3.55s

With 34.6" tires it'll be slower than molasses.

That does sound easier.

4:10s will be good with 35s, 4.56s would be even better for accel and even mpgs. That's what my buddy put on his blazer with 36s. You can feel the difference.

I would just take the driveshaft out until you can match the gears.

Thatd be a good reason to replace the driveshaft later...

Depends on the angles of them. I would keep at least a stock type, maybe update the u-joints. But depending on how extreme the angle is, maybe get longer ones for at least the rear and front if needed.

Custom ones will probably run right around 200 for the rear and maybe 150 for the front.

Yeah you're right. He left Michigan it seems because it wasn't the state it used to be and moved to Waco.

That's Texas +1, Michigan -1

I don't mind Jesse James (personal life **** aside). He seems like a straight up no bull**** kind of guy (if hes anything like he is on tv) and he seems to have some serious metal skills (once again, if hes anything like he seems to be on tv, yes, I know its tv).

From the people I know that really know him, he's exactly like he is on tv. He's as straight up as they get from what I hear. He seems like a cool guy to hang with but I'm sure he's one of those guys that trouble finds every time.

If the stuff that has been portrayed on tv is true about him going to Israel to apprentice for a blacksmith in the last few years, I have mad respect for that dedication to the craft. The last few things I've seen him do he was hammering and forging **** by hand to build bike parts. Can't dis a man that does that, if its true. Anyone can put in a program in a CNC, or order parts and bolt them together. It takes someone dedicated to hammer that **** out from raw red hot steel himself.

Once again, if that stuff is true.

I'm not sure either. I have a buddy that paints custom bikes. He knows him from bike shows. He used one of his band's songs in monster garage when he had that show. His personal life doesn't really say anything. The tattoo'd pornstar would be tempting for anyone. Lol

New harmonic balancer was delivered today along with the stuff for the rear end. Of course I have to work late and will be wondering if it's the right one till I get home and open the box.

I'd ask the wife to do it but that would be like asking her to tell me if it's plutonium or lead in that box.
