South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Of course not...

 

Idk. But something is wrong. That stem shouldn't be that high even with the missing bottom washer. It's like the rubber grommet isn't tall enough.

 

I'm so mad at myself right now. I'll change it tonight and put in the washers correctly this time. I just want a drink haha. Good news is I'll never do it wrong again!

 

If I'm not mistaken, the bottom of the coil spring sits in a groove that's lower than the rest of the bottom bucket. Did you get that in?

 

What I'm saying is, even with the other washer in there, it isn't going to be right. Something else is amiss.

 

Raise hell. A man will do most anything to keep from hearing a woman complain.

 

I believe everything else is good. I have it set to 0", the bottom collar is installed the correct way, and the coil is sitting where it's suppose to on that collar.

Not the best pic but I'm not home now to take more pictures. I've checked everything else and doubled checked they were set right. The new 5100s didn't come with new rubber washers, just the top washer and nut so being tired and in a hurry (11pm on a Friday) I didn't even think about the bottom set.

 

I don't see any SGTCap pictures and videos damn you

It's cause I'm bald and my transmission grinds isn't it

 

So you moved them down from 0.85 to 0 and they got worse?

 

No, my initial issue was my concern over how high the lift was. After dropping it to 0" it's not a tad higher than it was about .5" to 1" I can't remember my after measurements, I didn't take any pics. After putting the AAL in the rear the rear now sits level with the front to 1/4" lower, which I'm not a fan of, but you can't visually see the difference. Once I load the bed up though... I might end up taking that spacer out later to get the front a little lower. We'll see.

Now the problem is with that top washer not sitting all the way, but I didn't put the bottom washer and rubber in.

 

One thing i did figure out on this trip is i hate a ground tent. Pita. Are RTT's better, faster, u think they are ?

 

Nope. It's grinding too. I rebuilt the shifter with no improvement. I'm out of ideas. Might order yet another transmission

 

Way better for camping. Keeping it on my truck everyday gets in the way.

 

Fixing eddys headlights because of his scuba diving excursion

 

Would build a hoist in the garage maybe

 

I love ground tents, as long as you're not sleeping on the ground. A good xxl cot from cabellas does the trick.
And some of the older dome tents I had set up in minutes.
