@Dave41079 has the best place for truck modifications . . . the whiskey stash makes up for the lack of a garage and lift.

 

Those aren't scars, you could get most of them out with a little polish...

 

Yes.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

 

He's an idiot and he's insane.

Real reason.

 

Pretty much what they said. To fit 35s you need to cut just a few small things but anything larger and some of the wheel well has to come out. I'm cutting out more then I need to right now so at some point when I get 37s, they should clear no problem. I'm also doing this because I off-road my truck and with the suspension fully compressed, big tires will get into everything where as its much easier to fit bigger tires if all you do is drive on the street as you just have to clearance for ride height.

And welcome man. Good first question

 

I'll keep posting pics of fitting bigger tires and how cool they look to keep y'all motivated. Haha

 

All you Harlen bound TN folks have a fun weekend.

 

AOP will be more fun

 

Because better people

 

Just drove to work and throw out bearing(I'm guessing) doesn't sound very happy. Constant chirp while in gear, sounds like a belt slipping when changing gears.

Supposed to drive to Harlan in 4 hours and park the truck for the weekend. 230mi one way, 90% intersate so minimal clutch work.

Do I need to switch vehicles or should I let it ride?

 

After some quick Googling that seems to be the smart thing to do. My plans are so jacked now lol

 

This is true.
Im going one way or another though. Burned a 1/2 day of vacation so I'm getting my money's worth lol. My camping situation will be interesting if I can't make it up to the campsite.

 

You will be just fine. Your throw out bearing is just that, a bearing. The lining wears out and it turns into metal rubbing metal. Also like most bearings, put some grease on it and the sound will go away. Your trans will have a service window that will allow you to reach the bearing and clutch fork. Put a little bit of high temp grease on both or just don't worry about it. Highway miles aren't wear on a throw out bearing. Hell you don't even need the damn thing except getting out of first gear.

 

Will ATF work? You're saying I'm fine to drive it 500 miles, yes? Can I drive it and wait to grease it once home? It drives fine just makes a racket.

 

Good deal

This. If driven cars for months with bad throw out bearings. Of course I also only used the clutch from a stop. Rev matching is a beautiful thing.

 

I've never did the no clutch shifting but I suppose it's a good time to learn.

 

That's a damn good deal. Those coilovers alone are $1500 and 20k miles ain't shit. Even if they need a rebuild, you are $80 into that and if they aren't extended travel, open them up and remove the internal spacer and now they're extended travel.

 

Yeah just drive it. You said it just started? It's not even close to being dangerous yet, if it were even dangerous at all. Remember when I went to Miami to pick up that red FRS? The clutch was slipping and it clearly needed a new TOB. I drove it 500 miles home and back and forth to work for 3 months without giving it any thought. My truck is another example. Anytime you are in water up to the trans, the clutch, flywheel, TOB, clutch fork and trans input shaft are all under water. That's not a sealed compartment. My TOB is basically never properly lubed and makes noises constantly. As Dave said, combine all this with the fact you can basically drive without it, its just not something to worry about. Go enjoy your weekend.
