Cool deal. I dig it.

Did you look at the droop side? Just wondering how close the shock was to the new mounts and frame. Im curious like that.

 

Dang! Homie has damn good skills.

I wanna kick a panel in just to see if you can fix it.

 

We've got a Sam's Hot Dog Stand franchise down here, too!

I can let you drive one of mine up, I can't drive 'em both in one trip

 

Thank you sir!

 

Sheesh. All I did was fix a chainsaw (maybe).

 

What’s the easiest way to sharpen a chain? (Besides buying a new one). I have round files you put on a drill put my results are inconsistent

 

No pix. Soooo we’ll never know.

 

I didn't notice any conflicts, but I honestly didn't think to look either, was focused so much on the bump travel. Pretty sure it's OK but will definitely look next time I flex.

Edit: Found a pic (taken from in front of the axle looking toward the back of the truck), looks like there is plenty of space. I burned in the mounts about 1-5/8" from the leaf pack mounts (Archive instructions recommend minimum 1.5"). I would like to measure the fully extended length next time its fully articulated; I'm pretty sure the leaf pack is acting as the limit strap but would like to confirm.

 

Oh yeah.. I wasn't sure if your shaft… was in a bind or not. Hahah.

I like method wheels, the biggest reason I didnt go with them was because of the lack off options regarding offset and back spacing.

Unfortunately, scs wheels seem to be the only ones that I can remember that are non beadlock that offer 3.5 BS with -25mm offset

I also know that KMC has beadlocks that run similar bs/offset

 

I bought a Stihl file. It's mostly dummy-proof. Just need to know the pitch of the chain.

 

Is it the one with the plastic ends?

 

So, while I like the style of Method, their customer service pissed me off. My wheels started with the zinc bolts for the fake beadlocks. They all corroded quickly. Celled Method, and they didn't care. Spent $120 on black ones. Later, I found out there were issues with the zinc bolts and changes were made. They also threadlock these 3/4 inch length bolts in so thread issues are forth-coming. My center caps went missing non-stop. And the bolts holding in the aluminum portion all froze and broke. I also had a lot of problems with the finish bubbling.

Method didn't really care about any of it, but gladly took my money for replacement parts.

 

Yeah. Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

 

Do what Dave did...just make sure you buy the one that's for 3/8 chain! Local Stihl dealer is likely the cheapest, my local shop is like 15 bucks cheaper than Amazon
