1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

When I bleed my brakes I have to bleed all 4 corners otherwise it won't feel right.

 

Dont forget the bpv as well. But yeah I thought when you bleed em you gotta do the whole system.

 

So you bleed RR, LR, BPV, RF, LF?

 

Hm I've never done the bpv system...but yeah I always start from the rear passenger then work to the front and end on the front driver side.

 

Thats the sequence I believe

 

Yes minus the BPV...wasn't aware that needed to be done but I will from now on

 

Ok Ill give it a shot tomorrow. Truck stops fine, the pedal just feels inconsistent, like it hangs up halfway down the stroke. Doesn't ever lose pressure. I'm thinking theres air in the master.

 

Guess I'm making a seal driver out of some PVC, can't find one long enough to reach over the crank snout on the Z

 

Dakars don't have a better load rating than stock unless you put AALs in them. Better off going with Expos or custom Alcans or something if you need to carry alot of weight

 

What is squat

 

That’s what I did with my rear main seal. I went to Home Depot and bought a 3” ABS Toilet Flange

 

Nice! Hows those tie rods comming? Dod you get em off?

 

Get on my level.

Pretty sure I was riding the bumpstops for miles.

 

I ditched my Dakars after only a couple months of having them on because the rear sagged on the bump stops with my tent and camping gear...even with an AAL put in both sides. I dunno exactly how much weight it was but I'm guessing around 700lbs. Anyhow I know that OME states that the standard duty Dakars aren't designed to hold any more weight than the OEM leafs were, which is why they make a medium and heavy duty option for later gens...1st gens just have the option of adding AALs

 

Reverse Stinkbug

 

It’s makes the line of sight better.

 

I only bled the BPV because I put the relocation bracket and changed the brake line.

 

Lol, yeah the third gen guys are sensitive! Second gen guys aren't like that.

 

You need to watch your language
