How wide of a spacer is needed against the hub of a SRW truck to run stock dually wheels with 12.5" wide tires? I dont have the wheels yet to mount up and measure. Be nice to have an idea.

We had to run a 3"spacer. If you need a set let me know, will make you a deal on them

I made up some sled stops. I am working on my welding skills as this is my first real try with a MIG welder. I didn't prep the metal the best I found out so I will work on that next go round.

Also made up a air shut off. I just couldn't justify spending the big money on the other air shut offs. I made this one for about $40.

I have an empire butterfly shutoff to sell if anyone needs one.

Everything is looking pretty nice. I was watching some of my old videos the other day. Been a long time, the say posted "4 years ago" lol.

Then I started thinking about getting a subie and going rally racing since the fiance wants to drive the TDI to work now with her new job instead of the mustang. Someday I'll make up my mind.

They sure did spew out a lot of wrong information. I wish they would have turned the mics off and the trucks up! You could barely hear actual audio from the truck. Looks like they sped the video up as well.:confused:

A lot of announcers do. Many come from the BB Gas days.

That guy sounds like armie armstrong. They used to have him on the NTPA Pull Show on RFDTV. He was so annoying, talking the entire time, never heard the tractor. Then they got rid of him and they turn the mics off once they start building boost.
