No flip kit for 1st gen?

 

I just realized I have a sawzall and that probably would have worked.

Need a metal cutting blade for it though.

 

There are flip kits for first gens. All pro makes um, relentless, trail gear, I think some others

 

^ Just need to weld lower shock mounts to the axle for 1st gen flip kits.

 

Manly men will use a worn out file and not even break a sweat..

 

What he said

 

dont be this guy, I haven't reinstalled my CV/shafts and still 2wd..won't be able to help with the recovery

 

I considered mentioning that I did tourqe the u-bolts down so I didn't end up like that guy.

 

...in inch lbs or foot lbs?

 

Food lbs

 

Thanks to him I check my u bolts torque religiously especially since doing my rear last month....so I guess some good did come out of that unlucky bastards misfortune

 

I thought those were torqued in German pounds or ugga-duggas

 

A good buddy of mine had a habit of checking his u-bolts as well as other bolts elsewhere often. But he wasnt just checking for tightness, he would give a tiny pull. Basically over time things would be overtorqued. One of his u bolts finally gave it up while on a trail and sheared. It was obvious that they were all overtorqued becaouse the bolts had stretched.

 

I was once like your buddy, starting tomorrow I won’t be

 

I finally bought a new lower steering shaft! Need an upper shaft too but I just couldn't justify the cost of that stupid part when I know it will fail again. So Ill be rigging it up with some bolts. Should be interesting. Besides that I should probably pull the transfer case and fix the seals. I may be back on the road soon.

 

Aight, MFers. Just moved out here from CO two weeks ago. I'm in Redondo Beach now. Gotta go pick up the rest of my shit from CO next weekend, but after that I'm up for fuckery, and wheeling/camping anywhere that doesn't require permits or ban fires. Which in So Cal is apparently like two fucking places. What have I done?

 

I'm just here for equal-opportunity mall crawling. And patches, of course. Ones shaped like the water pump gasket in the products bar.

I love the desert. It's treated me really well in NM, UT, and AZ. I just need to find the section of CA desert where I can blow my suspension up without paying bureaucrats and seeing RVs. Pls help.

 

I am 2wd so helping you locate suspension blowing trails is not my specialty. I am the fire road princess around here
