Colorado B.S. Thread

I mounted mine behind the driver cubby in the bed. Cut the box and left the cover for access. It fit between the body and the bed liner perfectly.

 

Tell me again what year the second gen turned into a third gen.....

 

Given minimal design changes, I expected a 3rd gen could do it too.

 

Thank you. Ill be here all week.

 

I get what you are saying. My original thought, but think my SB might be too short

Think it's a bad idea to mount behind the spare tire almost above the rear diff? Seen a couple guys on here do it but am hesitant.

 

That would be a hell of a pop if it were right behind the bumper, full of air, and then you get plowed into from behind.....

 

Mine was short bed.

I think that location would be a bit too close to allow for flex and such.

 

I would think there is very little vertical movement at Diff, the drive shafts is not designed for it from my shade tree pov

 

Until you send it... Vertical movement.

 

Are you saying the u-joints are going to allow the drive shaft to flex vertically like that?

Haven't been under a truck in a while, doesn't seem like there's much room in the location. So i would think it's going to end up above the diff.

 

Does anyone have the Icon UCA uniball press tool? Or do you know if one of the rental tools from Advanced Auto Parts / O'Reilly will work to press out/in a uniball WITHOUT REMOVING the UCA from a 2009 FJ Cruiser? I'm helping a buddy out do some maintenance and I have all the other necessary hand tools.

Yeah you bet. I’ll be here until PCS this summer.

 

OMG WHY?????

 

That never gets old!!!

 

Yup lets all keep watching!....entertaining but a bit moronic.....kill the FORDS!

 

I have one to rent out but a discussion will have to be had about deposit ect.



Get delta joints and not have to replace the uniballs again in 1-2 years.

 

Mmmmm delta joints. My front end is so much more quiet now.
