NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I just redid my LCAs and checked everything attached to the coilovers. I went on the meetup run recently and it got MUCH worse. Haven’t checked the trans/motor mounts didnt occur to me it could be that

 

And check all the suspension again. I just had to re torque a Lca bolt and haven't messed with that stuff in over a year.

 

I'm tempted to take it into a shop just top get a second set of eyes on it, but i know itll be something stupid and obvious i missed

 

My truck makes sounds similar to what describe, and it's the body mounts. I just haven't gotten around to fixing it.

 

Oh shit, I wonder if i fucked it up when I did my CMC

 

Lower control arm bushings? but that would be too obvious...

 

Just replaced them

 

Thanks. I'm running 285/70/17s

We made it up to where a subaru and f150 decided to back down the entire trail with a spotter. Climbed up the side of a ridge with @drr and managed to grab a nice tree there. Were there better pickings up top? I might try to go earlier next time before it gets too crowded...or do a snow wheeling trip elsewhere?

 

Yeah, I'd check the body mount.

Ive been chasing this for MONTHS. THANK YOU. I was worried my front end would fall apart on the interstate. Not 100% this is it but this is extremely promising. The linked video is exactly what mine sound like.

 

Just got done making brake lines for a guy doing a 3rd Gen solid axle swap.
Hoping he's on here to see the outcome.

 

You may just need to blackmail him into being on here if he's not.

 

I meant LOWER Heim joint, NOT upper..still have to take out the strut to press in and out tho..

Video very similar to my noise except I had a squeak over bumps as well.

 

Dem is purrrty!

 

I make these all the time for torfab in Everett. I love seeing them drive by with their custom swapped land cruisers.

 

He said he’s swapping the solid axle from an 80s yota, and he’s hit nothing but problems

 

First problem I see is the diff is on the wrong side and, #2 the axle is narrower.

 

Simple, just turn it upside down.

 

Instant high pinion!

 

Want to make me a clutch line for my FJ40 >.>
