The Lair

Your wife is a doctor. Can't she handle that shit on her own?

 

I was hoping she could just deliver her own baby, but nooooooo.

 

Well Subie's have a pretty strong baby delivery vehicle record 'round these parts (the 757!)...something about symmetrical force applied all over or something-something...PhD, you know the thing

 

Wives tend to create problems where there aren't any.

 

All that education for nothing.

 

This may be the smartest shit ever posted on TW...ever.

Definitely in this thread.....................................










hi bae

 

Mind going into a little detail on how you got rid of the red on the JBAs?

 

sounds like there's a story behind this?!?!

 

Lmao you are in my build thread, right??

 

Damn country cell service is hit or miss!!!

Edit: well I quit...I relish going back into work for high speed internet so all the pages and images load normally and entirely.

 

It started because I needed to replace my ball joints. I have the older style that had the rubber bushings as well. So I used this as an opportunity to overhaul them. Pulled them off the truck and removed the balljoint and burned out the rubber bushings. Then I just went over the arms with a wire wheel and an angle grinder, getting them mostly raw steel. Then I just spray painted them black. Added new ball joints and poly bushings and good to go.

 

Sounds like I need to go page by page!!

 

Thanks. I haven't ordered yet. Waiting to hear back from them if I can order without the red powder coat. If not I guess I will need to remove/mask off the joints

 

Unfortunately, they won't send them raw. Luckily the ball joint and bushings are very easy to remove so you can paint them something else if you want.

 

Rats... I will just remove, should be simple enough. Either going to go black like you did, or try and find a matching blue from the kings, but idk if that would be too overkill or not.

 

My reason for going black was because I wanted the kings to be the center of attention in the wheel well. Their colors really pop against the all black rest of suspension.

 

Good point. Still looking to see if there are any existing pictures on TW to compare. We will see. leaning towards black at the moment.

 

I color matched a friends JBA with his MGM truck. Those came out killer and were pretty subtle. Let me try and find a pic.

 

...will you ever go back?

 

I might go to a different UCA for more tire clearance. I have 3.6" backspacing up front and I still rub my UCA a little at full lock. It's just part of the ball joint design. I think if I had something with a smaller footprint, like some dirt king ones, it wouldn't be an issue.

So no? I won't go back?
