I was thinking about it. Depends on the weather.

 

I might show up - working on house projects at the moment tho

 

Heading out to Rigs and Coffee at Artemis Overland

 

I saw your truck there, love the front bumper. I had to head out, just swing by for a few min.

 

Nice! We’re about to leave and get lunch. Black sheep

 

Maybe the weather will be better for more outdoor stuff next month!

 

Yessss can’t wait for camping coming up before it gets stupid hot.

 

Recommendations on an alignment. No aftermarket UCA currently, but will be running Toytec Aluma 2.0 set at around 2". Plaza has a lifetime option (as does Firestone) but wanted to see if anyone has had their alignment done there.

 

I’m in same boat. My buddies buddy uses Firestone on Glenstone near cherry street for his Jeep. I have a appointment next week for my alignment. I will report back.

 

Meant to ask also, do you recommend anyone local to install ECGS Bushing? Lifted my truck this weekend and now I have the dreaded vibration. Bushing already ordered. @uploadadventure any ideas?

 

Pretty sure @uploadadventure did the install himself. He’ll probably help you out if you ask.

some of the KC guys have done it as well

 

I guess I'm going to attempt it. If someone local has the tool I can borrow or purchase from you, just PM me.

 

@Sociopenguin i think has one. And I think @uploadadventure has one

 

I subcontract all mine to @Slashaar

 

Get a race driver and the ECGS bushing removal tool. Pull the CV shaft and move the spindle out of the way. Beyond that the hardest part is getting the tool behind the bushing. The key is moving the spindle out of the way. Otherwise you'll have a bad time like me, almost breaking my fingers several times trying to swing a mini sledge in 5" of space.

 

I think everyone got you squared away. ECGS bushing.

I haven’t done it personally, but it’s not that hard. If you need a hand we can probably knock it out.
