Drove to the show yesterday... wow... 3500 for 70mph... that is something to work on..

anyways... washed it today.. need to flip the lower ball joints .. they were flipped when I got the truck.. I thought I would try without it.. crossmember is off just a fudge... but here you go..

You sir, have a PM. Only one compressor and two brackets left. They do by chance have an '82 Mazda there. Feel free to PM me for info. Sorry for threadjacking, Brat! Just saw u and another guy in need of parts that I know where to get.

Not a problem happy to see people helping people.. my other hobby is android phones... and lets just say.. sometimes its "not so friendly..." if you don't have the cash for the latest and greatest then your wasting your time etc...

OK, feeling better.. got home from work... took an hour and flipped the lower ball joints back.. so the front lays totally flat now.. took my shock measurement... its 9-1/2 " compressed.. so it looks like D21's for me... maybe tomorrow..

pic of it flat... only a 1/4-1/2" difference.. but its the principal right?

Threw the shocks on today and drove it to the movies. My 8 yr old and I saw real steel.. i am ready to ditch this mini and build a rock em sock em robot now.. lol..

Truck does ride pretty great now. Just need to put in the heater controls from Jrock.. then some weld up some holes and put some sounddeadening in it.... it is very loud. then starts on the bed repairs..

Thanks again.. Hah... actually you would probably have better luck finding a picture from about 12 yrs ago of her at minitruck nationals in pigeon forge flashing the crowd from the back of a body dropped toyota.. (we were just starting to date back then..)
she hates my truck.. until I can fix the exhaust, tone down the road noise I am not about to ask her to ride in it... or let me take a picture of her in it.. she has reluctantly agreed to allow my boys to ride in it.. my youngest loves it.. oldest doesn't care one way or the other..
