    I have two cousins that I grew up with that are lifetime criminals now. As young boys we were kids and acted as kids. Games fun bikes fight whatever. We were typical kids. My aunt found meth and found out how to make it. Decided it could be beneficial if her kids learned how to make it. Better sales maybe? Anyway I moved away at 16 to Michigan but parents moved away so we lost touch with our cousins. Find out later that my aunt was in prison and so were my two cousins. Sadly, one of them contacted me and so did my aunt asking me to get him a job. I said yes I’ll always help family out. Sadly he couldn’t pass a drug test any of the three times.

    Anyway, they quit calling and he’s back in the system. Just not a life to live but I will be there for them if they ever call me for any reason. They never had a chance.

    Overall I’m thankful for what happened as I grew up. Could have joined the crowd but instead saw so much negative that came from it I was destined to never go that path. My kids will also grow up in a drug free environment whether it’s with our whole family or just me and my 3 daughters.

    I have everything needed to get it road worthy. I just need to find time to get with @nagorb and have him weld in the spring perches on the axle. I hope to start bolting it all together this week while I'm off.

    I don't think the washer is supposed to be there. What do instructions say? Mine are trashed. Also if you look on their Instagram I haven't seen one installed with washer yet.

    Edit - nm was looking at wrong insta. They have them with and without....so I don't know..

    This is a step by step install for a T4R. I would imagine it's the same.

    Measure it at the biggest part, do you have Calipers to measure it?

    Yes according to these instruction it says on Step 8: Make sure you place the washer between the rubber boot and above the steering knuckle.

    As soon as I get the truck sound/vib figured out, I'll get onto the trailer.

    I was just reading that. Good suggestions from folks so far, another option if the cb drop doesn't work is axle shims.

    I really hope the cb fixes it. It's just got me frustrated right now. I can't stand hearing the sound. I swear it seems to get louder each time :rofl:

    Morning y’all! Phil, I got a brand new set of 4 crawler 2 degree shims and center pins if you need some. I bought em for my slight vibes, but they went away, so I was going to list em for sale here.
