NW WA Meet / BS Thread

When you're being proned out on your driveway out at rifle point, remember to yell, "IT'S JUST A PRANK BRO, I WAS JUST PRESSURE WASHING MY TRUCK". That provides +1 immunity to 5.56.

 

Which way are y'all pounding your pinch weld? outboard or inboard?

 

Better get one quick. I'd wager they will get banned by the ATF, as as Assault Washer !!!

 

Mines an outie

 

In, hopefully I’ll be removing it soon

waiting on @bobsuruncle to drain and return my welding tank...actually bring it over full. Thanks

 

You doing some tubbing? Going up to 37s?

 

LCA relocation bracket and tubing if needed. Going to see how they fit with just the LCA relocation

 

Jd?

 

yep

selling my skid plate as well because it’s included...so if anyone’s in the market, i got a steel SOS skid up for grabs

 

I would have the bolts JIC. I bent my sheet metal to pull out one side and it was ridiculously easy. The other side did not have clearance whatsoever. A 1.5 hour job ended up taking 5 troubleshooting the issue and I realized my cab was slightly off center, making it impossible to just bend the sheet metal out of the way. I had to cut a piece out in order to pull the bolt out. Just cutting the bolt and replacing it would have been much more easier; additionally I have not read anything about anyone's bolts actually falling out here at all.

 

It will temporarily fix that. But anytime I come to a slightly more abrupt stop or brake down a hill, I hear this clunk and then that rotational clunking starts happening again. Driving me nuts. I don't want to take it to a shop but I can't figure out what's wrong when everything inside the drum looks fine.

 

That JD crossmember is pretty wild. I stumbled across a YouTube video from a guy up in BC that has their long travel kit that actually drives his truck like he stole it and it looks like it handles everything he throws at it.

 

Sounds like that’s @WormSquirts

 

As a matter of fact that’s him! Didn’t know he’s a TW member.

 

Link to the YT channel?

JD Fab, would recommend.

 

Relocation is taking a backseat right now, waiting on the rest of the parts for my 63 swap

 

Suspension question: When is a rebuild necessary? By feel?

Have an OME medium kit that’s about 20-25K miles old. Weekend adventures (nothing crazy - FS roads) otherwise commuting on highway/city.

Things feel fine, but wondering if it’s necessary at X miles like an oil change?

 

When it leaks.
