Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Pretty sure you should only use a dry lube, or purchase the thin shims made to allow them to move quietly and smoothly over each other(I forget their technical name). That lube might be okay right now, but it's going to collect dirt and rocks and probably make any noise worse.

 

well i didn't need thr rest of it so i said fuck it let's grease these fuckers up! and I couldn't rotate them by hand unless I disassembled them and didnt want to deal with that. I will be getting UCA's at one point

 

I'm GoBlue82 and I approve this comment.

Correct you are, found it

 

Nowww if only I can figure out that member who originally told us about it. Believe he's on the staff or some sort
@ODNAREM

 

My Deavers don't squeak, but my springs on a few of my other trucks did. I did the old trick of using bicycle inner tubes.

Like I said, any time bro

And it didn't stay the BrokeTaco!

Some people don't know how to do that shit. Yeah its easy, but once you figure it out. If you don't know how you end up like the infamous @Krazie Sj. That 2.7 has the most involved spark plug job I've ever seen so I don't blame Nick for wanting a hand. I'm not gonna bother getting into a debate with you about whether or not the engine needed cleaning because you'll think you're right either way, but there was more to this than just maintenance. Nick learned a lot of shit and a lot of it came from the stuff that "didn't need to be done," and that's what's important.

I don't understand why you gotta shit on any topic that involves me. Someone brings up my 4runner and you immediately start talking shit on how it'll never be done. That's what's trully doesn't need to be done. You rip on us when we're worried about doing something because we lack experience, then when we finally start trying to do it you get on us for not having the experience. Just because you don't agree with how we did things doesn't mean you gotta devalue what we did. Its his truck, not yours, let him handle his business. No one said shit when you fried a whole bunch of your electronics.

Apologies to the rest of you fine TW people for the rant. I know a lot of you don't like this bs, just tired of seeing the shit talk on everything I do, especially after the mods have said it needed to end months ago and it never did. Anyways, I'm done. Back to the usual bs!

I've got one too, but its super shitty. Gonna redo it when things start happening

STOP CALLING IT THE BLOODRUNNER! HIS NAME IS PEDRO!

 

"Pedro the Precummer"

Someone please make that a sticker so we can name it that for real @ninjastar808 @Dangerousd1987

 

Certainly the frugal and effective way to do it. I believe there's a company out there that actually makes rubber sleeves to insert each spring into and then re-assembling the pack. However, that's just paying way too much then needed when the bike tubes are just as effective. I like what this guy did as well:

Nice!

Spray on graphite has been working really well for me!

 

Leaf spring liners for those interested:

My Dakars haven't squeaked yet but when they do I'll probably try the zip tie method and hit them with some spray graphite and if that doesn't work I'll use bike tubes.

@Dangerousd1987 where & how did you make the Nicklovin sticker.... might need to make myself another sticker soon

 

@Dangerousd1987 don't tell him. Just make it to say Pedro!

 

@Nicklovin Here ya go!

 

^^I should be there with the Taquito

 

Thinking I might start a thread to get a group together for this

 

so IIRC cleghorn is prerunner friendly right? trying to head out there within the next few weekends before I leave for AZ. I was going to go with a friend (if he can make it in his pre runner) and anyone that would want to go. Also been thinking about the yellow wire mod but I have to see if it does anything for me.

 

Holla at me when you want to go I'll join up

 

IIRC?
Ya cleghorn is absolutely 2wd friendly, it has many split off road that vary in difficulty which all returnback to the main road. As long as you stick to the main road you'll be A okay
I may join along, let me know when

 

IIRC - If I Recall Correctly
If the other guys in wheelers' annonymous don't go out to Rowher I'm down to cruise up to Cleghorn this weekend
