    Got the new tool box installed. I tried to get the old one back in shape but it's falling apart again. New one is a Bawer stainless. IMG_2629.JPG IMG_2633.JPG

    Tug toy, the truck really looks great. I really love the 9200 & 9400. Looking to get one myself in the next year or so.
     
    Tug Toy Thanks this.

    Looks great. The transformation you've taken this truck on is nothing short of awesome! I like those internationals on a case by case basis & yours is the best I've seen.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

    I try and keep it clean, but don't look to close. Lots of little cracks and scrapes. The paint is pealing off the inside of the fairings and I need to repaint the frame again.

    I'm going to repaint the hood and fairings hopefully before Christmas.

    You posted the other day about replacing the slipper pads on the spring hangars. I am getting ready to do mine & was wondering if there are any tricks I need to know.

    Nope. Just 2 nuts and bolts. Jack the opposite axle up and they come right out. I had to cut a few of the bolts off and replaced them all. Made a big difference.

    Good luck.

    Thanks. The part about where to put the jack was what I was wondering about. They sure are proud of those little pieces of plastic.

    Had the driveline done AGAIN. It's much better now on the 3rd time in less than a year and $3200.00

    Still got a little shimmy occasionally. Only thing I can find is the front spring bushings seem a little soft. Someone else may not even ever notice it? Drives me nuts though. Every time I fix something it makes the whole package about %50 better. The returns (improvements) in handiling get smaller each time though. I figure the spring bushings are cheap enough to just change though.
