**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

I got them to put u-joints, cv axle, diff oil, mini grease gun, and two sway bar link kits in the bucket. Probably could get them to do leafs also, lol.

EDIT: I went to the one on 161 between 315 and Sawmill.

 

Nice. And you get a cool bucket!

Did you get sway link kits to have longer links? Or just replacements? I have been debating the need to redo them on mine.

 

I tried to price out a full bucket of everything i want to get done before Moab and it's still more than my shop price.. So I'm going to go and buy the bucket itself just cause I want it lol

 

I just got replacements. my suspension is still stock so no need to upgrade those until I upgrade the rest.

 

Not that it really changes the price much, but if you join their reward club then you get $5 off your purchase. You have to join before you go in to buy the parts though.

Any of you guys do the cab mount chop on your trucks?

 

I was going to do that on my truck but I ended up not having to cut anything. So I'm of no help

 

I'm going to mount my tires tomorrow and lift will be here in a few weeks. Hoping I don't have to cut it, but we will see.

 

My tires go on tomorrow too.

 

It'll rub itself out.. Don't worry

 

yeah? lol

 

@Aussiek2000 you shouldn't have too do yours with 255's...with an ome lift and a narrower 33" tire you should be fine..especially with doing uca's...you can bump your caster up a smidgen and move the wheels towards the front and may end up having to shape up some of the splash guards.

 

I just moved to Cincinnati and I am wanting to put a 3 inch lift put on my Taco. Preferably a OME lift with 285/75R17 BFG KO2's.. I am not able to be mechanically inclined do to a disability. Can anyone point me in a direction to where I could get all this done? Thanks.

 

We will see. I don't mind cutting plastic. But don't want to cut steel.

Going to try and get the tires in with just a 3/4" level. At least be drivable on smooth pavement I hope. I can drive my g8 until lift comes

 

I'm in no hurry anyway. Paycheck won't clear my account until early next week. And ARB and low range have lots of shipping to do

 

Finally got my new HAM.. After talking for 1.5 hours with Greg and visiting my local HAM shop..

$346 Icom IC-2730A Dual Band VHF/UHF 50W Mobile Radio

Icom IC-2730A dual band. Woot!

 

Welcome! I'm sure we can figure something out. We will be doing some of these lifts soon as well.

For those who were asking..

I used about 35-40 sq. ft. Noico CCF and Home Depot brand MLV.

I covered everything I really could with the CCF then laid down the MLV over it. I cut out notches for the floor drain plugs and seat mounts, etc. I did the back wall and floor completely. The doors I'm skipping and will need to figure something out for the roof and getting rid of wind noise.

Pulling the carpet, I had to cut the piece that goes under the center console because I wasn't going to unwired my entire switch panel. It was a really small cut and fit back in the same.



CCF going down.



MLV going down.



You can definitely tell there is more thickness under the carpet, especially for the under seat storage bins in the rear, you'll really have to push that down to get it to clip back in.

That's really all there is to that? Very tedious but very worth it.

Most of the guys who frequent this page are from Columbus area or North. I am a good 3 1/2 to 4 hours from Cincy. I would help but that's a long ride just for some work to get done, and you never know when a snag might occur. There are a few who will chime in I'm sure.
