New England B.S. Thread

Actually wasnt that bad. Longer break lines would have made it easier tho. Heres proof lol

 

So effing stoked on my lift lol. Has anyone here done the carrier bearing drop? Is it pretty straight forward? Im ganna do the passenger rear and that tomorrow night. Thinking about scheduling an appointment to get my tires mounted and alignment on wenesday

 

It's just 2 bolts, no big deal at all. You might not even need it. Did you put in axle shims? Honestly, I'd hold off on the CB drop unless you have vibes but that's just me.

 

Just locked down a deal for 285 duratracs in exchange for a gauge swap and $300 (and my Hankook's. They were good while they lasted, Rob lol)

 

What about the transmission ?

 

I'm stupid, I know, but my trans works for now lol




Compared to mine:



They have more tread than mine and I still have my brand new set of duelers in the shed

 

X2 I did mine a month later . I'd hold off

 

Your funny .

 

I don't think funny is the correct adjective

 

Glad i asked, that makes sense ill probably wait. I did not get axle shims so we will see. Fingers crossed haha.

 

Me neither but I was trying to be nice

 

I know someone like you. His moto is "Fuck it run it, fix it when it breaks".

"I have a weird noise i think something is fucked up in the diff" one day later spinning tires something goes boom and takes out whole diff.

 

But my issue is isolated to the clutch packs at this point. I know what's wrong, and I know how to drive to prevent slipping from happening. As long as I'm mindful of my driving, I have nothing to worry about.

But yes, I admit it, I am a dumbass. That's what being 18 is about. I have a car on backup if/when my trans dies on me and I have some money saved. I'm good.

 

Bigger tires will prob cause your failing trans to die even quicker than it is though.

 

That's why I have my 265/65/17's kicking around. I'll probably have those re-mounted so I have puny tires again

Where in RI is that? I grew up down there. That looks like a pretty sweet spot! Nice pics!

 

I would at least put in the extended collar so you can add axle shims later without completely tearing down. With Dakars, I would definitely put the shims in.

Meh, a little duct tape and limp it home

 

any plans for any more meets? do you guys go in the snow?

 

to be honest, shims promote axle wrap. had them on my reg cab and got rid of them ASAP. i have the beefedtaco CB drop on my truck currently, and it is night and day difference. a PITA to put on compared to OME's cb drop, but well worth it IMO. every truck is different, see how yours is first obv.
