Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Once those tires get to a point they wear extremely fast. I went out for a ride once and got stuck cuz I thought I still had tread checked it at our mid point and had threads showing. I would go through a tire every 1k miles or less

 

Yeah, it sucks, but luckily i had the cash to get it swapped on the spot. Otherwise this would have been a shitty day.

 

Did you guys do have the carrier bearing drop? I have a low speed vibe. Also a high speed vibe that seems like it's coming from the carrier bearing area. No excessive play though and no CB spacer.

Also have a rattle that may be coming from a loose solar panel, roof vent or screen door, but you guys wouldn't understand...

 

I have the OME drop and my solar panel is bolted on tight.

 

I'd think on an extreme lift, you'd want to tilt the engine+tranny down a bit so the drive shaft angle isn't insane, and rotate the differential by that much too, so the shaft ends stay parallel. no idea how you deal with the front driveshaft, tho.

 

I have a few washers stacked until almost o vibes. I had the drop kit but it made mine worse. I have maybe half the drop as the ome spacer was. I played with it for a few days to get the best drop height.

 

Have you replaced the neddle bearing to the ecgs bushing. It sounds like that might be your problem. I would hate to replace things that dont need it.

 

Nick this is what the pro tell me to help find vibes from wheels .
If its in the front you will feel it in with your hands. Ie.. the stearing wheel. If its in the rear you will feel it in your ass .via...the seat. Not sure it will help you but its always something that i think of when i feel something off. Lol. An old mechanics joke.

 

I just cant get enough of this.

 

Did that

 

Also guys, mud terrains will cause vibrations as well. I noticed a but if vibration when i had mine on

 

That's what I'm going to blame it on after I do my wheel bearing

 

I mean, its a fact. Especially when I went frok stock tires to larger new mud terrains. My passenger seat had seizures on the highway when I was just cruising along. I'm pretty much used to vibes, and will get even more used to it with larger tires and solid mounted engine and trans lol

 

Also funny story,

I take my bike to Young's in Fairfield, so far they've treated me well, the customer service is great and the prices aren't too bad. Today when the guy was adjusting my rear tire I saw him put some blue loctite on the adjustment bolts after he was done, never seen him do that before. As he finishes up and is walking back in with the service order he comments to me that the adjustment screws were pretty backed off and loose, the alignment was fine but blah blah blah he goes on for a few minutes about when he did and why, and I just stared at him until he was done and then said "Huh, that's so weird, because you're the one that worked on it last when I was in here a few weeks ago for a tune up and you said the rear axle wasn't aligned and you fixed it." ....he just kinda babbled for a minute and looked really confused. I just grinned like..haha whatever dude, no harm no foul, but you guys are the only ones that have touched my bike since I bought it, so any issues you can point at yourself.

 

How difficult was the CB swap? Pretty straight forward?@MJonAgs32 @Mademan925

I have quite a bit of movement in mine. Might do this soon.

 

The adjusters need to be checked frequently. I double nutted mine...

 

Huge pain in the ass... But pretty straight forward. Going to need a good vice, a hammer, new u joint, and a 3 claw puller

 

Anybody possibly interested in my rear axle? 4.56 ARB LOCKER and diff protection. Plug and play swap out. $1400 I bought a d60 Hp Kingpin for the front and a 10 1/4" ring 14 bolt for the rear. Just feeling things out. I'd use that to throw a arb in the 14 bolt

 

Ugh I wish, I really want to bump up to 4.56 on my tundra and an ARB would be nice but sadly no monies.
