Morning Maner and folks.

 

Good morning, all!

 

I slept in pretty late(late for me at least) today, Worn out from yesterday. I didnt take many pics during the intall. I'm going to get out and check that every things still tight today after the drive home last night and i'm trying to find someplace open on a sunday to get an eye exam and get me glasses made today. We got a LOT done yesterday! Shackle Hangers and AAL are installed on the rear and new front shocks, ECGS bearing, Gusseted spindles are all in on the front! I'm going to grab some more pics when I check that everything is still tight later today.

 

Nice work on the shackle hangers! what did yall use to get them off? Im hoping to get to this today myself. Planning on using a thin cut off wheel to cut the heads off and then a rented ball joint press to pop the rivets out

 

Cutting disc to cut the heads 2/3-3/4 off and then air hammer to pop the rest of it off. Cleaned up a little more with the cutting disc and then a plasma torch to burn through the remaining part of the rivet.

 

Dang, that sounds hella easier than what I was planning.... i wonder if I can rent a plasma torch

 

It seemed way easier. I was working on the front when that was going down. @Zac of all trades was the one that used the plasma to finish off the rivets.

 

That sounds much easier than drilling.

But having @ETXTacoma do all the work is even easier.

 

Hmmm like this idea, have stayed away from them due to getting them off as I have the torch.

 

Also, Maner, I need to try some of this food I missed out on! Looks delicious in the pics.

 

Good Morning Eddie
