Lol... i know from first hand experience to start off the bolt by hand and not the gun... That's how I screwed up my knuckle/spindle... was an expensive lesson..

 

Never have 4wp install anything! Learned my lesson. Impact gun everything. I swear my lug nuts were tightened to 100ft lbs.

 

thats why we need mod days!
(says the guy without a place to have one)

 

I had to extract a broken start tap out of a bottom of a hole in a trailer axle the other day....pencil grinder is where the all the fun is at

without your truck too

 

Taps are brittle. A forgot with a punch and they break apart

We make the guy who snapped it grind it out though

 

130,000+ views!

or my tools. I'd be down to help turn a wrench or two though

 

I got some questions regarding the guys who dipped their wheels:

What you guys use to clean your dipped rims?
Is it safe to use Meguairs all wheel cleaner?
what cleaners do you guys use?

Ive seen online where you can buy a spray from DYC.com that cleans the rim without damaging the dip.

 

What color did u spray?

 

x2 cause I'm gonna dip my rims too to see how I like the look.

 

good looking out bullaculla!



I didn't know you had to remove those two braces to remove the sway bar. I did both the stock one and sway a way without removing em. Does anybody run with out those braces? I always wanted too..

 

Wen i had my integra i dipped my rims white an cleaned it with simple green. Gonah dip my stocks black later.

 

I used to have my rims dipped:
1:hose and plastic tire brush
2: I wouldn't use and cleaner on it. cleaner usually has high PH levels, which generally means theyre acidic/ corrosive
3:water, car wash soap

 

I have not Dipped wheels yet but i have dipped quite a bit of things to include a 2000 honda 650 xr and really you can use just about anything to clean it that you fell comfortable to use even bath cleaner if its all you have lol just make sure it clean and dry and help to have thing off the vehicle.

and on a different note i thing a press is calling my driver wheel bearing in the near future.

 

I never took mine off either haha. its not like theyre part of the structure, pretty much the mounting place for a poorly made stock skid plate

 

well you do have a machine shop or two on base, atleast one has a press

 

What's I do today? Oh... Just a little of this

And this

Jesse, thanks for the help bro. Let me know if you need help with the bearing or sliders.
Mike, thanks for the fairlead. Makes it look so much better than a gaping rectangle. I'll get the winch eventually.

 

Fair enough and if i am able to get enough parts to do both i plan on it

 

No problem!

Looks pretty good!

I was actually gonna order a built set of hubs from the market thread. cost a little more, but just easier to zero out everything.

 

my friend jokingly said, "thats the first step to removing the rest of that front suspension".

I think I am going to pull off those braces. I have a bunch of surface rust on the front of the frame, so I should get that taken cared of sooner or later too

 

Jeeeezus, that's a heluva lot'o bumper
