At what point would you say "screw it" and not run to the junk yard for some D44 Snouts or something similar.

but what truck is that from???

**coopaaron0** · 08-19-2009, 09:18 PM

Holy hell, I found it Matt.

A F-150 Super Crew running 37's

Stock F-150 snout, which has been heat treated. Now that it is welded it is as brittle as a saltine cracker.

oh i see..........but WHO is building it??

**coopaaron0** · 08-19-2009, 09:19 PM

It's obviously not a budget build.. So why not call up this wonderful place called Blitzkrieg Motorsport's and get some machined goodie's to put together a spindle that will last?

**coopaaron0** · 08-19-2009, 09:20 PM

Don't make me say it Matt....

**coopaaron0** · 08-19-2009, 09:20 PM

Karate Chop?

**coopaaron0** · 08-19-2009, 09:20 PM

Baja Chop?

Edit: Baja Shop..

Sorry I couldn't read that water jetted logo on the LCA.

It was too Anarchy or Punk Rock for me to decifer..

What does an unwelded spindle look like? Looks like the lip that the inner bearing seal rests against has a weld on it, or is that a spacer, or has it already cracked and been rewelded?

What the seal rides on is a machined tube that is welded into the upright. You can then press the stock pin into the spindle. Just like factory......

When you weld on a heat treated part like that you take away the heat treat and create a huge stress riser right at the highest point of stress on the whole spindle. Not a good combo. I would recommend staying far away from this truck as not to get hit by any stray tires it might lose.

Okay, did not know that the tube that the seal rode on and the pin were 2 different parts, thought they were all one piece welded to the upright, then another bead was just randomly on there, I mean, once you're welding on a heat-treated spindle, may as well weld some more right?

**BPF150** · 08-19-2009, 11:50 PM

at least the welds are nice around the hub and th spindle lol

Well, seeing as how a guy with a truck that doesn't really have anything wrong with it, is the new bandwagon bashing victim- what do you expect?

How about quoting dragginballs, who made the first comment? DramaRangers-made so fully by its own members.
