Beautiful work Mike! You have some awesome toys at your disposal....machine tools are fun to operate! Kudos on your skill set and creativity.... And attention to detail!

Thanks!  The machine tools are fun when they're working as expected....otherwise, they can get pretty frustrating!! lol

Finally....all 4 arms are cut.  The lower left is still a 1/2" too long, but I cut it to length right after taking the pic.

HI Mike- all this is over my head but I am in awe anyway. I had no idea Mend would start you off on such an extensive R&D. Very cool!!  (For those of you new to this thread I am the former Mend owner.)

[mklotz70]

Howdy Brian!!!!  It's awesome to see you pop up here again!  I've been wondering if you've been around. :)

 

I should have just put the front discs on and driven her for these last 4? years!  I'm hoping this will be the year I make some progress on her. :)

Hey Mike it's Ean. I'm blown away by your work! This thread has been a joy to read, I hope I can apply some of what I've learned towards my L320.

[mklotz70]

Thanks Ean!  Have you seen my NL320 thread?  More of that will probably relate to your truck. :)

Holy F*ck! No wonder I don't post much to Ratsun anymore.......trying to use the image link from photobucket and it says I can use that extension on this community.  

 

I'm guessing something changed?

Copy the IMG link and paste it straight in to the reply box, don't use the add image button.

It just wasn't working right at the time.  I've got at least 6000 pics posted from PB onto ratsun....it's one of the few times it just didn't work.  Works fine now and I'm doing the same thing.  Oh well. lol

It took that image, now it doesn't want to take the next.

Doesn't seem to like the links to the vids.

Doesn't seem to like the mp4 file type.

 

I guess it's for the best any way......the vids look great everywhere else, but PB seems to have turned the quality to crap.  I used to swear by PB, but since they changed things up a few years ago, they've been nothing but a PITA.

[slodat]

Yeah! Looking good, Mike!

[Lockleaf]

Good looking run of parts. And I agree PB is a PITA now.

BHs, can't wait to see a pair of those at my front door!

C'mon Man!

I just use youtube for videos now. 

 

That shock video is quite educational :D

Not sure I want to go through the grief of trying to get the IG vids to youtube....bad enough getting them to PB.

Trying not to go to IG for the same reason :lol:
