Good Morning All! Little reflare with my gout/ankle yesterday but had the meds this time, didn't miss work although went into work an hour late, up at night so not even a drive by yesterday, sure ya'll missed me lol!
 
Today is Wednesday in Vietnam. On Saturday I'm going up to Saigon to meet Lynda for 2 days before we get on an Airplane to go to the Resort Island of Phu Quoc for 5 days. I have reserved a bungalow right on the beach at the Ocean. Should be lots of fun.
Have fun on your Island while I'm working on mine lol! Make sure you send us lots of pics of Lynda, errr., the Island during your trip lol!
 
I got my Ramcharger back from 4x4 shop, shims added to front to add castor. The truck does track better but still not as good as I'd like, for one thing the wheel isn't at center and it's enough to bother me. What will fix that? $$$ of course!!! This is what can happen when lifting a truck backyard style "on the cheap". So next up for me to consider is a new steering box, aftermarket but built well/strong and it's local. The shop I took it to has been using them exclusively with great results. With that will be a adjustable drag link, that should get the geometry correct. The tires that came on the truck look great, they're aggressive but El Cheapos, will run them till they need changing and put on better rubber (Karl?)
 
Tonight's single man dinner. Vietnamese version of ramen noodles with a cut up Angus beef burger and bacon. Then some fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. I can make it on my own. Kkkkkkkkk

I eat a lot of sodium when I'm in Vietnam because when I exercise I sweat a lot. That's my story and I'm stickin to it...kkkkkkk
 
Ramen is good but damn the sodium. The bag I just looked at had 105% of your daily allowance.
And if you're type 2 diabetic it spikes your blood sugar pretty good, I had a "cup of noodles" the other day, that's what happened. We only bought 2 at the commissary, I like them more than they like me

I built from scratch a 4” lift for my 80 power wagon, bought the front axle lift block for the pitman and fabbed the rest. Steering wheel was dead straight. 35” tires, and easy to steer in any condition. I got lucky i guess.

I can't remember where previous owner got the leafs he added, does look good and helps clear the 33's but needs the fine tuning the drag link will allow to get wheel back to center while maintaining toe etc. 80 Power Wagon, nice!!!
