NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I also have loaners if you need unforeseen parts.

 

Thanks for the info guys. That may be what I have to do then. I will get back to you all on if I need a garage. There is one guy in town I can think of that would be closer. Will check on that and find out.

 

I need to do mine too. We should have a shop day here soon. If its as easy as the dudes who already did it say, then i am confident we can get it done. Especially with the great @JimSnell on our side.

 

Did your phone start smoking crack?

It’s a pioneer plus pch2, They’re expensive, i could get it for a significant discount through one of our vendors. It’s meant for the front of a fire truck/ emergency vehicle.

 

They really are simple. Assuming just swapping fluid and seals. If revalving it can be a bit more complex (just in making sure everything is oriented right). Otherwise its just disassembling everything and swapping a few o-rings, a wear band, and the shaft wipers. Setting the ifp is about the only "hard" part and its not really hard at all

it really is one of those thing that once you see it done youll realize how simple a shock is


o and if you are doing the fronts.....not a bad time to swap the spherical bearings for the top and bottom mounts

 

That reminds me that my Icons need a rebuild. One of them is leaking. They lasted 60k miles though.

 

I'm over 60k but they feel fine but would like to rebuild. I have a King soft jaw shaft clamp that I think I'll gift to Jim. I'll never use it unless I get a spring compressor.

 

Is it obvious when it’s time to rebuild (mushy ride, etc..)?

 

Almost need the diff breather mod to park at my place....

 

damn!!!!

 

Hmmm, maybe i dont need them rebuilt then, im pushing 60k on my icons, no leaks, still stout

 

Or a Snorkel

 

Daaamn, @Sparky.

That from today or the last few?

 

Plus fireplace in the garage!

 

Unless it leaks.....ehhh not overly. Most of the (king, fox, icon, ect) say you should rebuild every 50-60k for "street" use which I would say most of us fall into.

Its more of a slow degradation thing so you probably wont notice any change really

 

From a few hours ago. Currently it looks the same, it’s from a flooded creek so there’s no way to divert the water or pump it

 

You should see my new drill press.

 

three axis drill press

and what spring compressor for coilovers are you running?

 

My questions is where the heck are you hiding all this stuff?
