Alabama thread!

I run 700s and l like the way they ride. They help a lot in sharp curves too if you dont have sway bars

 

Got the automatic shifter in today
Still got to build a fiberglass console to fit around it. But all the metal work is done

 

looks good!

 

To reiterate on Amazon talk a few days ago...nice jump after earnings estimate came out $$

 

@JBTacoma didn’t you replace the spherical bearings on your king coilovers not too long ago?

 

damn is that thing a 3 speed?

 

Yes and I bought the top bushings but they didn't need them

 

Yes Sir, I locked the governor so it is a manual 3 speed. I didnt want it shifting gears on me in mid crawl.

 

Just primed in, still got a little body work to do and I am going to build a fiberglass console around the shifter but it's coming together.

 

Why do you think your are bad, idk if that’s what was squeaking on mine but sprayed them and my lca bushings and it quitened it down but always kinda been worried about um.

 

Take the bottom bolt out and you can see if they are bad

 

Just loose like a worn out bearing?

 

were any of your misaligned spacers fused to the bearing? If so, what did you do to get them off?

 

So some stuff came in from Toyota today bolts an etc. trans mount came in and it’s got the same connection points as the 2wd mount just wider for the output shaft. Anyways from what I’ve learned during this whole thing is this conversion is literally bolt up out side of the crossmember.


Toyota made the frame on the 4wd 1-1/16 lower instead of making the removeable crossmember lower. How Toyota like. Everything is plug in play from my trans to the new one except that.

why the heck would they make a different frame instead of a simple removable crossmember is beyond me l.

 

Yes and all scared up, here is new and old.

 

I use pliers to twist them out

 

4Wheel Parts is the cheapest place to get them. Other places are cheaper on the part but charge crazy shipping. 4WP shipping was $6. They may not even charge shipping if you pick them up at the store

 

Any idea on miles on yours I bought these shocks used, prolly need to start buying parts that and change the uniballs on my uca I’ve got an odd turning pop every once in awhile.

 

I am getting a big order for the rebuild from poly performance that’ll have the bearings in it. Just struggling to get a couple of the spacers out

 

There should be 0 play in them.
