Great White Taco build

$40k?

 

$40k Canadian, so like $3.04 USD.

 

Ahh yes! Love their conversion rates. Thats good, right @3pooches ?

 

Ok, so i grabbed a caliper today and measured my carrier bearing spacer setup. It is 11mm total. Its the OME FK29 (or whichever number). And I also added a thick washer to get some more height (3mm).

I measured the new one that i bought just so id have matching bolts, and its 8mm. I was reading someone else's build, and they used some 1x1" tube to make a spacer.

I think ill test that out before i replace the carrier bearing. It didnt have much play, which i hope means it's still good.. now to make a 13-15mm thick spacer, instead of stacking washers to fix my take off vibes.

Man, i love making little projects to my ever growing list of stuff to do

 

Someone needs to take the internet away from me. And damn these tax return sales adding more crap to the pile for install.

 

Yeah, that definitely sucks. Interwebs are Evil!!!

 

Maybe I missed it... When are you vibrating?? Why'd you figured it's a CB issue?
Not trying to be a dick, just curious

 

From 0-5mph i have a slight vibration. Usually due to the lift. Most people try to space out the driveshaft or add shims. OME has a spacer kit for ~$15 or so. I have one now with an added washer, but still have the vibes. Going to try to make a slightly larger spacer to help. If not, I'll probably sell my separate kit, and just live with it

 

@Arcticelf hornblasters.com has 10% off and free shipping

 

you have hangers or a shackle flip ? Shackle flip solved all my vibes. It lowers the rear spring mount putting a better angle on the drive shaft, at least thats my theory. My truck use to buck like a bronco at 20mph

 

I have hangers but not installed yet. The vibes aren't that bad..

 

Train horns shipped already. Ordered last night around 10pm.

 

Nice! One of the most essential mods, lol

 

Everyone will love me more

 

Does it come with it's own compressor and tank?

 

I will be piecing it together. I have a compressor already. Found a 4 gallon tank on Amazon. Then just need to get some 3/8" air line, tank cutoff, and a button

 

Oh, OK. Gotcha!

So, you basically could leave your compressor turned On a whole day without an issue. It will kick in only when needed, right?

 

I could, but I would use the compressor to fill the tank, and then use the tank until it reaches the low point on the switch.

Something like this. I need to figure out how to wire it in.
