Sad. RIP Land Shark

 

1st gen ftw

 

Is it a second gen ? Google the videos for the pipe drop method, DO NOT try to use your press it takes a 20 ton press to bust the snap ring

 

What that a TT?

 

Yes, Class 1 truggy. The "Landshark" probably the most iconic offroad car ever built, well ahead of its time. A piece of living history, hopefully it can be rebuilt.

 

I have a 20 ton press. Doubt I can press it out anyways. It needs to be pulled vs compressed.

 

is it a second gen?

 

Yes. Only 20k on the truck.

 

the snap ring thats in there will eventually line itself up and the shaft will slide out. just keep tapping lightly around it to try and get it centered, eventually you'll get it lined up and off it comes. once its set it comes off relatively easy but its a bitch to get started

 

I've beat the shit out of this thing. Not budging. Saying I just need to tap on it ?

 

there's a c clip on the shaft, you need to center it by gently tapping around the race then it should with enough force start to pull the shaft out. its hard to explain in text, maybe someone else can word it better than I can but if its not pretty much perfectly situated youre not going to get anywhere. I'm sure there's a video online somewhere.

Anybody got pics of trucks with rear led bars?

 

Not a great pic but I just switched to this one, nice and low profile, has reds, ambers and clear back up, the ambers strobe

I bought it off instagram

Can someone refer me to the place to get a spanner wrench to adjust my king coilovers?

 

Are they newer kings ? Does your collar have round holes in it ? If so they do not use a spanner wrench they use a round steel rod...either way call @Downsouth Motorsports they can get you the right tool.

 

Yeah they are newer kings yeah they have the holes.

Thanks man, sounds like I should just call em.

 

Looks pretty darn good. Ill probably endup getting that one, since its so low profile and many color choices and cheap. Is it pretty durable consruction? I wonder how mine would look under the third taillight , since I would turn it off on road.

 

Get a punch set from the hardware store, one of them will fit.

 

Nice. I like some of their "front" bars with amber sides! How do they look n feel in person? Does look well made. I have got a few China pods and all got moisture in them right away!
