Colorado B.S. Thread

Final torque, too, tighten until it breaks and back off 1/2 a turn.

 

I always forget that step! Thanks for the reminder!

 

Only two tools required. Vice grips because they fit everything and a hammer for when the vice grips are too tight.

 

I have a metric adjustable wrench too. Should have it covered.

 

Can I borrow it? my adjustable only does standard

 

I'll get a pic of it....it's a 200mm
If I can find it...

 

Thanks for offers on the help guys but it looks like I'm going to be waiting again...some more...on my shackles. I will, however, offer beers to anybody that is willing to help once I get all my parts in

 

don't know why I quoted that particular post either...

 

@Star-Lord if you want any help I will be around tomorrow so just let me know!

 

Haha I was referring to a rant star lord went in about this subject on the 2nd gens

Did you think about going with a 2 piece with a double cardone replacing u joint behind CB?

 

Apparently i have two of them. One covers both SAE and Metric.
The other smaller one is metric only.

 

It's not recommended with the long bed. The leongth is too great

 

Got the fronts installed today. Again, many thanks to ToyTec, @sean266 , @Ryan at Eibach and @lobsterbait



Looks like a pretty solid 2" all the way around

Set the Eibachs up front on the 3rd notch with stock springs for now.
Rear is Boss Remote Res with a single AAL until we figure out if we're going to do an RTT

 

The weekend of fabbing begins.

 

If only someone would make one which works on British Imperial... #UKproblems

 

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out

 

The light bulbs are flying... Have some great ideas.

And good progress. That'll be disclosed in the build thread throughout the night.

 

Anyone going to any of the car shows tomorrow?

 

There's a car show in my garage!

And a sweet tool box!




I'd guess car show turnouts will be a little low with the whole blizzard thing, and the cold.

At least if they live where there's still snow.

 

Well I never knew your garage was that big. No one passed on the message.

Lol I have been thinking about that damn toolbox but I also need to buy a washer and dryer this weekend so hard to pull that trigger.

Hopefully still a few decent turnouts, I think it is supposed to be nicer tomorrow.
