Still have the glass?

Awesome thank you for the advice. I have a 1-1/4” bar. That’s my smallest bar. I will throw that on. Right now the truck acts like a quad.

Well dang. It’s all done and the 1-3/4 way too stiff. I’m going down to the 1-1/2” bar. Hope it lives.

Okay well I have already started making mounts so I’m committed. The arms I have are 4130 chromoly.

Only thing the Schroeder website says is steel. So I’m just going to wing it.

I got this one for $125. It’s 1.5” on the ends and steps up to 1.75”. Might buy one that’s 1.5” the whole way.

Dang you rock!

That’s my thought.

If you haven’t cut the hole in your cab on the passenger side. You can use tape on the driver side and then peel it back flip it inside out and use it on the passenger side to get the hole so it’s not so big. Old, mini trucker trick.

Just seeing if I’m going down a road that shouldn’t be traveled. I’ve seen these sway bars everywhere used for cheap. They range from as small as 7/8” all the way up to 2”. I bought one off eBay to try. The arms are 4130 so I should be able to just use them as slugs and make the rest of the arms.

I have State Farm and they wouldn’t cover my truck and asked them how do they insure buggy’s. They told me a stated value policy. After an hour with the agent, it was going to be like $550 a month. Needless to say I’m like you all. Just standard coverage and don’t crash.

Does anyone know if there will be a swap meet this fall?

Nope I got it running last year. I have driven the hell out of it. Drove it on death week. Put almost 10k street miles and probably a thousand dirt miles. Would love to learn how to tune the shocks better. I keep messing with them. Sometimes better and sometimes worse.

I’m originally from San Diego but moved to Yuma Arizona.

My f250. Haven’t started it yet
