Happy Bday @DrFunker

 

Hey guys. Just putting it out there that I bought a OME lift for my 17 Tacoma. Springs and shocks for the front are already assembled. And I brought the Eggs bushing for the cv axel. Back is leaf packs, extended brake lines and shocks. Got the full kit. Couple of shops want to charge a grand for installation and that’s really expensive. Is there anyone that has a shop or does work on the side and wanna install it for me and show me what I’m doing?


I totally have cash and beer and I figured once a gets warmer and April someone could help me and install it. I would rather support you guys and learn what I’m doing then having a shop doing it. Let me know when you can message me on here. Thank you

 

Hows the snowfall spread out there?

They havent plowed here yet.
If I cant get the van out, taking the taco....

 

Got a good amount here in Nashua

 

Not too much here. 4-6? Dunno, didnt measure.
Wet. The wet snow on the half frozen soup(mud)... van is stuck.
Oh well. At least I get a civilized ride in.

 

@tacobell007 any advice to for the Ecgs bearing ? Most anyone else can help with the suspension

 

So.



Anyone have any tips when it comes to buying a home? At the point where we have found a house.

 

Patience and do it like a NASCAR pit stop. But seriously, it is pretty straight forward, bag in the diff just beyond the bearing, remove bearing, hammer the bushing home, new seal if needed, axle back in after you remove the plastic bag. Throw the bushing in the freezer before you even jack the truck up

 

Thank you Drew!
There you go @aidenhardcore

 

@mach1man001

 

@tacobell007 do you use a bearing driver when installing? I got the removal tool, but putting the bearing in the freezer ? I'll pay you lol

 

First things first, do you have a real estate agent? If not, ask around and find one quickly. Word of mouth recommendations are generally good for them, they work on their reputation. After that, if you put in an offer and it gets accepted, a good home inspection is valuable. I work in construction so I generally knew what I was buying with our first house but the home inspector came up with a few items that I didn't think to look for or didn't even notice. Otherwise, it's a huge investment, as a LOT of questions. We went through a mortgage broker and I'll never do that again. It was a miserable experience and they were irresponsible.

Good luck!

 

What kind of issues should I be aware of with a mortgage broker?

 

Morning y'all! How's the weather up there?

Really cold down here. Like 22* this morning when it's been in the 40s and 50s for the last week. Going to be cold for a few more days, but no snow or anything.
