NJ B.S. Thread

Thanks Steve. You have a recommendation for the clamp band pliers?

i'm gonna try to redo my front end: Rebuild CV axles, TC gusseted spindles, move my coils down one notch on my Bilsteins and re-adjust my LR UCA's to improve caster.

 

Hunter has my pair if you need to borrow.

 

i may have to add the extra leaf when i do put a rack and whatnot on.

 

Guys please take the 1 minute to assist in the protest of the proposed closing of many trails in Wharton state forest!!!!

Below is some text that you can use to paste into the comment box and modify if wish. We believe this text reflects the position of a reasonable user of the forest.

I am concerned about the proposed Resolution that is being considered at the upcoming Pinelands Commission meeting on 7/14. While the maps that are being proposed are the USGS Topographical Maps and are widely recognized as the most comprehensive baseline of roads that exist, nonetheless, I see several unresolved concerns regarding this resolution. They are as follows:

In a previous meeting, the Commission discussed consulting the forest stakeholders before proposing the resolution. This stakeholder group includes various outdoor enthusiast groups, environmental groups, and the Pinelands Municipal Council. To our knowledge these groups have not been consulted.

It is not clear how this Resolution would affect events covered by Special Use Permits. Even some of the forest’s seemingly most insignificant roads are actually essential for the safety and successful running of these legal and approved events. Support crews, emergency vehicles and spectators count on these roads in ways it would be difficult for those unfamiliar with the events to contemplate.

It is not clear that this Resolution will have the desired effect. The DEP is solely responsible for enforcing any and all restrictions to motor vehicle access. Since the failure of the 2015 M.A.P. program, the DEP has taken on a more successful approach of enforcement, education and targeted protection projects. It is not clear that this Resolution will improve these efforts and, in fact, may undermine the progress made by the DEP in gaining the support of the stakeholder groups who, for the most part, currently support the DEP’s protection efforts. Further, the DEP has stated they do not need this map to be able to enforce motor vehicle related violations in the forest.

Most importantly, the resolution does not indicate how future changes to the map will be evaluated and adjudicated. The Pinelands Commission clearly does not have the resources to properly assess any kind of significant volume of proposed changes that may come in the future. It is not clear how the stakeholders would be engaged in this process. Further, some groups will undoubtedly view this as an opening to assail current, legal, responsible access, setting up the potential for a continued and protracted battle for access, which will further consume resources that the Pinelands Commission does not have.

I believe that the Pinelands Commission should table this Resolution and consult with the DEP to see what, if anything, the Pinelands Commission can do to help the DEP better protect the forest.

 

When do you need them by? Could possibly meet with Ryan at his parents this weekend to get them to you... can you rebuild one of my CVs on the process?

 

Curious what this coffee stirrer trick is I keep seeing you guys talk about. I rebooted both my cvs in the last 6 months and didn't use this trick. Just curious how it would have helped for next time.

 

Spam. Reported.

 

Thanks for the offer Jerry. I'll likely be using a tool like this several times in the future, so I'll go ahead and buy one.
Can you help me with a link to a decent pair?

 

i think you use a coffee stirrer when putting the boot on, so you can adjust it down or up. Then when you are ready, you take it out, and then no more adjustments.

I just got a spare CV myself, so Ill be looking for a rebuild kit soon.

 

Steve @Wheelspinner, there are two EMPI P/N's on the thread box below.

$26 86-2326D CV Boot Kit

86-2326D and

$32 86-2418-D CV Boot Kit

86-2418-D
Which one's did you get?

 

One is inner, one is outer
2326 is outer

 

Thanks, Just spotted the difference. Inner/Outer. Went ahead and ordered two of each and a Lisle CV Boot Pliers.

 

Looks like you got it covers.45 minutes from question to purchase....

 

Yeah... needed to get it shipped and at my doorstep before the weekend. Amazon Prime gave me 36 minutes to decide, if I wanted it this Friday. LOL
Thanks for the offer though Jerry

 

@Sub-Zero - what brake drums and shoes did you finally go with? I'm gonna try to get my rear brakes done before Takeover.

 

Had to do rear shoes Sunday night. Apparently when my parking brake got hung up and wouldn't release, I bent the shoe itself when power unstucking it.

 

What rear shoes did you get?

 

You got it. I'm late to the party so it seems you got everything squared away

basically you stick a coffee stirrer/wd40 tube through the small side of the boot to allow air in and out while you get the boot set in place. It can be done without it but it's possible to have the boot filled with air or actually under a vacuum so it won't be in a natural/neutral position and could lead to premature wear.

 

Ahhh great another thing to worry about haha. vacuums in my boots.

 

So who is going to rock therapy this october and what dates will you be going out there and coming back? Anyone wanna do a loop with me? Id like to see mt rushmore and yellow stone national park a bit. A friend of mine lives in Jackson hole wyoming and offered to show me around and take a pretty scenic hike. After that possibly the Kokopelli trail into Moab for the event plus a day or 2 and then make my way back. Wanted to take 3 weeks or so and do it. Can't ask for people to take 3 weeks off work with me because not alot of people can do that but the company would be nice. Ill probably try to link up with friends family and TW folk on the way back too. Kinda want to go down to Texas somewhere not sure where... then nashville then north carolina and last stop will be in va for a visit to coastie friends and then back home
