I like your train of thought H3! I guess I am Nah it'll at least be after my birthday in June before it's gone lol.

I worked on the alignment today, you know, the one that no shop wanted to do because they "needed" shims (BS!!)

Before:




After:




Ya, so no shop would listen to me that you just need to take shims out, well look who was right!

[etlsport]

yah the shims can be a pita. having to add them is worse unless u get factory shims, all the aftermarket ones are missing the little tabs to help get them in, so i had to use really tiny needle nose pliers to get my shims in. also threw a wee bit of rubber cement between them to kinda help them stick together while being put in

[RamAirZ]

I just took them out. The shops were telling me they needed to ADD shims to my current setup and that they didn't have any, as you can tell from the before picture, adding shims would have made the tire lean worse. They couldn't comprehend that they needed to remove all/some of my current shims to set it. After them telling me I was wrong and that they didn't need to remove any and that they needed to add more, I said screw it, I'll do it myself lol

[etlsport]

nice.. i had the luxury of a shop with an alignment rack, so made my life a bit easier to play with the shims to get it exactly right.. dead center in every category. I'm just glad camber and caster dont change much from daily driving so i dont have to do it again

I will say at my shop we tend to shy away from modified vehicles for warranty reasons, it has to be right time and right customer for us to get involved with a lifted/lowered vehicle

[RamAirZ]

Ya I completely understand that, I told the guy that if he didn't want to do it to just tell me, don't give me a much of BS reasons that I can prove wrong. Had the shop that did my VX tell me that they don't mess with shims and then I told them well you did my VX and it's the same thing! It's just a trail rig and I used a level and some string and got it pretty damn close so I'm happy, saved me money too.

Where's the camaro Dallas?.......did I miss you selling that too???

[RamAirZ]

lol ya I traded it to a guy for the Sierra.

[VX KAT]

lol ya I traded it to a guy for the Sierra.

lemme get this straight...Mr. "RAM AIR Z" traded his Camaro for a 2WD Sierra?
just when you think you know someone...sheesh.....

[RamAirZ]

Lol its a better tow/family rig than the camaro, worth a lot more too. Don't worry, ill have another camaro soon

My wife is amazing:



140amp mig welder, comes with mig wire, flux wire, hook up and gauges for running gas, and will weld 5/16" steel! From most of my research, one of the best you can get without going up to 220. I doubt I'll ever need anything bigger, 5/16 is pretty thick, trail-gear sliders and frame plates are 3/16, and pretty sure that's what ARB bumpers are made out of too.

[etlsport]

very cool.. Sounds like a nice welder, mine is similar with what it comes with and the gas/gaseless hookups but a bit smaller I guess, will only do 1/4" which is still plenty for me

you know between the photos you posted and now telling us she got you a welder on a whim, youre gonna have to be careful about bringing your wife to maob or someones gonna try to steal her away!

[RamAirZ]

LOL it wasn't on a whim, early Fathers Day/Birthday gift. She wanted to get it without me knowing but she knew she didnt know much about them so she let me pick it out. And ya 1/4" is still thick. And she wouldn't come to Moab, she'd probably go see her dad while I have fun lol

[off_road_4_me]

well, its cute.
