Weak!

 

Always balance dynamic as static can cause steering wheel shimmy. Road force is not needed unless you're chasing a problem tire. Try and get them to use stick-on weights to save the wheel finish.

 

@thefatkid do you guys have those 2 nut/bolt sets in stock? the D-ring Torx and the one to the right of it. they're seized as shit and i'm just gonna cut them out and put new ones in with my bed stiffeners

 

Painted up the LCA armor today

 

Noted and thank you

 

Anyone wheeling this afternoon near Denver?

 

I wish! Doing homework right now since I was too damn lazy to do it the last couple of days

 

Really?

 

A handheld impact driver is good for these situations.

 

If I recall, they aren't the cheapest. When jake destroyed one of mine I just sank a smaller grade 8 bolt through

 

My milwalkee m18 w impact torx bits, torque wrench w 6 ft breaker bar, tons of pb blaster, etc hasnt helped. angle grinder time

 

Ha I know right !?!

 

Sometimes smacking the POS fastener works wonders in comparison to trying to just twist it out.

 

like BFH smack?

 

Blowtorch time! That plastic should melt right out of the way

 

Smack this tool ( ), with the right bit attached, with a BFH.

I grew up back east in the land of corrosion and stuck fasteners. One of those was always at hand and priceless.

 

When I took the rack off after he German torqued one of my bolts I eventually stripped it. Then welded a nut to the top and got some good ass behind it with a breaker bar, without fear of slipping the retarded torx head

Also. Shame. Don't break torque with a torque wrench.

 

Yep. I used to wheel a CJ-8 Scrambler back there, and the roll bar was attached with Torx head/bit bolts. Can't seem to recall why I needed to remove the roll bar, but that type of tool made it happen without ruining any of the bolts.

Besides the shock being transferred from the BFH, the rotation of that tool is small per-strike, so you don't strip out the bolt head. Do it enough with the same bit, and it'll start showing wear, but it's worth it.

 

interesting, i'll see what I can do tomorrow or something, not in any shape for driving at the moment
