Keystone State Thread

I mean people have had trouble with the seals after they reinstall them, but they're literally a plastic sleeve which is nearly impossible to screw up.

 

Oh yeah I’ve been experiencing it right when I lifted about a year ago, I figured if I’m going to do wheel bearings might as well do the bushings

 

Alright this may be a stupid question, but do most people replace both sides with ecgs bushings? I know the passenger side is a ball bearing.

 

@PCTaco nevermind haha @skatefreak282 thanks!

 

Nope, you just replace the driver's side.

 

What problems are you having again? I forgot and I'm to lazy to search

 

Unfortunately the route I had to go as well. But add a stud and finally move on. I wish I had the knowledge and confidence to just jump into cutting and welding like you have. CMC and pinch weld smash are hopefully on the agenda for late summer. Then 285's because I won't be able to afford re-gear for a couple years, and have armor priorities.

 

I need ink therapy!!! Need an idea first. I have some basic themes, but not how to tie it all together.

 

Reach out to @Nimble9 and his Square One solutions. He is doing custom designed aluminum work. The only suggestion I can give other than maybe some others with a similar style military trailer.

 

Welcome!

 

How does one go about finding and buying a part's truck? I'm so sick and tired of not hearing of any Tacomas in junkyards and everything on the board being from like California, Colorado, or Texas and shipping suck-i-fies all the parts transactions we east-coasters could accomplish.

 

Look up cop art.com

 

Interesting... Do you use that site? Ever buy one off there?

 

I have not. But I know people who have.

 

Keep looking Just what year do you need ??

I bought 3 or 4 parts trucks but they are mid-eighties

You need to know how much your willing to spend don`t forget the cost of getting it home .

You also need to figure out just what you need 4x4 drive train blown engine ???

Good front clip cab parts rear ended those kinds of things

I am sure you must know someone that goes to insurance auctions tell them what your looking for

When one comes up with what you need don`t waste time.

 

Cruising on your bumpstops in a lifted truck down i80 is quite entertaining.

 

Building a Bumper is pretty easy I am sure you could make it happen.

Your working for the most on nice clean steel or it will be

fun welding is when your laying on the floor welding a floor in a garbage truck you can never get things clean and the heat cooks out strange and interesting things.
Bumpers are easy!!

 

Try welding in a gut auger, that's fun too!

 

FIFY

 

I've been cutting up and fucking up stuff for years, sorta to the point where I am fairly confident I won't fuck up too bad anymore.
