1062931 joopin, The shackles look strong. If you grease them up with plenty of silicone grease when you install them, which should be sufficient. bluebelle doesn’t have greaseables. A matter of choice. Any thought of doing a reversal shackle kit? blue [addsig]

1062935 joopin, Excellent. Did you design? Nice welds. What set-up did you use, Argon? I'm working on one for belle that will cover the entire back, much like the 'lids' you see on pu trucks - pneumatic lifts and all. Nice to see things being made. Nothing like it. You're a lucky guy. The...

1062936 So, when you're in fifth, your engine can't generate enough power to drive?[addsig]

1062940 joopin, Certainly, reversing the front shackle for the back on the front axle. It requires welding a mount for the stationary point of the front leaf pack on the nose of the frame and drilling mounting holes for the rear mount for the leaf - the shackle end. It makes perfect sense...

1062942 Great work, man - be proud. It's easy to give 'em your credit card number and wait for ups. Making someting just is plain cool. Access to argon? MIG too??? Ahhhh, the power of tools. high five. 8-) blue[addsig]

1062944 carriss, Good question. Why did you ask? Are you modifying your system? Do you have a steel or plastic tank? If you have to route your exhaust by your tank, you're probably concerned about that area on the passenger side of the rig for the rear pipe, correct? Or, are you thinking...

1063597 Hurculiner was excellent, easy to apply, looks great; recommend it. Should be a stock option. blue[addsig]

1063598 actually missed you guys and reading/replying about our rigs. addicted, apparently :-O blue[addsig]

1063599 Does it always sputter every time you're up to 2500? What about in other gears? When you rebuilt the motor, what was the condition of the cyls? Any excessive carbon build-up in some? Or, have you discovered what it was? blue[addsig]

1063604 Nate - good to hear from you. Sorry 'bout those rims. They're just sitting in my garage. . . :-( [addsig]

1063605 Get a shroud. It funnels airflow to the fan and prevents the blades from picking-up 'stray' air from the sides of the engine bay - forcing the air to go through the radiator. A shroud would make a substantial difference. Install an electric fan. (It's like I get a comission on these...

1063606 Hey . . . this sounds interesting. What lights were you thinking of using? Stock lights? Or something way cool?? blue[addsig]

1063609 Nice to see positive, team-oriented conversation! What say we eliminate our post numbers, titles and just get down to troubleshooting, helping each other, and - most importantly - enjoying ourselves?? You guys are great (no gender specifics here, ladies) and perhaps we all spend a...

1063610 Egads! Bowl time. . . what an image :-O Appreciate your pointing me in the right direction. How do I get this rag? blue[addsig]

1063611 Had to tow poor, abandoned, abused bluebelle home. And then listen to my lovely bride go on and on about, 'What's wrong with you, baby???" Now, both babes are just happy as all get out. People who don't like these rigs (see Tug's eloquent description above) simply haven't had the...

1063614 Illegal in sunny Florida - any blinking lights, that is, that aren't used for signlaing. You could have been signaling the importance of the holidays. Riding around in your rig in a Santa suit. That's pretty cool. Cops here are nothing like Jersey State Troopers. Yikes :-O blue...

1063615 You did an excellent job, Nate. Man that's nice. Wish I knew how to do that. blue[addsig]

1063844 Ah, Johnson City, Bristol and Kingsport - the tri city area. Wasn't Johnson City a stopping point/hideaway for Al Capone? Or so I've been told. Didn't Al have a pet elephant? blue[addsig]

1063845 Cool, but does she drive a Jeep? blue[addsig]

1063846 Which brings up a good question. Where can one find hooks with the original bolt pattern? Those two-holed hooks at WalMart and from ProComp aren't the correct size requiring drilling. :-( blue[addsig]
