NW WA Meet / BS Thread

BS (well possibly). Limited Warranty stuff that is 1 year you can exchange. Upon exchange you either get 90 days or the reminder of the 1 year for the "new" part. Whichever is greater.



But when it comes to bearings (and seals) Im a big fan of Timken, Koyo, or National. Pretty much all I buy and if you shop around, they arent much more expensivethen other brands.

 

If you notice in the clip, you'll see the horn portion of the air horn in my hand briefly just before I smashed the shooter. 5min warning, 1min warning then all clear. There was about 7000lbs of anfo in that shot.

 

Ahh i see it now. I wasnt watching to closely the first time.

 

How was your day at work babe? O we had a fucken blast!

 

Irrelevant

 

agreed. wish i could take more than a half day off a week to see that. on schedule to work 65hrs this week. tile setters are in extreme demand. anyone worth a shit at it i can get hired in moments.

 

Make sure you torque the axle nut to 165 ft/lbs or whatever is spec. I think i did one of mine to like 100 and it shit the bed in like 6 months

 

I’ve done mine to about 7 ugga duggas

 

Yeah I had that happen. My current Tekton torque wrench only goes to 150 ft/lbs so I do that and then crank it down another turn or two. It’s an annoying job less difficult I’d say.

 

You guys see this hilux that went up for sale? Man i wish they offered tacomas with diesels. https://www.japaneseclassics.com/vehicle/1995-toyota-hilux-pickup/

My buddy works for them, he said they could handle a swap like that no problem using a newer 1/2KD-FTV engine. Buuuuuutttt it would probably be north of $10k to do it. But it would be done right and as if it came that ways from the factory.

 

I imagine the hardest part would be finding a KD here in the states. Im always paranoid my 05 is going to have a head gasket leak and blow up like they tend to do

 

Maybe you have a different measurement of ugga duggas than me. 4 uggs duggas for me is to the level of cheater bar on breaker bar at about full arm strength. Much more than that is pinning my body in some awkward position and using my legs to force it.
I once tore a juniper out using my own leg force. The family was a little surprised seeing it happen.

I bought a Harbor freight 1/2" torque wrench a few years back. It has done everything I've needed (hopefully accurately). Off the top of my head, I think it goes up to about 250 ft-lbs.

 

Just hunted around today and found one at Home Depot. It goes from 50-250 ft lbs for $50 instead of $99 for 3/4 in which I don’t have sockets for, could work for some bigger jobs but idk no sockets at 3/4 inch drive currently. My old 1/2 in Tekton 0-150 broke they’re replacing under warranty but for the wheel bearing I need 173 ft lbs IIRC want it perfect this time lol.

I think they had the same price for one at Harbour Freight online; but at the store only the pricier digital ones which I don’t care for since I don’t use them often. Only for critical components.

Thought I should add, I have broken a 1/2 inch drive Tekton, and a Stanley. Never a husky or craftsman just yet but we will see lol.

 

They do. It’s called a hilux

 

mmm. Brunswick Stew

 

Now I’m hungry! That looks damn tasty!

 

its was on point. wife made it. had cornbread with it too

 

I saw these pictures on the WORN discussion board Facebook page. FS70 after the upper gravel pit. That's about 2.5 miles after the pavement ends.

 

Short cut?
