Tired just rackin them naddys

So I did a little video edit from the free software I have. Gotta few weeks to practice but here's what I did today

I'm looking for shock tabs for the camp trailer. I'm almost certain I need some for it

Nice work Mike

 

Lol I got em online with some discounts. $323 each shipped. Not too bad

 

Lol I gotta get that ecgs bushing I may buy the tool but still open to doing it if you wanna make a mod day of it?

Nah not to bad did you do the ecgs bushing while you had that front diff out?

 

Yea although it went fubar for a minute. Ended up destroying the old needle bearing and the bushing tool too. I’d offer to give you my tool but it’s toast it worked out though, I was able to still get it out. Still not sure what happened, everything just exploded

 

I can bring the tool with me when I drag the bumper to Clanton if that works. I'm good with whatever

 

Dang haha. I had to use a magnet to get some pieces out of mine. I was sure to put it all together when I got it out and make sure I didn’t forget any.

 

This was mine with stock cv

 

Yea I went over it with magnets many times, the needles went everywhere. I guess I’ll find out if I got all of them tomorrow lol

 

What weight coils are those?

 

700

 

Can’t believe you didn’t throw in a locker when you converted!

 

We’ve probably got similar weight up front. I ordered some 650s to test out and see if things are smoother, but right now the rear bouncing is of more concern to ride quality and general safety haha

 

Maybe in the future, it’d be cool for sure but the cost to actual use ratio wouldn’t be worth it to me lol

 

Your gonna have more bounce with 650’s cause the coils will be less stiff. Me be might be a little too stiff because I have a 4cyl and the motor not as heavy as a 6cyl. But it makes not running a sway bar nice because the body doesn’t lean as much with stiffer coils.

when I rebuild my shocks I’m adding adjusters to help with the ride. Probably get them valves correctly too.

 

Just messing with you. I gave up on cost to use ratio and go with I’m “saving” on labor so let’s blow it on extras. Dangerous game...haha

 

Lol how’d you destroy the tool? I broke a piece out of the bearing back bumping the tool in their but that’s it I think it came out in a gear oil change

Nah I may buy one but would do yours when I did the rc if you wanna?

I let that tiny piece get ground up lol, I’ve got 700# coils and mine rides awesome but don’t have a lot of preload.
