Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Absolutely. Chance of winning is about as slim as catching the corona virus, but hey - anything is possible!

 

Hmm then perhaps I will try.

 

Hey neighbors, wondering if anyone has the cutting template for the 05-15 ARB safari snorkel? Im located in San Diego and would be willing to pay shipping/a few bucks if someone would throw it in the mail

 

@lesterb315 did you buy one?

 

Yup, have the old fender it’s coming off too but I figured I’d try this route first before I try tracing off the old holes to make my own

 

Oh, wrong quote, but thanks for the reference!

 

@Eastcoastin I don’t have it anymore, i tossed it when I finished mine up. Sorry man

 

No worries thanks anyway man

 

Yo party people. Have any of you replaced your LBJ's before? I'm due for them I think. I'm at 210k. I have my shop check them every 3k when I go in for an oil change. The tech said they are "rock solid" but I am afraid of them failing on me.

 

That what I thought. I just dont want to mess it up and die lol. Mostly worried about getting them apart.

 

Free beer?

 

From what I heard it’s a straight forward job and can be done by yourself. Also it’s not hard to check them yourself, might give you some peace of mind

 

I’m in HB. Pretty far from you.

always.

yeah I’ve watched the video on it. The failures just sketch me out. When I jack up the truck in a pry bar they feel solid. But I do have some popping sometimes but I think it’s my sway bar as the bushings are shot.

 

Probably is
I'm in Costa Mesa if you want some help

 

awesome I appreciate it! I still have to order parts. I need to do my brakes before I do anything. Do tie rods need to be oem or can i go with moog?

 

If that’s the case why not try disconnecting the sway bar and see if the noise goes away. Or maybe just the end links

 

i might take it off and see. It only happens every so often. My suspension is fairly noisy overall when going angled up a driveway and such. That seems normal though. The popping happens more so when turning left fast or right fast. Not really going over bumps.

 

I’m not sure what exactly that is but it sounds familiar to what I was hearing when one of my sway bar end links bent. Could be something else, although every part of my suspension makes noise

 

first gen probs?

all my end links and what not are shot lol. My upper UCA boots have been torn for like 2 years leaking grease.

 

20 year old truck problems

My end link came destroyed when I bought the green truck, been driving around with half a sway bar engaged.... it’s interesting hahah. Might wanna fix the uppers before those blow out. Hey at least your taco doesn’t have failing clear coat, both of my 1st gens do
