Wonder who was driving today at Ala Moana.

 

I finally was able to take my truck in for routine service. I asked them to install my fumoto qwik valve after they change my oil. They installed it just fine at no extra charge. Hopefully I wont have to remove the Pelfrey skids for them when I take it in for service now.
you guys with pelfrey skids and fumoto, is there enough room to open the valve through the hole?
Unfortunately this was my last free service, so it might be time to buy a new truck

 

Yes, get plenty room for to access your fumoto valve unless u get big hands. did u check your lug nuts if they torque it right

 

I will tomorrow, and reinflate my tires to 42 psi...

 

Tried to send you a pic but my phone kept bouncing it back

Put your grinder to use today, install went quick

 

LMAO!

 

Wat kine jack stands do u guys use? Thinking about picking up a craftsman 3ton jack set for $120 from sears. Max height on the stands are 19 1/4". Not sure if itll be high enuff or will it?

 

Got a letter from HPD today guys! They pulled my name from the pool of applicants. Me and miles came to the conclusion that after I go to this orientation, that wi be step 3 of 16 steps completed.. And I walked around all night lastnight with a tie on; I'm getting more comfortable being constantly choked..

Yup.. Gotta buy a new truck now

I have the 3 ton craftsman stands, work good for me. Don't know what jack I have but it is cheap and not the best, but it works.. If my 3 ton stands are the same, they he my front tires 2" off the ground at full extension when I place them under the front crossmember. For the rear they are obviously fine if you put them under the axle, but if you put them on the frame I have to put them just behind the middle of the rear doors to get everything high enough. Or jack up the axle, remove the tires, then out the stands on the frame right in front of the leaf hanger. That way I can remove the leafs without my axle sitting on the floor.

 

Looks like ill be picking up the jack tomorow. Hit up sears wen they open an go home an take off my wheel spacers.

 

Not me!

 

I got thesehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005JWTMPS?pc_redir=1405067984&robot_redir=1

as far as a jack, check Costco out. They have the Arcan jack that i have, but the the aluminum version. Crap, I would take that jack in a heartbeat (a lot lighter). The top range of my jack is 21 3/8". Just read that the one at costco is a 2.5T but has a max lift of 18.6" (not sure if that will be enough). But then again, the craftsman is just over 19".

I want a creeper so I can just roll under the cars..

Nice.


In other news, the place that we all hate finally called me that my Dakar AAL came in. I don't even know how many months it has been, supposedly a combo of OME being back ordered and such. Now to figure out if I'm gonna install it, get some new pins (if I do), and go for it.. if anyone wants/needs to watch/learn, I'll let you know when I fig u re out a time to do it.

 

I gotta put blocks under my craftsman 3 ton jack stands if I want to hold up truck by the frame to work on suspension. I've been looking for taller stands that won't cost me a fortune.

This is the set I bought from alamoana sears when they had big closing sale:
http://www.sears.com/craftsman-3-to...1x000001&kpid=00950188000&kispla=00950188000P
I need at least 4 more inches.

 

The Arcan one I have is golden and tall enough.. may be close now with those extended RCD5100s, but we will soon find out..

Too bad Costco isn't selling the beast anymore..

 

Neil, Iven has an almost new creeper he might sell ya... He prefers laying on the cold concrete anyways...

 

Tried texting u but never go thru lol

 

Das da set im gonah pick up. Now that u mention having to use blocks under the stands im not to sure.

 

Craftsman 4ton stands are shorter so those are out.

 

These go over 30"

Not cheap though...Looks like anything over 30" cost a fortune!
