geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Hence why im throwing mine behind the seat

 

Yeah I’m installing mine tomorrow or Monday will let ya know

 

Snap some pics if you can and let me know how bad the install is. Doesn't seem too bad at all and if it means zero vibes, I'm down.

 

Another "summer hour" day and I got off at 1pm.

Stopped at Ace for some fly traps and the gym on the way home. Once home, I emptied the catch can and installed the @mesojdm lights and I have to say they are very high quality and VERY bright even in the daytime!!

eBay generic LED versus meso:



Dome light:



Done!!



Have a pig roast that the wife and I host almost every year. The party is next weekend. Started working on some things around the house and garage. First up was cleaning up the garage a bit and I got my workbench nice and clean:



Hung the fly trap:



Also cleaned out the garbage can with bleach. Once garbage day comes and goes, I will clean the other one on Monday. Also did some yard work and cleaned up a bit.

Finally, went to the dollar store with the wife for some cheap party supplies. The dog is ready to party:

 

Thanks @boogie3478 for the info!!



Also picked up a brake bleeder, vise grips and 4" C-clamps

 

While that brake bleeder will work just fine, you might want to consider replacing the bleed screws with Speed Bleeders. They make brake bleeding a one person job.

There are some thread on here about them.

I put some in last time I messed with my brakes - they made a world of difference.

 

Do you have a link to the parts or a part number?

So my vibe/hum is gone. New wheel hub assembly, new CV axle, but most importantly was the ECGS bushing I think.

 

Nice man.

How bad was the install? Looking to get the bushing, but the cost is making me hold off.

 

So the dealership installed it since they were doing the CV and hub anyway. Part of my accident claim. But I really don’t think it would be that bad

 

Guess I find out tonight if I have a 1000 ft/lb screw or if it was installed by a child..

(g)ASSHOLE delivered!!



Really good, quality piece of plastic.

 

Hope it's not 1000 ft/lbs..or this will be my wrists..

 

You really have to see it to believe how tight that damn screw is.

 

Well, it wasn't easy, but it also wasn't hard to remove. The screw wasn't mangled and I reused it once the gasshole was installed:




Also, relocated my fire extinguisher out of the bed (just rolled around freely) to behind the rear passenger seats. Really love this molle panel mod and maybe I'll get some quik fists to secure it. For now, it'll just hang out back there:



Lastly, received my new u-bolt flip kit from Wheeler's..like my cam tab gusset kit, no candy



There's a plan to go wheelin' next weekend, the 11th, and these will need to be installed before then otherwise, bye bye superbumps. Perhaps Sunday after we clean up from the party, I can take an house and get the old shit cut and removed and the new kit on.

 

Anyone have recommendations for aftermarket mufflers? Prefer minimal noise and no drone. I will have to check again, but I think there is a sizable rust spot forming in my stock muffler. Noticed something when I was installing my axle shims. I was too exhausted by the time I finished to go back and look. Perhaps I will check it out Sunday if I can find time to install the new u-bolt flip kit.

 

Thanks dude.

I will have to listen to some sound clips. It just sucks when a lot of the videos are filmed right next to the exhaust. Sucks. If you have any videos you recommend, send 'em my way.
