NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Nice l! Now you have a lightweight spare

 

@JimSnell You need to stop bothering with the fab gig and go straight into full time shock rebuilding. Im utterly amazed at what shops are charging for rebuilds and their wait times to even get them to rebuild them.

 

Do i need to replace my bushings when I replace the Uniballs in my UCAs?

 

How many miles? Stock OEM ones? Any noise coming from the UCA?

 

Ach sorry I have allpro UCAs with like 30k on them. I need to add a 90* zerk to them too since you cant grease the bushings while the UCAs are on the truck

 

I’m from San Diego and moved to Seattle a year ago and then decided recently that Seattle is a clusterfuck and moved to Bremerton, my uncle lives here to.
Where in Kitsap are you at? Hit me up if you wanna go wheel or farm lead

 

Ooh yeah that sounds like a pain in the ass. They are probably due for some drag grease..

 

yeah I really got nothing on if they need to or not. Personally...I'd probably just do them though.

I live in Port Orchard. But have family (and grew up) in East Bremerton.

 

Nice I’m in Tracyton

 

Ummm no! Some of us still have lots of fab ideas!! And no tubebender or shop to work in ...

 

When exactly do you replace a uniball? By mileage/time?

 

They will quite literally tell you when it’s time

 

Nice. Used to go to The Tracyton for wings quite often before I moved out to Port Orchard

 

What’s The Tracyton? U mean the public house near the boat ramp?

 

Lol yeah. It was always just The Tracyton growing up

 

I would at least grease them if they are not rattling

 

Guess i actually never knew who you worked for lol. I know the couple Praxair drivers who come on base and thats it. Well know enough to say hi and BS with them at least[/QUOTE]

I work for Praxair. I take of the big bulk tanks that sit outside. I'm all over Oregon and S. Washington.

 

Ya, just had the same thing happen. Figured with 185K on 'em the rest weren't far behind so let T of Burien do the work. Gonna pick it up on Friday. Read some threads on DIY rebooting them, but don't have all the tools needed, and it seems like a full day job (I'm sloooowww at this stuff), so the $$ seemed worth the benefit to me of not DIY.

 

Nice. I take care of basically all non bulk, including machines and consumables. Biggest things I move are the 180 liter liquid vessels.

 

Yeah I’m in a similar boat, just shy of rolling my mid life crisis (200k ) but I have a new set coming from CVJ

Had some other front end maintenece to do as well so it kind of worked out
