Florida B.S. Thread

directly from them. I think my BJs were only $50. bushings were free because I had the old style that blew apart.

 

How do I go about doing this? My drivers side bushings are done. Right side aren't far behind.

 

The bushings are the biggest pain in the ass. I had to cut the sleeve with a sawzall very gently. Then pry and hammer them out. Fill the sleeve with jb weld then file smooth.

 

Bushings are definitely a PITA. RuggedT helped me do one set with an air chisel and "muffler cutter" tip and it went a hell of a lot faster.

 

Why hasn't anyone tried a press yet? Or renting the tool from autozone?

 

Metal is too thin for press I believe.

 

Press the bushing not the metal then?

 

Metal has to go with it in order to press the new bushings in.

Old bushings are bonded to the metal and don't break away clean anyways.

 

Ahhhhh. This is just with the old LR bushings then cause the spec ride ones mine came with look different

 

Spec ride ones are easy as pie to remove

 

anyone ever used vinyl wrap? I'm thinking about picking up a kit to wrap my roof...I attempted to dip it and it didnt turn out too well. It's not bad...but it doesnt look good either. it was nice and sunny then out of nowhere it started to rain (like literally 12 drops) and got windy and then just stopped...the weather literally was like "fuck you". I think this will be my last time using plasti-dip.....such a waste of money

You can't press the old sleeve out because its tappered on one side and you would have to push from the other end. If you were to try the tappered end would be flat against the surface it would sit on. Tried like 3 different machine shops.

 

So I should expect a full day of fun when it comes to replacing them......

That drivers side one slammed hard tonight just switching from drive to reverse to back into a parking spot tonight.

 

Buy new UCA's and sell the old ones

Might be living in NC or CO by then. We were just looking at Ashville as a legit contender.

 

Even if I have to pay for the bushings, I found them for $25. So not worth selling them. I like my LR uppers.

 

I'll see you there then! Ashville is great, we loved it.
