New Mexico Owners BS Thread

So the only time it has rained (actually poured) in awhile down here is, of course, move out day of the dorms

 

I have a shell on my truck; do you need help with anything?

 

Haha I got caught in the rain hauling lumber! Lol time to play in the mud this weekend.

 

Shake down/puerco meet?

 

Not sure what's going on. I'm sitting around the apartment tomorrow until FedEx shows up. Then I'll be texting Cloudy or others to find out what be the plan.

 

Okay for everyone that will check..........Shakedown meet at my casa at 1:00 tomorrow. Bring what you need help with and any tools that you might need. I have some other stuff going on as well that I'll need help with. But plan on that. If you need my address or my phone number get ahold of me or some one that already does. See you guys tomorrow.

 

8:22am - Out for Delivery!

 

10:51am Delivered. Already unpacked 'em. Working on getting pictures up on the build page.

I'll be at Cloudy's around 1.

Anyone up for helping me get one or both installed tomorrow?

Hoping to do it at my place but need a jack, jackstands and a oil catcher.

 

Hey guys! Have fun today wish I could come....

On a side not I finally cracked open the packaging on the WIY bumper.. Can't wait to get this started!

 

Gneaux! Ewe have fun!

Phonetically equivalent to "no".

Lern moar French!

 

Spent the day helping Cloudy and Josh (Lobster13) with their trailers.

Cloudy's trailer wheeled out waiting for the weather to pass to do some truck bed lining:


Checking for leaks:


Cloudy is going to be dining at the Ritz while camping:


Cloudy explaining that the bedliner is inside the bottle and will spray out:

Finished product, looking good:


Josh working on his, incorporating all the lessons learned on Cloudy's:


Got the trailer lights pressed in:


Looks like Johnny5 is coming alive:

 

Planning to install one of my 3rds on Wednesday starting sometime around 1pm. If anyone wants to lend a hand, it'll be most welcome. PM me if you think you're going to drop in.

 

Sweet trailers. They gonna be trail rated?

 

I need one of those trailers!!!!!

 

Yes it is..... Using one of these.......http://www.adventuretrailers.com/coupler.html

We can build you one.... Lobster and I were thinking of doing a couple more. There will be a full write up in a few weeks. Just look for it. We have been documenting the progress well.

 

So I'm stuck here.



I badly need to replace my studs on the rear. The problem is the drum is stuck. After conferring with Tom and Cloudy and the Live thread, here's what I've done.

Soaked it with PB Blaster
Fully backed of the adjuster star
Great number of whacks with a mallet
Attempted teh bolts into threaded holes, stripped the threads
(side note: was unable to find what size the threads are, anyone know?)
So much hitting with a mallet
Cursing

Anyone have any other suggestions?

 

Remove the entire axle shaft and get it on a bench?

Did you get the adjuster to let go?

Edit: NVM. Just saw the line about the adjuster.
