Just the inner tripod joint. It should be fairly easy...once you get the CV separated from the hub. (see above discussion). Just unclamp the boot and remove the tripod joint cup. The tripod is just held on with a snap ring so once you get that off it should slide right off. there will be another snap ring on the other side of the tripod you'll have to take off, then the old boot should slide off. Just slide the new boot on, put the tripod and snap rings back on, fill the cup with grease and reclamp the boot. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.

If you want to reboot the outer while you're there, you can do that one too without taking apart the birf.

 

Sounds fairly simple. I know for sure my driver side will come out easily since I've had that apart before. I'd imagine the pax side will be fairly easy as well. Pretty sure the outer boots are okay. Its the inners that are rubbing.

 

I'm trying to decide if I wanna drop c-note on a set of 555 upper ball joints for the OGT. The ones I have now are lifetime warrantied, but they go bad after about a year on the truck. Kinda tired of replacing them and I'm hoping the 555 joints are a lot more durable, as I discovered with my inner tie-rods. Problem is they are only warrantied for a year.

 

Time to bend some tube and get these 3 orderes done.

 

Orders for what? It looks good, what is it?

 

Full length bed rack 3 bed bars and 2 sets of sliders to make. The bed rack and bed bars are top priority since they have been paid for already




It’s a roguefab tube bender

 

Nice! #Timbo’s Customs

 

Yes sir. Getting some solid axle swap money hopefully. Haha

Tim welds are looking dam good man. I think I'm more pumped about my bed bars than my HC bumper. I was also considering having you clean up my cmc if your interested.

Just an FYI

 

Install time

 

Done! Pretty happy with how it came out. Especially with it being my first fabrication project.

 

Nice!

Second Fab project.... Weld something up to fill in the area under the tail light. I'm sitting here as we speak trying to figure out how to do so myself on Tim's truck lol

 

Yea I was looking at that. Maybe get some thin plate and bend it to fit that spot. Would definitely clean it up and complete the look.

 

Looks great! Good work!

 

I'll have these sliders up for sale in 3 weeks. Will fit a 2nd gen 4 door shortbed or an access cab long bed. $350 installed if someone is interested

There might be another one sooner, but I'm not sure because I'm skeerd of Hardrock for a while so I'm not paying much attention. The OGT is getting a bunch of new stuff on the front end and I'd like to keep it all functional for a while, lol.
