    I've actually got to work that weekend. I'm pretty much booked thru August at this point.

    A WTB thread is a good idea. I don't think I can utilize piggybacks with my setup.

    Nooo I am keeping this truck until the day I die, then eventually getting a second vehicle when I get out of college. Buying another project truck is not practical because I would blow all of my LT savings on buying it. Then I would have two stock trucks and no money, who wants that?! :plane:

    Use a sharp chisel or screwdriver and slowly pry it out they dont thread. It helps if you have a vise

    On my 2nd gen, that is the sound of dry uniballs. I hit it with tri flow and it goes away until my next dirt trip.

    I have also heard that sound with dry bushings. Again, lubed and it went away.

    I never once used any sort of lube on my FK JMX uniballs and I ran them for a good 4-5 years... By far the best company to go with when they have teflon lining.

    I rolled my truck, bent the upper arms, drove it DD out to many desert trips, and they're still being used today on jeffz0rz's truck without any slop! Hands down well worth the money to get them even if they are expensive at first, things are excellent, same with the heims.
