Got the job! 3 more dollars an hour and it'll be 5 miles from the new casa!

 

Ya don’t say

 

Lesson learned.

 

Congrats

Drinks are on you

 

Hmm...the amount of rust on those things tells me they've been on for quite some time?

Get some OEM lbjs, or at the very least 555

 

Congrats man, living close to work is the bees knees. I've been 8 miles from work for the last few years, 15 min commutes FTW

 

Bro....

Congratulations
Well done

 

After it’s done being a commuter car this is the plan. Drop it on like a Blazer frame or something.

 

Less than a year. The Midwest is awesome, isn’t it?

 

Definitely isn't.

Glad I left.

 

It's your fault for not inspecting it
I kid I kid, plenty here would have you believe the inferior aftermarket LBJs aren't inferior after all, but they are of inferior quality compared to the OEM part. The rusty part sucks but worse, it's the actual quality and design of the inside(or lack thereof) that makes the aftermarket ones junk. There is a member here who has cut these ball joints and the OEM and others in half to see these internal differences. It's easily visible and apparent why the cheap ones suck.
Either way glad the lesson was learned without the LBJ failing on you and leaving a huge repair bill and tow

 

Yes! Congrats!!!!

 

It's worth noting that a ton of parts, quality or not, come bare metal nowadays instead of paint/powder coated

 

Yeah the rusty outside of it sucks, but the failure of our LBJs happens due to internal problems. Or is it the rust on the aftermarket ones that causes the stud to snap or that ridge/lip to fail? I dunno
Either way, just confirming for our homie here what he found on his own, thankfully before the joint actually failed.

Oh wow, plenty of detail if one wants to zoom in on that pic.... *shivers

 

You have any clue why the ac button on my car would flash and compressor disengages around water? Works mint when dry and a few seconds after the puddle i splashed through

 

Check the connector on the compressor duh

 

Oops forgot this
