Alabama thread!

I'll show up before work just so I can get my top plates back! LOL!

 

Kyle just volunteered. I'll send Paul a text and let him know since he is internetless.

 

oh yeah that means we will have to pull the front susp before we go to the shop to redo my other coils. or i can just leave the entire setup with ya doesnt really matter to me.

 

We can pull the front first and then go.

 

that wont hurt the cv's just hanging or are you talking about pull the front then hook the ucas back up with no strut assembly and go?? i mean that sounds fine to me just tryin to gather a plan in my head so i dont slow the process down.

 

I was looking to just pull the shocks, zip tie the spindle to the UCA and then go. Get the shocks done. Then come back and replace the UCA and new shocks on. If we are moving quick, then we may go ahead and do the new UCA's and then go. The shop isn't available until 9, but it will take 20 minutes to drive out there.

 

ok either way dont think it really matters it will be supported so it wont stress the cv's. i guess this is gonna have to be one of those see how it goes then decide things.

 

I really wish I'd had someone who had done UCA's on a taco before when I did mine. Dealing with the sheet metal and that 11" bolt was a PITA having never done it. Shop was right down the street, so I dropped my shocks / springs off and went back home to do the UCA's, thinking, "eh, it'll be like 15-20 min per side." Hahahahahahaha. I wish.

Good luck this weekend though guys. Pics afterwards!

 

well brian says he has the system down pat now so hopefully we wont have any problems and it will just be a step in the road.

 

When we did mine, it took us less time to do both UCA's than it did Kyle to mount two bolt on step bars. Should take about one hour.

 

key word......jk it had been a while since anyone threw a jab at kyle so i couldnt resist

 

Anyone looking for a black low profile toolbox? Mine is for sale.

YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!





i am.
what kind is it? can you do me a favor and sit it down on top of your wheel wells and see if it still fits? cuz that is pretty much how it would have to fit in my truck since it is a dcsb

 

Yeah, man having done it once before and knowing where / how much you gotta bend sheet metal would really help. There was a lot of trial and error, mostly error, when I did mine, lol.

 

would you mind snappin a pic of it and sending to me please or posting it?

 

^^^^ Fixed!!

From what I remember I was working in the rain and by myself and mounted and unmounted one of them..

Will wont be there this weekend so it's going to take you guys a minute!!!

 

o c'mon kyle have a little faith in me and brian. afterall youve seen or heard about how many times the two of us have torn down the front end of one of these trucks so it should be fairly straightforward. think this will make like number 6 or 7 for me. be the third time me and brian have worked together on one.

 

But UCA's are a different story and you're gonna need the "I don't care I just want to get it done!" attitude that "The Stig" had!!! LOL!

 

When we are done Justin, we can post up the results. Might even reuse a pic Kyle put up a few pages back.
