ROCKtober THERAPY 2017 - Back to the Basics

easy solution...don't drive like an asshole so you have no reason to be pulled over

 

Yep it's where you have to go to get an IPA lol

 

I remember being told a very long time ago if your gonna break the law only break one law at a time never multiple.

 

moab prep sucks you know that...... everythign alignment related on the tundra is seized/frozen solid..... spent 2 hours trying to break free the outer tie rods to fix my toe and now im stuck with one side fixed the other stuck until I get parts tomorrow. Not to mention we need to get the lowers broke free to fix the camber.......

As well been working very steadily on #rexus and the ls swap and ran into the waiting for parts issue

 

just please....do not burn down the truck!

 

the guy working on it with me asked it was okay to burn the truck down as hed never been defeated by an alignment before, I just in a sharply calm matter said "NO" hahahahahaha we did have the torch out too.....

 

Mix up a 50/50 blend of ATF and acetone. Liberally apply to all bolts, then smack with a hammer. Wait five minutes. Repeat. Then loosen them, likely with just finger torque.

 

ever heard of kroil.... yah the shit that pulls anything apart wouldnt do it...... this was corrosion this shit is stuck hahahaha
I just ordered a couple in parts to fix it properly

 

ATF+acetone>Kroil

Not the exact link I was looking for, but you'll note the ATF mixture is twice as effective as Kroil:

This^^^ I've seent it work in real life and swear by it

 

Weak. Just checked the time stamps on my swap photos.

From this:

To this:


In under a month. Including making a new front DS and having the rear one shortened.

Had some motivation however. Truck needed to be running to go up to Silver Basin for our wedding anniversary. So all after-work garage time was fully approved.

 

Is that a camper on the left in the before pic?

 

Yep. Her maiden voyage was Rock Therapy 2015.

 

Nice

 

I'm leaving orange county, not sure if I'll be with anybody other trucks yet. But I'm passing through.

 

I remember your setup, I was parked just next to you, pretty sweet teardrop. Sorry for our late night fire pit shenanigans. i.e. drunk jeeper pissing himself, konsta and guns etc.

 

If i worked from home I would have been done already..... when Im home 14 days and gone for 14 days you'd think you can get more done ..... NOPE lol damn wifey has a million things to do everytime I get home

Plus ive ran into weird complications waiting for parts, changing brakes over to hydroboost added a new complication, changing over to an LS1 belt system while maintaining the truck accessory spacing was the next big hurdle as I wanted more clearance from the frame

and motivation over summer was limited as I was busy with family BS...... Soon though, I finished cutting out all the extra wiring, I wired my dash back together with the racepak, my build was definetly not budget friendly either hahahahah

 

your math is wrong FYI

if the original torque removal was 516 pounds it took 90% less energy than the original value, the kroil took 80% less torque, NOW it may look like its double the effectiveness but under the testing it terms it was only 10% more effective under the testing setup

as well there was no way ANYthing was getting it off, we tried the old penny lube and hammer trick, the heat trick and you name it, we got it off tonight, by clamping it into a vice, and my 36" pipewrench almost didnt cut it, it needed my 4' snipe on top of that which means we were well over 1000 ft.lbs just to remove...... was insane, now just waiting on lower cam bolts to fix the alignment

 

Ive been bringing my own booze to moab since i was 18, and have been pulled over 75% of the trips coming down there lol. The truck is so packed full of camping shit and weve been happ and honest where we were going and I dont even think theyve asked if we had booze.

everyone gonna be fine

 

ive brought more than my fair share of whiskey with me too
