That's good

My shit never balances out right. Between chunking off road and off the cab mount they get hokey. I think my alignment shifted lol.

I also need to have the rear DS balanced, I've pulled it apart a few times and just poked it together to get going lmao

 

Driveshaft on mine needs to be done too. I was just gonna take the front and rear with a new CB down to my driveshaft guy and let him rebuild em. Mine is out of balance, or phase or something and is making all kinds of noises. Clutch dumps really fucked something in the rear shaft up.

 

Maybe you twisted the splines together without completely stripping it and it's too bound up to slip anymore

 

Ooooh, uh you might be onto something there. I hadn't considered that, well fuck that would explain the loud clicking when the suspension compresses

 

I heard someone say the driveshafts on these trucks have some issues. Is there anything to that, or is it mostly when you wheel them hard?

Anyway, that might be an advantage of the regular cab; only a one-piece driveshaft.

 

hehe I've fucked up some shit and been around others who do it chronically as well. Just an idea

 

Normally on the Ex/double cab they wear out and get clunky if they haven't been greased enough. Haven't seen one totally explode yet lol

 

This would be the first one I've fucked up and it came to me with unmaintained u-joints and a never greased slip yoke. My other one had 300k on it and was fine still though. I admittedly drove this one really hard to win a race on a dry lake bed, 4000rpm clutch dumps with 33s isn't exactly wise driving behavior.

 

Easy way to check is to undo the ds on one side and see if you can pull it apart by hand. Don't forget to mark it in case it falls apart lol

 

Yea I kinda doubt mine have ever been greased lol

 

Couldn't tell you the last time I did mine, and I had the perfect opportunity cuz it was all apart lol

I did remember to put gear oil in the diff, at least

 

it has fallen apart before and i just put it back by doing the phase with a straight edge

 

Luna met these two great danes the other morning. I think she was pretty intimidated by their size. They were really sweet dogs though.

 

I've lost track of how many rednecks have told me 1000ct airsoft pellets will perfectly balance a swamper lol

I know it makes a difference cause I've felt a before and after but damn their butt dynos are tuned differently to mine

 

If it's a tickle in the seat and not a steering wheel shake then it's "balanced"

 

If I open a GoFund Me, I promise I'll spend the money on quality merchandise.

 

Damn that lift trailer is cool

 

Ooo it's shiny

 

Swampers are fun because they flat spot pretty badly too lol. Takes 15~ min for them to heat up enough to get roundish again
