[3stagevtec]

Wow! Rims looking great!

[black start]

rough skin too

[droppa]

Aye Rene I did get the shackle sorted, we took off some tension from the rear leaves and the shackle is in a better position now, actually rides plenty better and not as much bounce, need to do some work on the bushings tho, they are being tightened into the spring and shackle and causing them not to flex, ill fix that soon


Yeah boi black start the paint job pulling real eyes, about 5 ppl done ask the straightener for quotes on their rides, it really something different

[rottedv]

Yeah boi Pa, that green looking like hulk use more gamma rays than he expected...Lol...So yuh prime with gravitec and paint over that in d green? Why d 33" tho and not d 35" as before?

[droppa]

Yeah we prime with sand and fill primer first then cover with the gravi then add the colour on that
Hearing that the gravi can be tinted to what ever colour u want, but that I have to find out more about
And well depend on how u mix, spray and number of coats determine the finish effects

As for 33s, it what was in stock, I didn't want it and still don't like it, it's too small, but she works a lot better, I will definitely have to regear at a later time

[sliderz1]

Btw since you had parked next to the police van the other day at first glance i thought was a regiment vehicle.....then i saw the Reg plates

higher than i initially thought too

My shackles came with special nuts where the last thread is crimped in slightly, that makes the nut very hard to run up, it stops any possibility of them backing out. No sleeves also here. I am tightening them till they just squeeze the bushing and stopping right there, you can try using two nuts and locking them against each other, that way you won't have to tighten them so much and it will help save the bushings.

[droppa]

I have nylock nuts on now, and I don't think they move, will mark it and see, but yeah I taut about the two not and lock up style


Aye boi sliderz I eh kno u in town now, boi I initially taut the color was too close to rigiment but theirs is a lot darker, almost black

[525isport]
