Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I can lend you a jack/jack stands and some tools if need be. Can drop them off after work tomorrow if you want em

 

What do ya do for work? I had the assumption you worked from home

 

I've got a jack, no stands. Other than that anything special? I am going to watch a video on how to do it just to make sure I'm not retarded. Never fucked with suspension lol

 

Maybe, depending on what time i get out of work

 

My hobbies are cheap compared to my 3 kids and wife

 

Dang.... Id help ya if I was closer but it looks like its at least a 1.5 hour drive each way for me...

 

Torque wrench and a tie-rod puller. If you can wait until Sunday, we can do the swap in my garage. San Jose.

 

What's the tie rod puller for?

 

I always pop it off so I can swing the spindle out of the way.

 

Just remove the 2 bolts on the bottom of the spindle?

 

Remove outer tie rod from knuckle.

 

Could do. I have the $12 tool, though.

 

I just don't like breaking the tapers and risking tearing the boot if I don't have to. Both methods work fine.

 

Flatbed is bolt on in preparation for a diesel bed swap 4 - 5 years from now. 3rd gen frames are the same...

Heard he plans to tax remittances to Mexico to pay for it. Our employees are thrilled.

Mine too. NUMMI FTW.

 

You mean Tesla?

 

Yeahhh.... shame they shut that down. I have a mechanical engineering buddy at Tesla.

Took a tour of NUMMI in 2006. Kaizan as fuck.

 

How do you know where your truck was made? Wonder where my Tundra was made.
