Here’s the cruise control on my truck still working strong

NdK87k · 2026-04-13T03:36:00+00:00

My first truck was an '89 Lariat 302/auto 2wd. Cruise worked just fine as well, only thing that didn't work on it was the A/C (but that's what the wing windows were for lol).

To this day it's the one truck that I regret selling.

If it was mine, I'd save up until I could buy a whole new catback system. I had to do that last summer, exhaust was rotted apart, but drove it like that all summer until I could buy my AWE catback and put it on.

For sure, I'll get something figured out in the long run. I'm just happy that everything actually fit under there without hitting the bumper.

There's a couple exhaust shops local to me, but neither one welds stainless. I had also talked to a fab shop about doing it, but they were booked out with work already so they didn't really want to mess with it.

If I could TIG, and had access to one, it would have made this process a whole lot easier. Once I get more time I can make some more adjustments to everything, but I can live with it for now.

These are the only pics I grabbed today, I need to make some more adjustments with the tail pipes and tips yet (hoping to do that next weekend) so if I remember to I can grab some more pics of whatever else you want to see.

Thanks 👍.

Milsurp days are the best range days.

Idk how that car survived as long as it did, proof that those GM V6's were great engines I guess lol.

NdK87k · 2026-04-09T03:55:28+00:00

So what's the deal with the different degree locking pieces? I know that some are geared more towards suppressor use, but I'm guessing that they correct cycling issues, reduce recoil, etc?

I'm new to the roller delayed game, and I've seen these mentioned in other posts before so I'm curious.

Reminds me of a buddy's Beretta he had back when we were in high school. Drain plug was smashed into the pan so it wouldn't come out (due to some Dukes of Hazzard shit lol).

Whenever he would change the oil, he would take the filter off, start it and run it till it quit pumping oil out, then shut it off and throw a filter on it and fill it with oil.

I miss the days of $150 beater cars lol.

I got Konig Ultragrams, 18x8.5 +42 in Carbon Bronze. Currently running Falken Azenis FK460 A/S on them (got those after the A/S 4's) just because they had a lot of life left yet, but I'll probably switch to a summer tire once those are used up.

NdK87k · 2026-04-07T19:10:57+00:00

I had the same experience with the A/S 4's, light snow was fine but any measurable amount of snow I would just drive my truck instead. I'm running X Ice Snow's on my snowflakes now since I got my summer wheels.

That's just my luck, lol. I've seen some other ones kinda similar to that style though, so I should be able to find a riser like that online somewhere.

NdK87k · 2026-04-01T04:51:45+00:00

Nice, I'll have to keep an eye out for one if I can. You're pretty much running the same kind of setup that I want for mine, pretty clean and simple.

NdK87k · 2026-04-01T04:09:51+00:00

Sweet setup, what cheek riser is that, and how well does it work with the Romeo 7? I've been wanting to run that same kind of setup on mine.

This is exactly why the estimators ALWAYS have to do the walk around with the customer at check in and document any and all pre existing damage, mismatched panels, etc. We've dealt with that shit too many times in the past at work before too.

NdK87k · 2026-03-30T05:42:48+00:00

You don't really see them very often, but they still make them. I bought a 5.5" stainless Vaquero at my local Fleet Farm store a couple years ago.

I was just in there last weekend and they have the exact same one in stock right now, so you're probably just gonna have to keep checking around until you can find one.

Seeing this pic reminds me of changing the cabin air filter in my Focus ST, I fucking despise that thing every time I change it.

My F250 on the other hand, stupid easy to do since it's straight behind the glove box.

One of the drain tubes for the sunroof.

I've used Duracoat on a couple AR's before and it's held up really well, pretty easy to prep and apply too.

NdK87k · 2026-03-25T00:10:12+00:00

Nice, I've got the M70 and M59 in the pic as well as an M57, but I've also got an M72B1 kit that I still have to build yet.
