Colorado B.S. Thread

I've got one of the low profile aluminum racing jacks from HF that I've had for years. I would imagine that its similar to the ones you posted, keep an eye on some of the c-clips (I had one that somehow popped off on the part that was connected to the jacking plate, could've been interesting). I was also able to rebuild it with a generic O-ring set.

But for heavier stuff, I have one of these. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200345429_200345429 I only paid in the low 100s for it and supposedly they offer the same jack (maybe different model number) at Costco occasionally. It is NOT a lightweight jack, but works great.

 

Anyone know what these are and why there are 6 of them? They just showed up at the shop for some reason. @SilverGhost

 

I'll take them from you. He said something about wanting to try pvc first

Question, I removed the grease boot from that ball joint I've been bitching about. It has about 1/16" of in and out play, maybe a about the same side to side but not much. It was almost void of grease and what was there was chunky. I filled it with fresh to maybe slow down the wear.

So here's the actual question, is it safe enough to get another weekend trip out of it? I feel ok on the pavement with it, how about slow, eggshell style, driving over a slightly rocky trail?
The new ones will be here Monday.

 

That's awesome how quick you guys got them. Big thanks to Toytec and the guys at Toytec. Outstanding customer service from them.

 

Nevermind, I should have done this yesterday. I just ordered one from Toytec and requested overnight shipping. We'll see if Fedex can come through.

 

Was just about to suggest the same

Not all local, but they're all pumpkin! lol

 

OHHHHHHHH, i see eddy line did a 6 pack of the pumpkin patch cans now!! GOOD NEWS!!

pumking is good and the dogfish head punkin is good too, i got a gift of Dry Dock Imperial Pumpkin the other day too thanks to Chance!!

 

There is a TW BEER thread. Pretty active thread too. With good beer suggestions.

^^^ that thread is pretty lame^^^^

 

Only because of the Pliny fan boys. Once you get through that you're good to go lol.

 

Yup, I've already bought the 6 pack of pumpkin patch and I've got one left. I bought a 4 pack of the pumking and 1 large bottle of the Warlock recently. The warlock is intense. It's an imperial stout with hints of pumpkin. High Gravity for sure. Pretty sure it got me a little tipsy after already having a couple pumpkin patches lol

 

Yay for Toytec!

 

So it's got a little grease in it. I would like to see the boot full of it personally. I'll stuff some more in. Maybe grease it once a year after this.

 

noob??? what would be the easiest way to grease them after install?? pull them out and take the boot off and regrease?? or is there a way to grease them while theyre on the truck? i have lr ucas and ill bet there is not much grease in there.

 

i do wish there was a zerk on the LR UCA's ball joint
