LogCabins, Build and BS

Good luck on your lca bushing project. (I read it on another thread) Which bushings are you going with?
Please keep us posted either here or on the other thread.

 

I have all new OEM bushings I bought from Camelback a while ago.....just haven't had time to knock it out yet.....because I'd rather wheel

 

Ok so I knocked out the LCA bushings and Rack and Pinion bushings yesterday.....was a 6 out of 10 on the PITA scale and that's only because one of the cams was seized in the LCA so I had to cut it with a grinder and cutoff wheel to get the LCA out. Only advice is you might as well get new rack and pinion bushings also so you can change them too, since you have to remove all those bolts anyways to give yourself room to remove the cam bolts. Even after marking the cams. I still need an alignment, so will be doing that tomorrow.

 

@BYJOSHCOOK so I was able to use the supplied "punch" from King to turn the collar.....they came out of the box with 11 threads showing on top so I did 2 full turns on my drivers side. The manual says 2 1/2 turns equals 1/2" of lift I believe....the 2 turns 13 threads showing seems to have leveled out the taco lean....time will tell

 

That's what I did roughly, mine might be a little taller but damn it still rides great. Was hitting 40 mph on some trails this past weekend and it felt great

 

Just got my alignment....wow she drives like a caddy now with the new LCA and Rack bushings and I'm loving the Kings too!!!! And I will post some pics in the Prinsu thread soon

 

Now just have to measure out the design and go buy the metal

 

Thanks to @bullaculla I picked up a nice little DD a few weeks ago...didn't have time to post it as I left for vaca but I'm back home and gonna get some things done

First real mod will be these Volk TE37 knockoffs by ESR in a matte bronze 18x9.5 +22 hopefully will get them installed tomorrow

 

Nice
Can't wait to see what all you do to it!

 

Ordered everything to drop it a bit...that will be it after that besides disneyworld just wiped my bank account out....didn't help that I was trying to hide these wheels from the wife, but she ended up taking today off (working from home) so it's hard to hide a big brown truck pulling up to the house...at least my couch is comfortable....cuz that's probably where I will be sleeping

 

That's okay. Sleeping on the couch is like camping. I don't mind at all
Plus that's where the big TV is

 

True....didn't even think of that

 

Also a little update on my rig...thanks to Tyler @Honeybadger415 my swingout is coming along!!!

 

Nice man. Running a retrofit Group Buy. Get in on it brother

 

Spindle welded to plate that will be welded to the bumper.....tomorrow it will be going down..everything getting welded to the bumper and should be all finished up by Sat

 

Out of order but this was my mockup of the above spindle plate

 

In theory will look something like this.....dont mind my non sketching skills

The side where the spindle goes through the plate will be boxed in for more support underneath as well

 

First of all I would like to give the BIGGEST MAHALO'Z to @Honeybadger415 Tyler for busting his ass to get this thing fabbed up! It definitely wasn't easy and we had some hickups, but for his first time building something like this it came out pretty damn good!!!

Now to wait for my matching SR8 that should be in mid this month

 

Cherry!

 

Thanks E.J.

I am stoked!!!
