing when you said that!

No, its just an old trick by an old man that I learned from, it really does wonders!

I've seen it on his engine, but i have yet to see how it will make mine look...

So today, I got my NEW CHROME bumper!

I also got my 5/8's Heim spacers, and the eurethane bushing link ends for my 4-link!

I also went to the junkyard today and got 2 good condition 4x4 FENDERS!

I was pretty impressed that the truck I pulled it from was the original! It still was seam sealed!

The junker had 3 4x4 trucks! They had one EXTENDED 4x4 too when I was there on Monday, but today I talked to them and they CRUSHED IT! It still had some REALLY good stuff on it! MAN! I was saaaadd....

OH, I also got a NEW windshield! MAN, words cannot explain how nice a new windshield is!

I really need to get pics up, lol. I will for sure do it tomorrow cause today and yesterday it was raining and I don't want to be out in the lightning, lol!

I'm pretty much bent on doing the ranger headlight conversion tomorrow, and then get my door panels going so I can put my 6 1/2's in!

Does anyone know where to get the turn signal light fixture for the ranger headlight? I had the headlight bulb and all but the turn signal hole was coverd with a sticker!

man i cant wait to see her done it gonna be nice

a wrecking yard or the ford stealership

Bwahaha, stealership, you got that right!

Schucks said they had one actually, but I dunno what it needs, I suppose tomorrow I'll check it out...

BTW, I know I said I would get pics today, but I ran out of light! I was too busy fussing around with the headlight conversion.

I took about an hour dinking around being vervouse cause I thought my wiring was screwed up!

Lol, I just forgot the fact that you have to push the switch in for HI-beam!

Tomorrow, I'll get pics, and then hopefully that will tide over for a while cause I gotta take next week off or so to put in windows for the 'ma!
