Sacramento Mod/Me day 5/5/2018

Dont buy the tools, just the bushing and seal.

 

So you decide where you are going to do your install now?

As long as @Motofox doesn't increase his list into a 10hr day, should be a spot to knock yours out, looks to be about 2hrs on yours.

 

Was supposed to do it tomorrow with @jasonb but I think he is supposed to get some extended brake lines.

Does anyone have a spring compressor? I have my 6112s set to stock height but wanna increase it. I may need to get an AAL as well...

 

Also if @little squirt comes out I think I might have to since he is the master of suspensions lol

 

Hey sorry guys last night I was incredibly busy so I wasn't able to check up on here.

 

I got da tools

I got one of those too

 

I do have a seal that I'm not going to use.

 

Any reason (other than not taking all day) i shouldnt order the passenger side bearing?

I know its not the source of vibe issues, but ya know, always better to do both sides at the same time.

I still think im only up to like 5+* hours, ill park my shit on the street if i have too, FNG trying to do the most lol

 

Never heard the passenger had an issue. Supposedly a different type of bearing on that side.

 

Yeah, its a standard tube bearing on the passenger side, would need a different tool im sure. I have yet to hear anything bad about it, I'll leave it alone for the sake of time and necessity. I might order it and just hold onto it until my next fluid change, broken CV, leaky seal, or any excuse really.(Minor OCD?)


Edit: Ill probably save the bushing/front diff for last and depending on what time it is make the call. I do think im underestimating the man hours lol. Last truck i wrenched on my was 83 K10... about a decade ago

 

@roguegs @jasonb So I presume both of you planing to do your lifts here? Just figuring out a game plan so everyone can get there things done. All everyone ask in return for helping you out, is be willing to help others out down the road, dont be a stranger after where done.
@DylansBase I know possible you will be later. I do have a welder, but I'm running flux core on it. It leaves a LOT of blueberries on bear metal. Lot of clean up. I do have a bottle of argon/cd gas if that's a problem and someone can bring a welder with solid wire.
@Motofox can get to all off your stuff NP, will just have to juggle a bit.

 

Wife caught me sippin on some mountain man lemonade. Burbon and mountain dew.
Doing a little yardwork.

Viva AMERICA

 

Think you need to borrow Dons shorts.

 

U sixy beach

 

i can bring my Miller 110 with gas , just needs a basic extension cord and burns things in nice!

my CMC



and burned on spindle gussets.



I always test on mine first, second/third time is a charm or better!

 

That's one way to MAGA...

 

Should I snag an AAL to increase height on the rear as well before saturday?

Don't think I can snag a set of UCAs beforehand but I dont plan on going over 3 inches.

 

Appreciate it. Waiting on feedback, let you know.

I just tried to do them dimes on my skids, first time in decades,looks about the same. I'll just stick to my structural style welds.

 

I've ran stock uca with 3".

 

no worries, just trying to plan things out, i can't roll dime rolls but can help if needed
