Just saying I wouldn't trust a spark plug socket to 85ft.lbs

 

I'm going to check them after 50 or so miles. That is the same socket I used when I regularly rotated my tires in my old car and I never had an issue.

 

Got some rubbing. It was mostly on the front mud flaps. Took them off and it looked weird so I cut them up where it was rubbing. You can't see it when they are back on the truck. Now it is rubbing in 1 spot when I turn it hard to the right on a part of the actual fender. I'll have to cut it tomorrow. Spent enough time on it today.

Side note, the first time I heard tire rub from inside the cabin I had a panic attack that my wheel was taking off...

Double side note, where can I buy those little black plugs that pop in to attach things like the mud flaps and bottom of the bumper. They go in then you push the top down and it flares out three prongs so it can't back out. Broke a couple and found some spots where they've fell out that need to be replaced...

 

Ok - spent more time trimming to stop the rubbing. I have it mostly nipped now except for extreme right turns, like beyond what you would do for a u-turn. In hindsight I wish I had just removed the front mud flaps until after I got my lift installed (its in the mail) and then retested for rubbing at the new height. No big deal, the trimming isn't noticeable at all, just might've saved myself some blood, sweat, and tears...lesson learned...

On that note. Who would be available to help with my lift possibly late next week(Wakefield/Wake Forest area...I have beer)? I am putting spacers up front (I know, you don't like them - but they were free so why not?) and AAL in the back. Looks to be a fairly simple process but it would be even easier if I had an extra set of hands (or 2 or 3 of them) and more substantial equipment aside from my stock jack and 'spark plug' sockets...

 

yeas fairly easy (with good correct tools) but kinda time consuming. My original i did by myself it really sucks doing it solo

 

Hey guys, is 75w140 diff fluid a good idea? Doing my gears this weekend and the tech who is helping said he uses it in jeeps as a "heavy" duty unlike 75w90 as regular duty. He isn't scamming me for more money he just has extra on hand so he is giving it to me.

 

Just did gears and lockers from ECGS they recommend non-synthetic 85-140

 

Tim whatever you posted doesn't show up for me. What's wverybody doing tonight?

 

I'm in Emerald Isle. Seen a lot of Tacos out here. Any of ya'll? I was actually in Morehead City for dinner and saw a 1st gen. With a yellow smiley face front license plate and I thought...hey, wait a minute...

 

Hey I never ran into you! I saw your truck at the outpost Saturday afternoon but never you! Lol what happened?

 

I wheeled in my buddies jeep fri, had to fight it the whole time (it had many issues), then we ended up having to head home mid day sat. whenever there another meet, ill be in. And congratulations!

 

Sucks thou, after seeing some of the other guys trucks i think mine will need 35"s

 

You have a voicemail

 

OK. I'll check them tomorrow.

 

Haha I think he meant in your screenshot

 

Lol maybe. Verizon called to pay the bill

 

Get 37's Like Cap, Looks badass...

 

Think going to start the motions for 35's when need new tires, which will be before end of summer. 35's are good for that one. my 81 (The Seagull) has 38.5's so ill have variety
