It is hard to fit a spanner wrench in there. I assume you are adjusting the coilovers on your truck. The easiest way I have found is to jack up the truck to take the weight off the susp and use a punch that fits into the hole with as little slop as possible and use it to adjust.

 

I've never cooked crawdads, but have lots of free room and can help carry anything....

 

This. I use an allen wrench that fits tight. You can use the long or short end so you have a few ways to get to the collars

 

Sooooo does anyone know how to fix the stock 6 disc changer? or know if it is falls under warranty?

Mine will only load and play 2 cd's. Doesn't even try for the other 4 discs.

Any thoughts/comments? I don't have the cash to spring for a new deck right meow.

 

You guys are making me miss Louisiana... I miss good Cajun food, especially crawfish.

 

how the hell do you adjust kings on the truck!

 

It won't be worth fixing. Just upgrade it. It MAY fall under warranty but I wouldn't count on it.

 

Well thanks for the heads up. 1/4" extension with an adaptor to 1/2" with a few extensions makes the job very easy. I had some stupid camber so I adjusted the coilovers to get back to similar ride height after the springs got beaten in. My caster was all sorts of F*ed up from the accident, good thing that my cams were marked from when I aligned it at work. Got the cams back to the same spot on the passenger side (shit that got hit). I dont have rotary tables for toe set or anything but I did measure real quick and toe set seems *ok for now until I get time to take it in.

Overall great night for slowly getting the truck fixed. It was a rough 120 miles drive today to work and back with that beat up truck lol

 

Think you've got to take them off the truck and use a spring compressor?????

I've heard of other members having a hard time with them on the truck but they could just be weenies!

 

the metal is too soft to not use a spring compressor. lowering the front .5" when i do the rear.

 

Ohhhh.....what's the ETA! Can't wait to see your new rear end, hell can't wait to touch it too!

 

Anyone know where Sunflower Mine is? I just saw a YouTube video of some jeeps take a trail there, and it looked pretty badass.

 

Its up by sunflower on the way to payson i believe but there was/is a fire burning up there. Not sure to what extent but still want to do that trail???

 

Josh (moose) is the man! came over and busted his ass all day to help me with the truck. Now one side is 100% done going to finish it up tomrrow

 

Fuck burning, lets do it...

 

Did both CVs in an hour and a half. Winning.

 

Nice. I have never changed on a Taco, but my old race prepped Civic, I could replace them in 20-30 minutes in the pits. I had to do it so often, it just got easy. I got to were I could do clutches pretty quick too.

Heres the vid of Sunflower Mine: Warning! It's pretty shaky due to a kid holding the camera...and vid contains jeeps...

Honestly I was expecting something more. They were all worried going through the crack but I didn't see any of them anywhere close to not being able to make it or in any danger of rolling. I hope there is more to that trail than just that, I can find harder stuff local to Tucson than what was in that video.

 

Duuuude, I'm so tired and sore. Lol. 5 hours of sleep after 4 hours of normal work plus the 9+ hours on your truck. Lol. Was fun tho man. Learned a lot! Let me know when you finish it up anf how it turns out.

 

this video is a poor representation of Sunflower Mine. its auctually not even on the main trail but a side loop that extends the trail an extra few miles. The main trail is rocky, with a pretty extensive rock garden and some pretty good obstacles with a side road that will take you to an abandoned mercury processing plant (probably gone now) and a few old mine shafts.

a little better video:
