NW WA Meet / BS Thread

On a positive note, all the frustration will be spent and taken out on axle shafts today. New rear bearings and seals to go on. Here's to no mushrooming the splined end of the shafts.

 

you should be able to put normal snap rings in places of the spirolox. pretty sure mine are

 

Excellent.

 

yeah not a fan of teh crap they use to hold in the uniball and other joints. once those get rusted its damn impossible to remove the clips

 

Me neither. It seemed like they just allow dirt and road crap to get in between the layers of the spirolox easier.

 

Anyone have experience/review of the readylift steering arms? Or should I just get some OEM and throw them in toolbox?

 

Thanks @JimSnell for letting me use the notcher, let me know how many leaf /coil springs your roommate wants. I have A few sets laying around

Has anyone relocated the E locker switch? Thinking of putting it overhead and converting it to a standard rocker style

 

Also saw this meme, relevant to this place

Hey all. My friends had their 1984 Land Cruiser stolen last night in Ballard. It’s a brown 4 door. Last four of the plate is 1301. If you happen to see it please give me a call. 2063841647

 

oh man. so sorry to hear. sos if seen.

 

just relocating the switch, from the dash to next to the compass

 

I get times are hard but come on who steals a $20 shackle worst part is it takes 2 weeks for a new one to come in

 

This is why I keep mine inside the truck. Also, one less thing to go through my window if someone really wants in that bad.

 

im sorry man. asshats.

 

I never understood why people left shackles out like that. To me, it always said "hey come steal me." It takes 10 seconds to remove and really piss someone off. Hopefully you don't need one until a new one comes in, Filip.

 

Hope so too never had a problem with it but lesson learned!

 

I used my winch to drag a couple blow downs around the property and was lazy and left one on. After about a week I noticed the bolt was backed about 3/4 of the way out. Maybe it fell off.

 

It was definitely there last night so I’m assuming stolen. The money is definitely not an issue to get a new one just an annoying inconvenience

 

@bobsuruncle, might have to weld these things on at your place. I TIGed the standoffs on, now i can’t get to to TIG welder because Kevin shoved his airplane in the bay
