DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

New shoes and full size spare

 

​

 

I could come to supervise but not concerned with replacing the bushing on my truck right now. Did you guys get any diff fluid? You'll need that, the pump for the fluid bottle, a bearing driver kit and a seal puller in addition to the special bushing tool and bushing. I need to install my AAL and bump stops this weekend but i can do that at home. @Silverspool needs his stuff done and i don't know if there will be enough time before i have to be elsewhere around 3.

 

Yeah thats what I was thinking too. Just do @Silverspool stuff and hold off on bushings until next time. I can bring it with me and you can have yours @Naveronski.

 

There should be enugh time for your AALs if you go after me, not doing the full snorkel install, just the cuts, ll finish the install at home. So ucas, coilovers, cut 2 large holes

 

Didn't realize it was that involved, so I have none of those.

 

I can bring the tools if you want to try to take care of yours this weekend after @Silverspool is done with his truck.

 

I don't suppose anyone has the required diff fluid, pump, bearing driver kit or seal puller?

 

I might have to put this off until I can order whatever else I need.

 

These are coming in the near future.

 

Between @Geremy and I, we have all of the tools needed. Just need the fluid. I can't remember how long it took to replace, since i was doing a front coilover swap at the same time. I'd think probably 1-1.5 hrs per truck start to finish. Probably not enough time on Saturday to do 3 trucks after Frank is done but we can do yours though.

 

i might have some fluid i think i have 3 or 4 bottles

Also anyone got a link to the hood struts yall keep talking about...

 

Mine was the one with ECGS done. Found a shard in needle bearing too, even though it was stock, under 20k miles and only street driven. I will try to stop by for a bit, bearing beers and a baby.

There was a groupbuy that ended just 2 weeks ago, which is why all the talk about them. The $100 one was $75 and the $130 one was $100.

Yeah, although we don't have to look under the hood often, its still nice not to prop up the hood with a metal rod like a f'ing plebeian

 

I likey, those are a good looking and popular wheel already

 

I kinda figured they would be pretty popular being icon, I just happen to come across them in one of my youtube rabbit holes. I had never seen them before that

 

'Guess I will be a pleb for a while then.


Realized it got harder to do stuff engine wise as the truck is now higher so the center hoop is more in the way now...
