Nope tried that when servco screwed up on my first oil change by only hand tigten my lug nuts and tire came offf and was riding my rear drum brakes. Get two toyotas toyota usa and toyota hawaii in which alaska is under hawaii section if i remember right. Toyota usa no can deal with us only toyota hawaii.

 

yeah I wrench on my own vehicles, ive had plenty of practice lol. I owned many older toyota trucks will all over 100k miles so things always went out and I fixed it myself cause labor rates suck, but so do bloody knuckles but those heal faster than the wallet lol.

figured this would be a simple 20min oil change...nope spent 20mins to get the oil filter to budge before I let out a few cuss words and called it a day. worst case scenario the oil filter wont come off with the wrench and I gotta take it in, which will suck even more or I break something. I was debating trading in my reg cab for an access or 4door so that sounds even better if I gotta take it in for a oil change haha

 

Howzit guys. Looking for a new 200v mig welder. can anyone get deals at gaspro or another welder dealer? Let me know pls. Mahaloz.

 

I just bought a 73mm filter wrench from Matco if you like borrow.

 

Or you can buy a good strap wrench and use that for your filter and alot of other shit you need to loosen on your truck later.

 

Straight up go to the triple B then. I guess hats the nice thing about Nissan. They aren't quite as popular so all 50 states fall under Nissan North America. I wrote a letter for them about my rear axle issues with King Windward, just haven't sent it yet lol.

 

Um when you're looking at issues that involve going up against the corporate company itself you actually want lawyer up. I've had to get a lawyer when we bought a FX45 and the dealer misrepsresnted its features and condition. When I went on my own they refused to take the care back and give me a refund. So I had my attorney draft a letter and then they gladly gave it back.

 

I just use my hands and death grip it

I do have one of those metal strap wrenches to fall back on too...encase i'm feeling weak hehe

 

I made sure I just hand tightened the filter this last oil change. The filter was super tight after Servco did the first oil change. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be that tight though. It would pretty much suck if that filter fitting got damaged from over tightening.

 

I always end up tightening the filter too tight. Have an adjustable filter wrench that pops onto my socket.

Mike - the LCA bushings should be in on Friday.

I almost always wrench my own stuff, or have friends help.. but these bushings.. unless someone 100% knows how, I guess I'l hhave to fork over the wallet..

 

i just hand tighten the oil filter the hardest i can with my left hand and put oil on the o ring before putting it on.

 

Pretty much what I do too. And the K&N filters have a 1 inch but welded on so no big deal to take off.

 

anyone have FN Five star rims on their trucks? i wanted to see some locally and see how much they stick out

 

I take it you get a lot of practice with those hands Mike...

Btw...switches w/rockers ordered...

 

If I remember to, i'll loosen the filter while its cold...since hot metal expands. Can get a good grip and not burn the fuck out of my hands

I pressed in some moog joints into a djm lca&uca, pressing the out the stock one and putting in a new one should be pretty easy. if you can deal without the truck for a lil bit.

some have said I give good massages

Sunday?

 

lol..

Have to play it by ear on Sunday. Not that I have any plans, but still waiting on parts to arrive. I'll let ya know...

Actually the light bar gets here today...but the switches not sure yet..

 

So stoked I just had to share. Slapped on some 285's yesterday and they fit like a glove! a tad of rubbing uca when the wheel is fully cranked but that's it. I want to lift the front a bit more now. Anyone know if I can set my 5100's at .85 with my 885's?

 

NO. Don't do that. Are you running top plate spacers on top of the 885?

 

no just the 1/4 inch lean spacer with the 5100 @ 0'
