Especially when you live in the hood....

 

This is the sort of “overlanding” Dave and I got into at LBL this weekend:



Somebody’s gotta keep his ass grounded.

 

Hard to tell from that picture, but the tire was about a foot and a half off the ground. Started getting a little too tippy for my liking at that point. I am not #floperatorAF.

 

Also I'm just going to quote myself here, because this was an overlanding/mild wheeling trip...

 

Anyone in the Nashville area able to direct me to a reputable shop that will be able to do a CMC for me? 2017 TRD OR. Threw on an OME 888 with Dakar's lift with 285/70/17 and so far it has not been an issue with rubbing but I am so close that it would make me nervous off road. Any guidance would be great.

 

Be sure to post in the Nashville thread. I'm sure there's a few folks who can help you out

 

I’ll do it for you. Are you wanting it plated too?

 

Gotta save those lights on the roof rack!

 

That's probably why it was tippy.

 

Thanks! Yeah I was going to get some plates for it.

 

Order the plates and I can do it for ya.

 

I will now ...

 

Dude, you showed the id #. Can't we all go get keys made now?

 

You know I'm game. May be headed there this Saturday with the Ohio crew if you want to join

Got Gen 2 plates sitting my apartment. Anyone know if theyll fit a 3rd? I would think so.

 

They should? @BlueDevilPharmD post a picture of your cab mount real quick.

I’m pretty sure they would fit the runner

 

Ssssshhhhhhh

 

So here's the real question: WHO WANTS FREE BEER AND PIZZA? Boy do I have a deal for you. I have run into yet another issue. My truck is squeaking reaaaallly bad when turning. The shop thinks that its coming from the ball joint on my UCAs. They said it'll be $400 plus parts to press out both sides and press in new ones. I have a better idea. I've got some DSM Uniballs (that need a little love) that I'd rather thrown on instead. Who in the Knox area has replaced UCAs/Uniballs/UCA bushings?

 

I was in until you said I had to work for the pizza and beer!

Just kidding. Good luck chasing those gremlins!

 

Ghetto fix: find out where the hole is on the UBJ boot, spray degreaser into the hole, then stick a hose in there and flush out all the dirt and grit. Then take a few globs of grease and pack it into the hole where the boot is torn. Repeat until the boot is full. Enjoy quiet operation again.
