Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I still have 4 of those jack stands sitting in my garage. I should get around to returning those as well. HF is always a black hole for me, too many bargains to look at.

 

I love my M18 Surge and use much more than my impact if you don’t need the full torque and noise of impact.

 

Was this guy in your passenger seat by chance?

 

You ever been so bored that you open up a new tab and go to tacomaworld only to realize that the tab you were just on...was tacomaworld?

 

I was looking at those too. Does it have enough power for working on your truck? Just the normal maintenance and such?

 

Ok, so I installed the ecgs front diffs, put the driver side once upon a time new napa cv in, brand new Toyota seal came pre-installed at 4mm, and it leaks. Ive pulled the axle and re seated it clip up face and down multiple times. I tried cleaning everything so there for sureeeee no dirt. But it still leaks. They're sending me a new seal to try. Anyone ever have issues like this? The old Timken seal did not leak.

 

No.... I got my seals from ecgs too, but I used oem remanufactured CVS. No leaks.

If 2nd seal leaks it sounds like its time for a new CV

 

Thats what I was thinking. I might try another Timken seal tomorrow. Maybe the napa is like 0.005" off or something.... worst case it'll be a spare to the spares spare lol 35s and front locker means cvs are like a savings account, the more the better.

 

No

 

35s have been nice to me



Sorta. Lol

 

I want 35s

 

Love mine Milwaukee stuff. My 1/2” impact comes wheeling with me now.

 

So much nicer than air tools.

 

I second that about Milwaukee. The stuff is good shit. This year I've accumulated the 1/2 impact, 4 1/2 inch angle grinder (18V) as well as the 1/4 impact driver/drill set, a 3/8 impact, and a 3/8 ratchet. I carry the 3/8 impact and ratchet in the truck. I tested, and confirmed, the 12V 3/8 impact will break loose a fully torqued ADD CV nut, which is probably the highest torque value nut or bolt I would encounter on a trail repair. The 12V also has a USB charger adapter you can use to charge your batteries from a typical car charger.

 

How do you like the ratchet? That’s next on my list.

 

Game changer... So nice in closed quarters. I got the 3/8 so I could keep all my truck sockets 3/8 impact socket.

I think the 1/2 ratchet is too big, seems to defeat my purposes for it.

 

Understandable. Do you have it in 12v or 18?

 

That half is amaze balls. But mostly the 3/8's is enough. I have both right angle and the standard.

 

Ratchet is 12V
