**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Heard that, I'd love to borrow an angle grinder if ya have one to spare. Other than that.. I just need a few days off work or to get my bike plated. Also wouldn't mind borrowing a torque wrench that goes up to at least 150 FT/lbs as mine is old and janky and doesn't go very high.


As far as anti-seize goes.. 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF is no F-ing joke. Stuff works so well I'm jackin with it now too.

 

Oh I'll have to try that, I just ran out of crisco.

I have an angle grinder and a torque wrench, do you want to do karate in the garage?

 

It'll have to be in the garage unless you're willing to do bunk beds. We need to be in a room with enough space for activities.

 

Definitely, let me know.

 

yup.

 

Whilst thou other thread members sleep, Greg and Gaven make small talk and bond to become one again

 

First off..my morning is officially entertained by your guys convo! Lol

I am currently out of funds due to lifting my truck and the chance of me having to buy UCAs and wheel bearings. I can get you in touch with the guy and see if he would be interested in fabbing some up or if you wanna wait a month or two for me to get the $$$ together lol up to you man

 

My front&rear suspension change on my rusty ass truck took me 24 hours of labor. I'd be more than happy to help based on where you live. Mine is my da daily driver, so I had to do it over 2 weekends.

 

If your truck is as rusty as mine, wheelsinthesky, then anticipate cutting your u bolts. My 650 ft-lb impact couldn't budge three of the nuts!

 

My u bolts were very rusty. I started spraying them with PB blaster 3 days a head of time and the impact still didn't take them off. Ended up wrestling 7 of them off with a breaker bar, even torquing 2 off, until I asked @Tretiak30 to do the last one..of course he just took a sawsall to it lol

 

Yea pb blaster helped, but the dremel did the rest

 

New Tacoma spotted near me. Good looking one too. Black DCLB with a plate bumper. Couldn't tell who's. I'll be on the lookout to find him this afternoon

 

I don't mind waiting. The more we get fabbed at a time the cheaper it would be I'd hope..

I'm actually fundless too at the moment, just wondered if you were still thinking about doing this.

Being my DD, I am concerned about starting this project. I guess if I did the shocks, coil, and UCAs all in one weekend and saved the leaf packs for another weekend I'd be okay. Unfortunately in a week or two I'll be going from 4 days a week to 6 or 7 days a week as I'm starting my 2nd job. Still haven't figured out if I need extended bumps or not..

All the offers of help I'm getting are much appreciated, but remember a lot of you guys are at least an hour away.

 

I can help too if we can find some time that works for us both..I now know how to do it thanks to last weekend
