I'm surprised you didn't cement in your anchors.

 

Dooo itttt!

^ I thought the exact same thing

 

Liquid Nail isn't cracked concrete rated. If you use wedge anchors, they will be enough to mechanically hold whatever you want. Just be sure to blow as much of the concrete dust out of the hole as you can. Wedge anchors can "anchor" to the dust and then fail at the worst possible point. Not trying to tell you how to build your man cave, just trying to pass on my anchor knowledge.

 

He cemented in a big dildo though

When I was still in the TelCo world mounting cabinets and DC power racks, we typically used big ol fat Red Head sleeve anchors. Hammer in, torque em til the head snaps!
Had 3 pins that would shear off the larger torquing head to reveal the smaller anchor nut/head and you were done.

But my Google search revealed no results. Maybe it wasn't Red Head brand, or maybe they don't carry them anymore. Suckers were big, about 4-5" or longer and 1/2 or 5/8 diameter.

 

^ If 4-5" long is big to you then I feel bad for your wife/girlfriend.

 

Fify

 

3" gets a lot done

 

You would know

 

I think Hilti makes something like that. I know Powers does.

 

Got the CB in today. For now it goes in the pile with the other mod parts in need to put on. @EdinCincinnati and @mwc273 thanks guys, much appreciated.

 

I'll help you install it. Mt Washington Ky...just south of Louisville...

 

May have to take that offer, if I ever get enough time off work.

 

I've installed hundreds of Red Heads. J bolts are the best but definitely a pain if the concrete slump is runny. No need for liquid nails with Red Heads, they work fine by themselves. One tip is to install the nut first then hammer the Red Head into the hole. Nothing more frustrating than trying to thread on a bold to smashed threads. Just my 2 cents.

 

Funny you should mention that. That tip is part of the instructions on the box now.

 

Where am I showing up Saturday to install someone's suspension and drink the beer that they will be providing me?

 

Better idea....show up and coach someone how to install suspension & drink the beer provided.

 

If we don’t have access to the garage that we worked on @presta24 truck, we have a spacious driveway in union ky.

 

Not sure how free I will be Saturday. I wouldn't plan on the lift this weekend .
