theres a trick to that , the saoedis use raw oil straight out of the ground on compacted sand as roads
the oil preventing the sand from making dust , so WHEN it rains there the roads are like ice
theres another movie on youtube somewhere with 3 guys figureskating next to there car inside open doors on flipflops doing about 50 mph
these guys are realy stupid sometimes when you look at some of the accidents on youtube

the doorknobs look great btw im suprized because the styling is so different

Was wondering why they were sliding so easy. Didn't think of what the roads are made of. When I lived in Las Vegas the roads got real slippery when the temps got very hot. Oil would surface from the black top. It was scary on a motorcycle sometimes.

BTW thanks about the handles. I've seen it done on some customs cars, and looked good on them. Never seen it done on a truck though. They work on only a curved surface. On our trucks your limited on what will fit that curve. I took a gamble when I got the handles from E-Bay. I'm lucky it worked out. I was worried there for a while.

I notice it when I go above 55-60. It's a vibration. At first I thought it might be my front ball joints. One was bad. Now I'm pretty sure it coming from the rear. All the joints on my drive line are good or new. It just seems like somthings not lined up right. I have never had it aligned. Just not sure what to try next? Feels like my drive line might not be balanced? Truck is lowered quite a bit in the back. I'm pretty sure my angles are not normal. What would a bad pinion angle do? Could be that. Not sure how to change it. Maybe shim the trans up or down. The joint in the middle is fixed

Sounds like it is the pinion angle. Here's some good info. Also GOOGLE it. There's lots of info out there.

I almost gave up on the door handles. They were distorting the plastic when I tightened the brackets I made to hold them in. It would push the handle out when I tightened those brackets. I modified the brackets, and they work pretty good now. But not perfect. Friday I'll make them a little better, and post more pictures. I'm such a picture taking slut.
