Alabama thread!

Oh no, sorry for the confusion but I sent it to the guy I know, if you get a chance, talk to the guy from audio innovations and see if he could make some

 

Dave your truck looks great man really liking the bigger tires on it

 

It's funny you say that. My brother looked at it and said "you know, now you can add a drop bracket lift and 40" tires". I LOL'd. Then I was like.....hmmmm.

 

Thankyou sir! I love it!

 

I have considered an SAS swap, but remember this is my daily driver, and I am ready spending a TON of money on a replacement engine. I may own a shop, but that doesn't mean I have bottomless pockets. I have to watch what I spend right now since most every dime I had went into starting the business. The ONLY reason I am considering a V8 swap is that I already have the engine, so I only need the adapters. I am already looking at spending a minimum of $1500 to get her fixed up, and that is not including the paint (which I will be doing myself to keep cost down to materials only)

Dave, truck is looking good!

I myself would love to go to that off-road spot. it's located in North-east Alabama, right? Why you guys always gotta pic spots that force me to drive 6 hours?...lol. I have tons of Spotter experience if you all need a good spotter for the more difficult trails.

 

Welcome to the forum. We are here to make you spend money. I bet there isn't a person in this thread who hasn't bought something as a result of this forum.

Btw, since you own a shop, I have some questions for you. Expect a pm.

 

Welcome is appreciated, but I have been here for a while! lol. Everyone pretty much knows me by my sigs. Seems Dave has to replace his keyboard once a month from all the drool. You know Dave, you COULD get a plastic keyboard cover and a drip pan for pretty cheap!

 

Oh, I know you've been here for a while. That was a hypothetical welcome. And I usually never get to see your sigs, because gifs don't show up at work and thats the only place I check the forum. I guess I'm missing out.

 

I haven't bought anything yet... Damn. I bought a Toyota bc of this forum...

 

Ask Dave how much you are missing out...lol

 

go for it

 

can anyone give me any tips or advice on replacing the front diff. axle seal driveside.. got the old one out... have troubles getting the new one in. how do u do it

 

Call kyle, he's in the middle of doing that right now. If you need his # pm me.

 

Might be different, but I stuck mine on my axle and then put the axle into the diff. It has worked fine so far.

 

i have heard of guys doing that. ill find out lol. got to put my wheel bearings and stuff in today... yay fun fun

 

Let us know how the wheel bearings go. Alex, his dad, and me could not get those things out.

 

have access to a press?

 

they have to be pressed out and press in and they are a bitch I ended up taking mine to limbaugh toyota and had them to do it I think it was $90 per side plus I already had all the parts.

 

or this

 

A good press is the most commonly over looked, incredibly useful tool to have in your garage. Nobody ever has them either. if you ever plan on doing any axle or transmission work, they are a necessity at some point.

Forget fancy saws and a drill press, I want a nice press and a grizzly in my garage.
