NJ B.S. Thread

Damn I gotta do my cam tab gussets as well just haven’t found anyone to weld them for me. Can’t this weekend though. Bummer.

 

Thanks Floyd. I’ll be in NH this weekend though.

 

Online, look up “black aircraft cable”

 

Rotated my tires and made some discoveries!

@Hawk373 made me paranoid about my spacers and all we're torqued to spec but 1! I found 1 loose nut on my DS spacer! Thanks @Hawk373 for reminding me, and I hope the truck gets fixed soon!

I also found a crapload of mud on my one caliper, and both my e brake cables had a ton of run.




Here is my quick fix for the rub:









We'll see how long the zip ties last lol

 

@Nimble9 wrap a little duct tape over the top of those zippies for some extra dexterity!!!

and am I the only one who thinks those studs all look a bit bent? fatigued metal? how many miles do you have on those spacers so far??

 

Yeah @Hawk373 kinda got me going as well. I think I read that Bora recommends frequent torque check of those stud nuts. I also add threadlock.

This weekend, I also painted witness marks on each nut to be able to visually check for nut movement. Forgot to take pics.

 

I don't know if they are they seem straight to me lol and the lugs go on easy! I bought them slightly used and put maybe 50k miles on them? Wheeling and daily driving!?

Damn forgot to do that! I checked them all but totally forgot to mark it, as I specifically bought stuff to mark them haha

 

Smart move with the witness marks.

 

Too bad they can't be safety wired.

 

I use nail polish. Always available when you have two teenage daughters.

 

Someone once told me “learning should be vivid.” It was. Glad my experience is helping out.

My truck was back on its feet an hour or so after it landed on the driveway. Thankfully the rotor was good, I had @nj636 NJ Hubs on hand and spare spacers.

Today I got to charge the bumps and bypasses and wrap up the rear. These ADS are super noisy. Noisy obnoxious race car shit make me happy. Gave it a good test thrashing a few hours ago.

 

Damn. What if you have load up mulch, topsoil or gravel. Won't it go through the holes? LOL

 

Tarp, plywood maybe. I’m not scerd.

 

Looks damn good. Who made the bed cage?

 

Very nice build. You’re on the wrong coast with a setup like that - need to be hucking the dunes out in Cali with that LT.

 

Ever since I saw his truck Ive been thinking that lol

 

This guy, thanks

 

Thank you. I wish. I was just out that way for work and saw it first hand. Nevada is one great big offroad park.

 

Ha! I have three on each side for mine and they are almost at 2 years, your five should last forever.

 

Awesome work man! I can't wait to eventually have to the tools to build stuff like that!

That's promising! haha
