Building Lady Lucille

Pfft, that's nothing on the stupid scale compared to other things I've done. I think that was more questionable design on the spindle gussets, lack of understanding how much spindles flex and trying to force a bad fit up work all with some "stupid" sprinkled throughout the whole process. Now the time I broke a set of coilovers....

 

For my records:

37k miles - purged driveshaft of oem grease and fresh filled with new Lucas marine bearing grease.

 

If you haven't checked your PS fluid do it now, mine looked like shit. Didn't smell burnt but didn't smell sweet anymore and didn't have a trace of red/pink in it. Takes less than a min to check it.

 

Thanks, Andy. Gonna do that right now. Taking the day to also swap gear oils and install some limb risers.

 

Oh you picked them up? @Dalandser , is this true? The carpet was pulled from under me on this deal? Lol. No worries. Enjoy that setup, Danny.

 

For sure, brother. Cash is king. I'm glad you scooped em up!

 

Yeah sorry about that, I woke up this morning and he hit me up about them - like I said I'm trying to save for a few major things. If I was fat I'd be willing to barter a little. Something just came up though that need the cash for. Someday hopefully things will be a little more friendly in the finance area of my life lol. If you're still interested in trading spindles I'm still looking for some. There's a good chance I'll be buying a new drive shaft instead of having it rebuilt at IE driveline so Monday morning would work for me if it works for you. If not I could try to make it Sunday in the evening after 8 or so!

 

Light misting of simple green and the local pay and spray and her motor is clean again.

 

My PS fluid is shot and smells lightly burnt. Wanna cone over this week sometime and help me change it? We can hit a trail after.

 

What's your work schedule look like? I'm working 6am-2pm everyday Wednesday until Tuesday. Looks like I'm going to be able to take a vacation day on Saturday for some hard trails.

Its really easy if you follow these.....

Probably takes about an hour if you take your time.

 

Installed a Plano to the Prinsu today. No measuring, just eyeballed it. Took about a beer to install

 

i like that we actually know about how long this means!

 

If you haven't ordered your Underlanders gear yet, here's a link to pick some up. Are you an Underlander?

Our statement:

We aren't about expensive rigs; the newest and the best, though we build them with function in mind. We aren't about making money or "building an image." We aren't about Instagram followers or "doing it for the likes."


What we are about is drinking beer. What we are about is campfires.

What we are about is sleeping under the stars with good friends.

What we are about is doing what we want to do, going where we want to go, and encouraging others to do the same.


We don't follow itineraries. We don't have membership requirements. This isn't some exclusive cool guy club.


Take away the image of "overlanding" and bring back the feel of camping as a kid, and you will understand what being an Underlander means to us.


Dirt, trucks, guns, beer, and pups.


Also, we definitely do it for the likes.





T-shirts will be in this week

 

I believe the link is missing? Really like the idea behind this and I want to be an underlander!
