NW WA Meet / BS Thread

That should work. Where we thinking.

 

I'm down for the 19th.

 

Long bed doing truck stuff. Full sectional with ottoman.

 

I was just installing new brake rotors and pads and new wheel spacers I got over Black Friday. The lugs on the new spacers seem short and the lug nuts that came with them are not completely on the threads. I've got red loctite on it but it still doesn't seem legit to me. Any suggestions? Longer lugs?

 

That is typical of toyota front studs. I have about that much thread engagement on my volks. You can swap out the studs if you want to go through that process.

These are about 5mm longer than factory

I have the same setup. you will be fine just check torque on the spacers 80 ft/lbs every time you rotate your tires .

 

aaaannnnnd nothing like a union strike right when im trying to scrounge up money and find a place to buy/rent. today was day 1 of 10 in a 10day max sympathy strike.


ive only been a unionized worker for 9months now, and i was wondering when this time would come. i didnt expect myself having to strike for someone elses contract.

 

Ran into the same issue last week, had to order these (note the longer shank):

tahuya?

 

This is good to know. I may look into longer studs. The ones you posted seem to be questionable if you get 1 stud or 10 studs for the price. All the reviewers are saying one stud. Do you know if this is the case for the rear wheels as well? I haven't gotten to that point yet, stopped after I found out the fronts were short.

I may have to go this route until I either get longer studs or longer lug nuts. But it is good to know you run it this way without issues. Do you offroad it like this?

I'm considering this method as well. It may just be easier than replacing studs. Thanks for the link.

 

I'm down for Tahuya. That's my go to but I'd also be interested in other ORVs in the area. I have yet to go to any of the other ORVs.

 

Replacing studs is a royal PITA, even with the special tool to seat them

 

Yeah haven't had any issues

 

It is for qty 10.

Keep in mind, those ET lugs might not fit in the spacer holes.

 

So strange mine seated flush

 

Good catch. My spacers have .54" of space measured with my digital calipers.

It didn't seem like too much of a task based on the videos I've watched about doing it.

This is why I don't think I should run it this way and just go with longer studs.

Do you guys think I'll run into the same issues with the rear studs? Are they the same length as the fronts? Just need to make sure I order enough of the longer studs.

 

What size is your spacer

 

Rear studs are longer. It's only the fronts that are shorties

 

1.25"

Also throwing this out there for fun, but if anyone has any 1.75'' or 2'' wheel spacers they don't want and want to go smaller, I have 4 spidertrax 1.25'' spacers I'd trade.
