might i also add...you guys are a bunch of random posters....its hard to keep up with what the hell you guys talk about from day to day lol. You guys go from one person saying something and then 20 post later someone responds to it..as so much as even without quoting it lol.

<~ thats me lol
Well, we know what we are talking about..maybe you are wierd..? Yeah random is a good word to describe most of us. It takes all kinds to make the world go round. But I tried to improve for a change and quoted you....I feel less random all ready.

Cory......You suck.......I was referring to the ice cream joint. I didn't know you were not available. Dave.....You suckie suckie.......I could have had the kit for you in two days. O'well. The Nikki is sitting in the garage ready to be put back together whenever. You do realize that I basically boost prepped that Nikki, minus the jetting. Just something for you to think about

My biggest (and only) fear is needles.

Seriously. If anyone wants to watch me take a shot, watch me squeem like a little girl. I will fight and wreck havoc on doctors everywhere.

Props to you!

And I am surprised you got to scuba with that on, if that is you (which I dont think so, you probably were behind the camera, props!). They always make us wear a wet suit atleast. My favorite is the Farmer John lol

You know what? I got a question for everyone...

So, if you go to U-Haul and ask for a small trailer of whatever, they give you a single axle cubical unit that you hook to a trailer hitch on the back of your vehicle.

Question being, how does the axle rotate freely to the surrounding housing that is mounted to the suspension on the trailer?

I am wanting to build my own semi-trailer to haul 2500lbs and below...

I know the answer is bearings, but what does it look like from the inside?

I know the answer can be found with a 1st gen rear end, but being that the rear end I have available is the 84 GSL (arguably the best rear end on a first gen), I do NOT want to take it apart.... minus the Mosler axles I wish to get for it.

I think they are just hubs mounted to a crossmember that sits on the leaf springs. There is no real axle, it's more like the front spindles on your seven minus the brake rotor. The crossmember just ties em together so they stay tracking straight and behaves better over bumps. Go to Lowes and look at some of their trailers out in the parking lot.

does anyone want any of the A/C parts from my 85? they're just sitting there and i need to get rid of them, as far as i know sam's the only one that still has his ac, idk how well they work, the coil seems to have a couple of leaks on it so that's garbage probably, but the lines and everything else seems in good condition. ... and i've also got the side mouldings from my car if anyone wants those.
