He must of saw your tires

 

I need help here. Just put a lift on my 2008 sport. Did it myself.. two struts with coils and a AAL. Went to get a alignment and they cant get the cambers off. They said they need to cut the bolts out and torch the bushings. I found online I can get all 4 camber washers with bolts and new bushings for like $170.00 shipped to me. My questions is how hard will it be to cut the old ones out? What do I use? Im thinking a sawzaw will not do the trick. I'm not about to spend $1,000 for a shop to do this.

Good luck.... once u cut the eccentrics out, u still have to press out and in the new bushings.

 

What can I use to cut the eccentrics out with? Cant I rent a bushing puller from a auto store?

 

I use a 4 inch wheel on my cutoff tool. And an air hammer with a special cutting bit.

And no a bushing puller won't do it. We use a 20 ton press at work. Its a hell of a job.

 

Sean why do you keep interviewing for new jobs? You know you can't leave Colorado.

Plus you need to come camping now that I bought the toy hauler, it will make it easy for the kiddos

 

I'm sitting at the exit of carnage at the moment. Watched a few people come up. I guess somebody flopped a bit back so we're waiting. No idea what's taking them so long though. Thank god I have Internet. Lol

 

Gonna try and go one of the last weekends in September.

 

I've read so many stories about this happening and never had an issue. Then, yesterday, as we left Moab I looked at the display and didn't see anything. I thought it was just dark, and moved my sunglasses like a few days before. Nothing. Whacked it with my knuckles and it lit up bright. Now I'm wondering if it just had started going dim some time ago and I never noticed. Guess I'm going to have to do the fix too.

I sit on the fence between these groups, and quite frankly there's extremists and asshats on both sides. As with anything like this really. I mean you see things about people sabotaging mountain bike trails and at the same time people going in and building all-new, illegal trails on public lands (and I mean like ramps and elevated curves and actual trail construction). Are the comments made there (well, not the sabotage which is pretty extreme) any different than the comments about hikers (or tree-huggers/environmentalists) made here?

Sometimes uses conflict, and groups have differing opinions. Both sides tend to trash talk the other. The extremists are out of line, and you can bet I'd report that shit from either side. I try not to stereotype either side - the vast majority of hikers I've come across as a 4x4er and 4x4ers I've run into as a hiker are nice people, pretty much the same friendly and helpful to either side. But there is that small percentage who are asshats on both sides - either to the other groups or others within their group. I prefer to judge the individual on their actions and attitude as opposed to their mode of transportation.

If I could like this ten times I would have. It was my first thought as well when I read the post. Bitch about the 4x4 community tearing up the land, then talk about hikers creating social trails all over the place like it's perfectly ok. How hypocritical. It's not like bushwhacking is a bad thing if done correctly, but when you start making trails that's no longer bushwhacking. It's making a bypass, and just like the 4x4 community you need to stay the trail, get your feet wet and wade the obstacle, or turn the fuck around (much like how trails get widened as people try to go around mud puddles - wear proper footwear and walk through that shit moron). I've ferried hikers across water crossings like that before and they were grateful for it.

 

for pictures

 

So i guess I should have posted this in here.....Wondering if any one can help me find some good places to fish that's away from the usual crowded areas. No I am not asking for anyone to give up their secret spots....just want to get away from the people, if that's possible, and do a little fly fishing and camping. I am definitely not afraid to hike to places and would love to take my new tacoma up new roads. Im in the springs and have lived here only a couple of years. Thanks

 

Tarryall just west of you is often overlooked, pretty much any place that needs a hike over a mile, eliminates 90% of the fly fishers from my observation

 

You can use a sawzall but be prepared to use like five blades lol

 

Ha nice ! I took it to Firestone and they were able to get the bolts turned a bit but not all the way so the alignment was pretty good but not right on. Thinking about just replacing both control arms with new camber kit.

 

..
Nice you could get LR Ucas and they can adjust camber and caster from there its not fixing the issue but you would have more adjustment.
