Yea, there are threads on here about some being a half a quart low right from the factory. It's definitely not right that's for sure. That was my recommendation to Kevin too late last night, "Call the dealer first thing and have them come and get it". Like you (and I said) said, it's brand new and under warranty. Fuck that noise.

 

Anyone interested in a project Bass Tracker? Known issues...soft deck needs replaced, instruments need to be rewired. Has a 70 Evinrude/Johnson. Hasn't been run in 3yrs.

 

Morning MD.

 

Could be a nice little boat again with some wrenching. How much and where is it located?

 

Just may be! Thanks!

 

Mornin' Sir

 

How much?

 

Scooped up some Griot's 3 in 1 ceramix wax on sale at Advance Auto. Stuff looks like pea soup, but it gets good review. Gonna try it on the Tundra and boat since it's supposed to stand up to marine saltwater environments. We'll see. Gotta stay shined up so I look good cruising the daycare parking lot and pulling up at the fuel dock.

 

Anyone done the strut assemble on their truck before? What I mean is, having the truck compress the spring using a jack and Luca to get everything on. The top hat would already be in place. I can save quite a bit of money buying the lift I’m eyeing but buying the strut mount kits from Amazon. I’ve seen the video floating around here and it looks pretty easy. The lift in question is the Ironman foam cell pro stage 1 and going to get spc uppers to go with em. They are adjustable coil overs as well, if I buy the spanner wrench.
Just putting feelers on thought of people that have done it out there.

 

damn boat should be out on the water ketchin feesch

 

I've got a wall mounted strut spring compressor at my home garage. You are more than welcomed to use it, just gotta bring the parts to my house. I'm in dundalk not far from 95.

 

This guy @EatSleepTacos could explain it better than me. He will also probably have a link to the thread with pics showing it. If I remember correctly it isn't that hard but there is an certain order how it needs to be done.

 

Super duper easy. I've done it countless times.

That’s a pretty nice setup you have there. I might have to take you up on that. Thanks for offering, that’s probably much easier than doing it on the truck as well.

 

These are the videos I watched, I think there was one more as well. Looks relatively safe too. It’s why I looked at doing it myself rather than paying an extra 160. That can go towards a spanner wrench or the UCAs.

 

Fuck! Or videos!!!!!
