Great White Taco build

glare?

 

So you'll go through all that trouble to down size and you'll end up with 25% less glare. I recommend you fix the problem and keep the 40"

 

ohk.. added another thing to my list

 

@Gunshot-6A what about this for my beater? I could make my passengers sit outside

Dude, a subie brat would be legit! All to avoid the chicken tax!

 

I would definitely register it as an antique. Id actually prefer something that is 95 and older.. but harder to find when I need something manual and NOT sporty.

So like an Accord or a Subaru Impreza 2.5.. I think the Honda Fit will be good. And the guy said he will take my camera and lens as a partial trade. Ill lose some $ on those, but havent had any hits anyways. I am going to check it out on Saturday hopefully.

 

And actually, this is kind of my backup if the Fit doesnt work out. I just looked up the tires too - 155/80/12. On Amazon, they are $30 on prime!

Dude, those Honda/Dihatsu minitrucks are the tits! Wont get any pussy in one, but they are hella fun to drive. Like being in a gocart with storage!

 

AND its RHD!?! DO IT!

If you do do it, lemme know, I have a christmas present for it/you

 

Drove one around on Guam for a week. Just the wife and I, full tank cost 18 bucks, ratchet strap a cooler to the bed and you're good to hook.

 

If the Fit doesnt pan out, then I'll think about that, but in feb

 

I can get some strips if you need but not sure when I'll see u again.
Shipping them might be doable.

 

I have a piece of kitchen grade aluminum that i can use for something. Thanks though

 

You'd better buy that before I do. I'll give you a good deal on a honda though if I do.

 

You buy it!!

I found a 2008 Honda Fit manual that im going to look at in Saturday. But I would really want that Brat. Id love to give people rides. Just remember your coat!!

 

more notes for my LCA bushing replacements:

@Wheelspinner
@Pigpen
@Unchained 5150

Thanks for your previous posts on this thread. But I couldnt find any threads where the Moog bushing failed. Any links? I just want to buy the right stuff, so my projects can sell successfully.

Ill add @Armyhater458 in here too.

McGeorge Toyota (online - Georgia) parts diagram. I think its safe to assume that the part numbers are the same for L/R ?

 

I’ve never personally never used moog bushings. I know moog caught a lot of hell on here for the replacement LCA hardware. I’ve always used oem LCA hardware. I’ve used oem bushings in @Chux lcas and in my brothers lcas. I actually used the mevotech bushings off of rock auto in my arms. They were recommended to me by another member and have been in my truck for almost 5 years and so far so good.

 

Thanks. Im not referring to the cam bolts. That will be up to whoever buys these from me.

I am between Moog and OEM. Since this is a project to resell, im not going to cheap out. I am also in no rush, so i can take my time and get the right stuff. Already chattet with @Crom about not getting Whiteline bushings, due to the fact that they need to be regreased

 

I had trouble with Moog LCA ball joints wearing out quickly, but it's a small sample size (4 bushings, attempts at rebuilding the same arms), and we both know how hard I beat the shit out of them, others have had very good luck. I suspect you're better off with Moog, but it really depends on the price/profit difference you'll get between Moog and OEM.

The other issue I had was in assembly, I don't think this is moog specific, getting them started perfectly straight is really important, if there off even a little the hole in the arm gets hogged out and then the BJ will be a little loose.

If you don't already have the press insert I've got one you can have, I'm not using it any more. It slides over the taper to press the BJ in and has the right size ring for pressing them out.

 

I have the BJs in. I definitely agree that they gave my new Dewalt 1/2" impact a workout. But theyre in, with antiseize, and the circlips are in too.

I think they are a new design, because the boot is internal. Ill be including the paperwork with the arms/cotter pin, for the new owner.
