Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Yea after looking at it I can tell its a Pelfrey. Just looked different from the lower angle.

 

Anyone have some OME 886 springs laying around? Bumper next week

 

Thats terrible In the last 2 weeks i've come across 3 major accidents where I was one of the first there.. 2 of them were motorcycles and in one of the the guy was dead, I didn't feel any pulse.

 

Pulling out my third member in the morning for ARB install. Been reading this thread a lot

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...removal-installation-e-locker-3rd-member.html

Any advice or tips you guys have is appreciated

 

Good luck!! haha wish I could help out and see how it will be when I do mine in a few years..

 

I didn't read all of that thread, but it looks pretty comprehensive.

Definitely use a hydraulic shop press. If you don't have one, I saw some videos online where people just used hammers, but that makes me nervous. I was able to borrow my neighbor's press and it made it much easier!

Definitely use a dial indicator. The harbor freight dial and magnetic base are pretty inexpensive and work great.

The third member is a heavy SOB, so definitely see if you can grab an assistant. My dad and I used quite a bit of muscle getting it in and out.

The only other thing that I was recommended, so I'll pass it on to you, is to do a diff rebuild while you're in there if you have more than 100k miles, (maybe 150k? Mine had 200k, so it's up to you) since it's been rebuilt, if ever. I found that cruiser outfitters was the easiest to work with and had the most comprehensive kits for rebuilds, but Davez offroad might also have a kit.
The rebuild wasn't too bad, but you'll need a few more tools for that.

 

Are you building it yourself. Or just pulling the third, for a shop to build it? I have always worried about trying this. Setting the backlash looks time consuming.

 

Looks like we won't be doing the con open/open.

 

sure we will, once the snow melts

 

Budman is putting a locker. And I'm about to pull the trigger on doing a swap to an OR e locker.

 

Yep! My tcase and mid skids should be in mid to late May

 

Blocked in on the loading dock at work. Fucking people, think they can park anywhere.

 

Commence ramming speed!!! Ftw

 

move those fuckers with that nice plate bumper of yours! or move them with the winch!!

Improvise!!! lol

 

You can't escape the stupid. Saw some guy cut off an entire line of cars waiting to fill up at Costco yesterday.

 

Thanks, but I just need help with the really easy stuff

Yeah, bringing the third into a shop. I don't have the time (or skill) to do the diff internals... Most worried about damaging axle seals and dropping the fucker on me. I think I've got it covered...

I won't use it, I swear

Do it!!

Oklahoma is worse when it comes to weather coverage. One little orange cell in the north west part of the state and every radio and tv channel interrupts to inform you of possible thunderstorm activity.
