    What is that bolt that goes in the I beam connecting the radius arm size. Think im going to have to use a star socket to get mines out.?

  • @Jbmongold
    @Jbmongold2 ай бұрын

    I'm afraid I don't know exactly which you mean. The I beams connect to the cross member on one side, then a huge bolt running through it and the radius arm on the other side. I used a crescent for the cross member side, and a deep 30mm socket for the long bolt connecting the radius arm and I beam. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

    Could you bolt on rather than weld ???

  • @Jbmongold
    @Jbmongold3 ай бұрын

    I think they're weld only. On my E-150 the rear climate control lines are tucked in the frame behind the bracket. This would make it very difficult to run a bolt through the frame without coming into contact with these lines.

    I have a 2000 e150. I did put solid aluminum rims and automotive 60s all around, but no lift anything. I've been told it looks lowered, but no. I bought it new in 2001, but I don't think I'd have the wear with all to tackle what you did. Even back then. I did think about taller coils, but its fine. Just bought new 60s, next time I may go with more off/ on road tires. But they're definitely more noisy for road use and that's about all she does anyway. It does look nice all up like that. More like a 350. And the black rims are cool. I wanted to get chrome bumpers too, but couldn't see spending the money. So I painted um charcoal. Alls well. Good job 👍👍

    Did you check on it after 15 mins?? If the parents haven't returned to it something happened to parents. It was very hungry which means it was there too long. Just to be short.. you should have kept it and raised it as a pet or new family member. With a 80% mortality rate it most likely wouldn't have made it. They make excellent companions as they are intelligent & social. Wish u would have made a follow up video.. it probably died most likely. The parents would have been around screaming at u if they saw u near chick. R. I. P. little sparrow.

    Actually, was, in its nest, then was deposited in an abandoned nest, unless a lot of bird activity is recent there. So he put bait, or a corpse, on his roof, because the nest might have been abandoned due to predators and activity ceased, or it will attract the predator the parent bird was migrating the chick away from, on the chick this time without protection. If you find a bird, you keep it, that s the Mother Nature thing satisfied. The parent bird can tend the chick on the floor, have it nearer floor food resources, and do you see how it uses the post as scarecrow? It would be a safer nesting place if the predator is scared of those things. But anyway, chicks remain silent alone until they cannot wait more for food and once Human happens to hold it, no way back, nowhere to go back for the bird.
