Don't use loctite if it's a nylock. May want to look into stover nuts if it becomes a frequent problem.

 

My truck is finally not my DD. Got a 2016 Honda Civic since I'll be commuting A LOT for work now and on the weekends.

Washed and waxed them both today.

 

That civic looks nice!

 

Thanks, It's super nice. Honda did the 10th gen Civics right! Led headlights, 1.5 Turbo it's approaching Acura territory.

Wanted a chevy 2500hd but my daily commute is going to be 100 miles, and 400 every weekend for most of this year.

 

Damn haha yeah better stick to that civic haha I'm looking around for something myself but unsure yet..

 

I'd drive a Prius before another Honda

 

Lol, Yeah no.

 

What are the MPGs on that and aprrox what did you pay OTD?

 

Umm that's not a Toyota

 

I'm averaging 39mpg currently. Guys on the civic forum are hitting 42-43.

Fully loaded Touring trim, 25.3k before TTL.

 

That isn't a trailer, a diesel or an RV. Total fucking waste

 

Makes the Camry look like crap lol. I was open minded to about anything out there under 27k

 

That's damn good mpg

 

Yeah I had one of those Camry sport models for a month when we were doing the links etc. I just can't handle cars they feel so alien to me ...but now that you have a DD...SAS, cage, turbo etc

 

My biggest complaint ^^^^

 

Buys a Civic
Joins Honda forum..


Soon he sells Tacoma and

 

OPs new forum buddies

 

Haha.

 

Not sure if this trick will work with your non race series lowers guys but I had a problem getting to mine too because there was not enough to room between the bottom of the CV and the top of the uniball to get a socket on it. ( see solution below )My lower uniballs have a square socket hole in the top so you literally just put a ratchet directly onto the uniball but again the space is too tight to fit a ratchet in - looks like this :


So, I was going to have my fab buddy weld a small chunk of square stock to a piece of flat bar to make my own low profile tool but then I found these online and ended finding them at harbor freight. Just drop this into the top of the uniball then hold it with a crescent wrench or box wrench :

 

Top of ours is an allen head. The clearance is so tight though I don't think you could get anything in there. I wondered how it doesn't rub the CV to be honest. I love my non race stock length lowers aside from this one fact.

I did find however that I could hold the top in place with vice grips in a pinch.
