NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I get it.

 

They had a few on the shelf so they let me pick. I compared the new ones to my old ones and they had a couple that the shafts looked to be a smaller diameter than OEM and a few different markings. One of the ones I picked had the green tag/marking on the shaft like the OEMs. Otherwise everything looked the same.

 

Got any plans after work? Seen that dirty bear around your house lately? Nic and I are gonna see if we can't find it later today.

 

They use chinese parts in the joints that break, typically never the shaft that breaks.

 

By the time I get home it's damn near dark

 

I'm heading to Taneum on Friday Mid-morning, I'll be there until Monday.

Spike only GMU shoot me a text if your interested

 

Game over......

 

Went up Beckler road today with my boys. I thought I'd flex a little. I figured out I need to shim my new bumpstops. They compress under partial flex. Looks like I'll need a about a half inch spacer under the wheelers bumps.

 

Square washers, as used with unistrut would be your friend. They run 1/4" thick, commonly with 1/2" hole, and about 1-5/8" square. 2 of those and you're set. I probably have 4 of them in my garage, but you should also be able to find them at hardware stores, from electricians, electrical supply houses, and probably pipe fitters too.

 

Good idea... I have a ton of them at work. I forgot they are zink plated as well. I ordered a shackle flip kit so for sure they need to be adjusted.

Dual lockers didn't help that guy much! I woulda just gone around! I notice the rest of the group are on like 40s!
Watching that reminds me that I need to re route my exhaust and get my t skid on..it's been in my garage for about 2 years!

 

I need to do mine as well

 

um, that would be a poor decision to post that on Pirate4x4.

 

I agree with Dakota. Anything that isn't a Toyota CV, CVJ rebuild, or those crazy overbuilt ones won't mate up perfectly and will leak. Happened to me and i caught it just in time.

I don't have the flip, but I'm thinking I actually need to take the spacers out. Feels like I'm contacting too soon and it's really really harsh. There's a lot of construction in my area and the big bumps are great in front, pretty bad in rear. Used to feel fine with stock bumps (because I never contacted them, lol)

 

That's the most retardedest line you could have done, holy crap. I would think the right side of the trail could have worked.

 

THIS^^ I almost forgot about the issue of not mating up correctly.

 

Whenever my stock ones hit it felt like I was going to loose a filling in my teeth... harsh

 

That makes 3 of us!

 

I guess I should ask to be put on the list. I want to do things and stuff with you guys.
