NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Auto skill center on JBLM bring a grill and offer beer ?

 

I thought you where going to fortune creek

 

The reinforcement points are on the underside of the frame from where the other mounting points are.

There are three points each side spaced out evenly. I'd be comfortable lifting it from how it's currently mounted if I needed to.

 

Good point.....

 

I'll say, I bought material and tried it on my own, and fucked it up. Having him do it cost barely more than the cost of what I fucked up. And he made it look retardedly easy

 

Leaving tomorrow around noon Van epps pass, maybe van epps mine and then Gallagher. If you don’t hear from me by 16-18:00 on Monday come looking

 

If its just the outer tie rod they are super simple to do. Remove tire, remove cotter pin, remove nut, either tap the spindle with a hammer or just beat the outer tie rod out, match mark inne rand outer joint, use two wrenches to break it from the inner and unscrew it while counting turns. Grab new one, screw in however many turns the old one is, put back in hole, tighten nut, install cotter pin. Not a bad idea to get an alignment after but the counting turn method will be "close enough"

 

bruh, i got you

let me know when

 

ok, my 2 cents worth. 1st, weld on is much better. But, I had All Pro bolt ones, which basically gusset the entire frame length, which is good. Bad is that every year I would remove them and scale off the rust between them and the frame. Had to drill about 16 holes. Sucked. They were very strong tho, and many here can attest to my use of them to pivot my limo around rocks and trees, etc.
If I do it again it’ll be weld ones.

 

Wish I never sold that truck.
Still looking for the right FJ. Maybe next year.

 

tie rods arent hard.

 

Have you driven an FJ? I test drove two before i went with a AC taco

 

Oh man.

Heads up went to gallagher 2 days ago. Last half mile we had to stop and ended up walking up. Another group of 5 rigs were coming up as we were coming down they probably were commited to making it up up 3 having winches.

 

If they were coking up they were def committed to the drive

 

Yes....ran into some "snow"

 

LOL yes you can and thank you!

 

Remember my GF Devon? She has that Nordic Viking-woman-blood, she knows how to run a shovel.

Hopefully they broke the trail for us

 

They did and in all seriousness if we had a winch I'd have taken a crack at it

 

Nice man pm me the info and i will Check it out.

 

If you’d have taken a crack at it...then i can get there

upgrade your truck
