mklotz70 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Must have been some kind of glitch. I've had issues on their site before. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 It looks like the domain for proshocks.com is or was up for sale. This happens when the domain is not paid for . 1 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Would that bolt right up to stock kingpin setup? 1 Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Damn Mike you make me want to get my old 521 back just so I can get these! 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Would that bolt right up to stock kingpin setup? Yes. It replaces the kingpins. Uses stock frame and torsion bars. 3 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Damn Mike you make me want to get my old 521 back just so I can get these! Your old 521 got a custom 5 lug setup I designed and made the brackets for. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Yes. It replaces the kingpins. Uses stock frame and torsion bars. I think he means the shock :) 1 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yes lol Would those coilovers bolt up to stock location of shocks and keeping kingpin setup? 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Yes lol Would those coilovers bolt up to stock location of shocks and keeping kingpin setup? oh....pretty much. You'd have to cut the bumpstops off the frame and should probably reinforce the shock tower, but I think they'll probably fit. 3 Quote Link to comment
LTJ Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 This is a big thread! Looking forward to seeing more progress on Mend, awesome work on the suspension and brakes too! 2 Quote Link to comment

Please do an actual progress update on Mend soon we need pictures of Mend. LOL Come on! This thread pops up, gets me excited, and no new pics??? This is a tease! LOL! You can blame LTJ for bringing this back up! I've actually been talking to my wife about Mend. I'll be talking to my buddy about her too the next time I see him....which may be tomorrow. Things are really busy in the shop and progress has been slow. I'm still hoping to get some work done on her before the bad weather kicks in again. 5 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Mike just build on to your shop so you can work on mend in the bad weather also. No excuses! LOL 3 Quote Link to comment
2wheel-lee Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm still hoping to get some work done on her before the bad weather kicks in again. Bad weather? What's that? Do you mean below 70 degrees or above 110? Otherwise, I don't understand what you mean. :confused: (Asks the person who lives in sunny Southern California. B) ) 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 It's been about the time this summer more than the location......but more shop space would be extremely welcomed. Maybe in another year or two I can do something about that. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'd been casually asking around to see if I could find a good home for Mend. I struck pay dirt at Canby this year. I was talking with Jason and his son Jake for some time. During the conversation, it came up that they were looking for a project truck for Jake. He's got about 3 years before he gets his license.....so he's got the time. Jason and his father inlaw just built a shop...so they've got the space and the skills. Anyway.....I feel bad for the condition I've gotten the truck into and the fact that I'm just not interested in turning a wrench these days. I am however, very excited that Mend has found a new home with a young man that is more than excited to receive her. The only stipulation I had was that they don't part it out. I don't care if they sell her once she's back on the road, but I don't get the impression they'll want to do that considering just how much work they're going to have to invest to get to that point. lol Anyway.....just as Brian and Do gifted us the truck nearly 10 years ago, I gifted the truck to Jake. The work and parts I had put into it were merely a sad apology for the condition it's in. I'll post the vid I did of the final hour and I'll also add a link to Jake's youtube channel he will be doing for the truck. If they don't do a build thread on Ratsun, I may post links to his vids here for those that want to see the resurrection. Jake's channel... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKp1e2D9Dp3wzWtL-t_fP6w 5 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Jakes stoked. Good karma better fall your way for this 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 He sure is! I'm not sure karma works if you expect it. lol But thanks!!! I certainly got a nice dose of karma when I received the truck. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Mike 1 question, what is your daughters graduation present now that you gave away her original present? LOL 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 The other two kids got about $1500 for graduation. So....several years ago, I paid off about $1500 of her debt in trade for the truck....so it became mine. I was seriously thinking about putting a KA in it and doing a couple of things differently from what she had wanted. But, the reality is that I just don't have the time, money....or even the desire to work on a project vehicle these days. Paula's 521 needs a few things, so I'll be doing a bit of wrench turning on it. Maybe in a few more years, I'll have the desire and I'll get a project for my granddaughter and I to work on. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Glad to see this go to a good home and get some attention. You've giving them a great start. :cool: subscribed to the youtube channel for updates :) 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thanks Steve. In some ways, I got them ahead.....but in others....it's a huge hinder. Although as I was digging through parts, I did find that I had bagged and labeled way more than I thought I had. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment
