Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Yeah lol. Saw a few sets sitting in the driveway today while people were working on lifts, but they were already spoken for lol

 

I'll have some Dakars for you once my new leafs arrive.

 

alcan or deaver?

 

Awesome!

 

Late night skid plate straightening does not involve bfh. This didn't work very well though. Don't worry- that strap was already relegated to controlled environments and will never see the trail again.



It moved...a little.



Any suggestions? I'm either going to take it to someone who has a press or live with it. Maybe try a bfh, but I'm skeptical that it would be effective. I'm not concerned with the cosmetics of my underbelly.

 

why? they wont line up? flatten out when bolting with a jack.

 

Bent upward. Not sure if they'll line up since they were removed for the regear. Not going to put them back on until the 500 mile drain & fill this week. I'm also going to change out the tranny & t-case fluid while I'm at it and maybe get the crossover done if there's time before the weekend. Probably just going to leave the dents and call it good. Hate painting over dents, but fuck it.

When I hammer mine out I block it up on a couple 2x4s, put in some ear plugs, close the garage door so the neighbors don't think I'm weirder than they already do, and go to town with a 10lb sledge. Steel is pretty malleable when you're wailing on it with full overhead swings with a hefty sledge.

 

I usually lay mine across some boards and then drive over them. Depending on the drive up, board in front to ramp onto first.

 

I have some deavers for sale. J66 10 pack, ran them on my truck for only 14 k. Anyone interested?

 

When you're at a Tap House having something from Turlock called "Dump Truck of the Gods", you should probably worry more about whether you are wearing underwear or not. 15% ABV

 

Expo 2's.

I'm getting a really good deal on them and I don't have time to measure my truck to get all the details for custom.

 

Custom or GTFO.

 

Yup. I'll have a set of expos to get rid of too. About a month before mine will be ready

 

It's safe.



Mostly.





Sometimes.







Depending.

 

$8.00 for

$18 CRC MAF & Throttle Body Single-Use Twin Pack, 1 Kit

some spray + an old toothbrush. Caveman easy. Seems to idle a bit smoother and will make you feel virtuous.

 

i just install mine upside down and go crawling

 

how long did it take ? (might be a noob question sorry)

 

Standard TW answer to this question - "20 minutes, tops. Outside, at night with no tools".
Budget a couple of hours. Don't bother if you are selling your truck.
