The Lair

@EatSleepTacos snow showers Saturday and Tuesday

 

That's a lot of toolboxes.

 

I ask because I had no idea what I was doing, but watched some YouTube videos and picked up a dual action polisher from Harbor Freight and went to town on my car. It came out really good.

I didn't take any pics today after alignment This will have to do.

 

Like this guy. Needs a rack on top of tool boxes.. I think Randell tagged me in this picture a long time ago

 

Did you get the numbers you wanted?

 

Made some extended bars to hold the battery out of all thread so @Blackout14 doesnt have to tell on me.



Also did a test run with the hi lift and jeepneedssam shackle adapter. I'm glad I did, because it didn't work with my demello bumper. @Subway4X4 when you jack from this point, does your bumper/truck creak and pop like a son of a bitch?



Did some slider jacking as well. Man to hi lifts sketch me out.

 

what is this? should have had @Shmellmopwho make you one

 

I did! The tech was cool as shit. I hung out and watched him because I was curious how it worked, and had told him exactly what numbers I wanted. He called me back a few times until we dialed it in. I got my 0* toe/camber and I'm up at 3.0/3.4 caster on each side, which is way more than my 1.5 on stock UCAs

 

It's this

Kind of like a safety lock for slider high lifting?

 

No, it attaches to the hi lift, and then attaches to the shackle mount on your bumper. It's so you can safely jack from the shackle mounts.

 

Yup. Everything creaks and groans on my truck. Especially when I jack it up.

i've been using HilLifts for over three decades. They still SCARE the hell out of me when I use it.

But you're doing all the right things to mitigate some of the inherent risks.

 

I'm trying, and you've been a big help which I really appreciate.

 

@EatSleepTacos is safe. My co-pay was Zero.

Co-Pays suck. Most people have to pay for it. You and me are one of the lucky few that don't.

 

I am going to get alignment in morning after installing new TC ucas. Did you gain or loose any clearance around the cab mount with 0toe/0camber/3caster?

 

I'm not sure to be honest as I didn't check. Theoretically I should have gained clearance, as I increased caster, pushing the tire further forward in the wheel well.

 

My god this place is bumping during the day! Makes it hard to keep up! I even came on twice today to read some so I didn't have a novel to read when I got home hahaha
