What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Must be something with Tuff country knuckles I am thinking. The 285's do clear by about 3/8"if I remember right, but the 315's didn't, and they were suppose to with 4.5 bs according to there specs. And the carwash is a nightmare. Lol. Maybe where nothing freezes it wouldn't be so bad. Storage units are a better business as we have built and own lots of those also. Although people are always a pai to collect from every month, and throwing out people's personal property all the time isn't my favorite thing either.

 

Ah, yep, the spindles would be my guess. I'll be getting the TC gussets welded to mine but have no plan on changing them out itherwise.

Ha, yeah freezing is not something we have to worry about here. One of my childhood friends dad's has dozens of do it yourself car washes. For as long as I can remember, he would have massive drums full of quarters in his garage that would have to be picked up by an armored truck. His dad seemed to always be out fixing things. Guessing that they were all in Northern Nevada and Winipeg Canada, freezing is something he dealt with on a constant basis

 

Just received my paint pens. Touching up some scratches once the weather clears up.

 

Yep, constantly breaking down. Maintenance nightmare. And the freezing just complicates it more. Not to mention that people leave a freaking mess like they can't even get stuff in a garbage can. Constantly picking up after everyone like they are little kids. It's ridiculous. I might just make a trip out to Arizona sometime. Going out to Wyoming this summer. Possibly taking the Taco.

 

Yellow and blue?

 

Well if you make it out this way, let me know. Happy to show you around the grand Canyon state

 

I will, haven't been there since I was a kid, grandpa lived in Bullhead city. What do the TC gussets do?

 

They just add strength to the factory spindle. Simple upgrade but worthwhile. My truck will be going under the knife again soon so I'll probably do it then

 

Ok, just looked at them. Says eliminates factory sway bar. Which would eliminate the links?? Possibility for me, or not so much cause of the Tuff country spindles.?

 

Yeah unfortunately with your 6" lift it probably wouldn't work for you since they are designed for the factory spindles.

 

Oh well. I'll get it right!

 

I'll do some thinking.. try and figure out some options for you. I admittedly don't have much experience with tough country lifts but I'll research it and see what you might be able to pair with it

 

It's just their company color scheme I guess.

 

Thanks, I would be willing to buy spindles from a different Fabricator if they would help my clearance issue!

 

Ok, got it! Stop scratching it up!!!

 

I'll be sure to tell the jackass who keyed it to stop! I have the worst luck I swear.

 

People can be f---ing pricks! Ihad someone key the heck out of my 67 mustang years ago. Jealous little losers!

 

Finally finished up the mounts for a couple Christmas presents. Made them according to the method in this thread.

 

Ah man.. that sucks. I would of lost it!
