NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I know right? And it's carbon fiber.

 

cant remember if i used it for the seal or bearing, its been like 4 or 5 years since i did it

 

Yeah, these LCAs have the bushings and ball joint all installed, straight replacement for stock. I did have to drill out a little material inside to fit the bolt for my LCA skids but it wasn't much.

When it was all said and done with the amount I spent on a dozen cans of paint and stuff to prep I probably spent 75% of what powder coat would've cost.

 

Yup I made that mistake with my sliders too. They are welded on now so I have to clean them, tape up my truck and coat them in truck bedliner. Take it to Seattle Powder Coat when you're ready to get it redone.

 

Lol plenty I don't know. More like being like @bobsuruncle and having to do things multiple time.

As for the diff seals...soft face hammer is all I use. Just tap around the edge in circles. The bearing....pretty sure I used a bearing/seal driver for that? Been awhile since I've done one

 

Oh yeah we all know @bobsuruncle is the king of the know-it-all’s haha from experience!

 

I used a piece of PVC with the right OD to press in a similar oil seal on my pressure washer.

 

Thank you for that. Him and his wife are looking to be able to take the travel trailer, and be able to park it, drive around, then hook up again and move on. The air bags might give a rough ride without the trailer.

So $13 or so pay cut. Also take into account that cost of living is a little less, and houses cost a lot less. $600k might get you into a dump over there, but will buy a lot more here.

I had some vibes after I lifted my taco that I figured was driveline. It hit about 40-45. Pull the carrier bearing off, stack a couple washers under each side, and put it back together. Washers are cheap and easily obtained.

 

My local got a pretty good contract negotiation a few years ago, it would be closer to a $22 pay cut. I would love to live over that way but I’ll probably have to stay here until I’ve built up my retirement and more equity in my house ​

 

If anyone's got questions I can definitely tell you how not to do it.

 

well im on that list too. still plagued with driveline vibes til jimmy has time to machine a spacer. and get me good to go for dirty 5's again.

 

Well then, does CVJ reman this problem. CV joint exploded today after getting stuck momentarily possibly abused previously lol

 

Ive just resorted to ignoring the problems. Like the loud clunk that happened ~2 years ago now and provide funky noises when stopping and idling. I mean everything works so just dont touch it right? Only added ~15k miles since then

 

It's the new normal!


Like we say at work, "yeah it's making some noise, it's fine. When it stops making noise then it's probably time to give it some attention."

Things definitely don't fix themselves.

 

I thought wiremen from LU46 were about $50 on the check

 

whay has the media not grabbed on to when Joe called 45 a clown when they asked the covid response question? I thought it was the highlight.

 

a genuine goat rodeo for sure.

 

As for the debate.

I heard the next one is confirmed for a fisticuffs in a Chili’s parking lot.
