Well not this week. as soon as I’m done with mine I can discuss. I will try to take photos of the progress at important steps but no promises.

 

Exactly for a similar application

 

no rush, i still Gotta find the time to snag the spare temp unit. I’m confident i can Do the rear fairly easily, the clamshell and installing my ARB is a different story

 

I was hoping to have the truck wrapped up today, but my transmission said "YOU'RE NOT DONE YET!"

I'm 50/50 on if there was just condensation built up in the tranny pan and that caused the discoloration or if I've got something else going on like radiator is fucked.

Also I wasn't careful enough when swapping tcases and must have damaged the rear seal since it was damp where the tcase and trans mate. I guess I'll be doing a transmission swap too.

Anyone got a 2012+ cab? Cause that's about the only thing left on this truck I haven't replaced yet.

 

If you google 10/22 solvent traps they make some that don’t obscure your sights.

 

I’ve never done an ARB before but it’s basically just a replacement for the carrier so..... watch some YouTube vids on setting lash and adjusting shim thickness to get it all lined up. Like I said it seems intimidating but it’s not that bad.

 

I should also add that I have pretend to be “working” from home as well.
As a life long trades guy its BRUTAL!!!!!

 

Anybody else feel like this is there life right now?

Lol, we’ve gone from non essential to essential to non essential back to essential. I guess Concrete Finishers are kinda essential. A lot of our jobs fall under critical path. DOT shut down all their work... but we are told we will still be building the roundabout in Anacortes.

 

HOLY SHIT! That’s my wife. I will deny I said this. This post will self destruct in 3, 2......

 

Fucking A! Nailed it! She shows me this then tells me we are down to two gallons of milk and I need to run into town to get more.

 

that is some interesting porridge in that pan. yoohoo or malted milk?

 

albany ga is were im originally from

 

got this today

 

looks awesome!

 

thanks. seemed to have picked up some pretty good MPG. the tire on the back acts like a huge air brake. with the topper it seems to solve that problem

 

Well shit realizing how much shit I have laying around from upgrading the bumpers now that I am moving. Everybody just tossing their old front reinforcement bar, OEM tow hitch (not compatible with the aluminess rear bumper), mud flaps..., OEM calipers, air box, UCAs, sway bar and wheel bearings or are you rebuilding and selling your parts? Man feeling like a hoarder right about now haha or an episode of my strange addiction of hoarding parts I’ll never use unless I get an older pickup lol.

 

i thought you may have bought a different truck as ive never seen yours. what did you coat the bottom portion with? ive brush and rolled herculiner on my job box but found out you need to paint over it for it to last.

 

what is this for?
trying to wrap my head around how this works...
