209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

If he can text it would be preferred as I am at work!

 

WTF! if I rolled up on those scums bags. My game that i'm hunting would change really fast.

 

You work? I see you posting to craigslist finds on this forum all day long.

 

Lol @TOP TACO was worried about me because I disappeared for a bit

 

lmfao!!!

 

Note to future self: Dude, you hate painting. Just pay for the powder coat, you'll thank me later.

 

Just got mine installed too. Went PC and glad I did

 

How did they turn out?

 

Well they were used so they were banged up but with the PC you can’t really tell. Some parts are a bit bent but the person previously wheeled the shit out of them. The kick outs are also MASSIVE but I like it. Much bigger than what’s currently being given now

 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong with Rustoleum bedliner that causes every can to clog? Well, not clogged exactly as air is coming out, but no bedliner. Happens every can about 1/4 to half way through and if I invert the can to clear it it starts chucking gobs of bedliner out, but doesn't ever seem to clear the clog. So, frustrating.

 

This is usually fun. I’d go but I have my last weekend of kids soccer.

Maybe Sunday?

La Grange off road park.

 

That happened to me when I was spraying my truck boxes with that stuff. When I looked up the reviews on it, I found that is a common problem. I kept switching the nozzles that were working for me to the next can... and the ones that were clogged, I soaked in acetone.

I ended up having to exchange about 1/3 of the cans, for new ones though.

 

Just take them to TCS suspension they are great and can’t beat their price for powder

 

what up 209 taco boys!

I'm in stockton, just made an account yesterday and have just been lurking and you can imagine my surprise seeing "209 TACOS" as the newest thread just now.

Getting a great deal on a MGM 2010 access cab in the next couple weeks, unfortunately its a 2wd but it's too good of a deal to pass up. First on my list is a 2'' level via rough country, roof top tent for xmas, then bigger wheels/tires sometime next year.

Time to lurk through the thread and see what you hooligan's have been up to

 

Welcome brotha!

Hope to see you around. Hopefully we'll have a get together soon, maybe you can come meet some of the group.

 

Started cleaning some of the parts today.

The hubs were coated with baked on grease.

Ended up taking the manual locks apart. Glad I did. The O ring for the dial face was completely rotted. Need to order a new set.

The dials were pretty worked over. Cleaned them up but ran out of day light. Tomorrow I'll spray the dial and trim ring with a bit of spray paint.

Got everything as clean as I need it. Got rid of the better majority of the old grease. I think this will do for me.

 

I'll throw this out there. Shot in the dark. I'm looking for an ARB locker for a 7.5 ifs diff. I'm hoping maybe to maybe find someone who put a locker in their ifs and then decided to solid axle swap, or even from a salvage truck.

I want to lock my front diff when I do the 4x swap, but I'm still not even sure what my actual budget is... and I'm leaning towards a reman transmission instead of a salvage.

$950 for a new ARB locker may be a no go. So I'm hoping maybe, somehow, I can find one cheaper. I'm on the fence about using a Spartan locker or TruTrac as a cheaper alternative.

Please, anyone, keep a look out for me.

 

When I did mine I had to haul through a can as fast as possible. I found the longer I took the more it clogged

 

@foxrcing07 I'm pretty sure you have CV clamping pliers. But just makin sure. (hoping you do)

I should have everything to do my CVs by the middle/end of this week.

 

No but I have something that will work
A not super sharp pair of end cut pliers works
