The Lair

How in the hell were you able to drive all the way up there and wheel after the day we had. You're a freakin machine!

 

That’s a good question! I slept for almost 12 hours last night. I was so tired, but am gonna go out and play some disc golf today and maybe rock climb too.

 

I'm surprised I'm golfing today after the weekend I had. Too nice of a day to waste it.

 

Exactly! Plus it’ll help the day go by faster. Kara gets home Wednesday night and I can’t wait.

 

Nice!!!!!!

 

That's like 2.5 hours for #RandyFab

 

Great pics! Nice the way you find the perfect color mud to match the color of the vinyl! LOL

 

Very cool John! Is that a Mobtown bumper?

 

Pro secret ... I just dumped a few gallons of orange gatorade on the mud then instantly snapped the pic.

 

No freaking way!!!!! I wanted to take off today I was still tired and wore the hell out. Of course, being a little under the weather doesn't help. Ahh who the hell am I kidding, I am old and freakin' lazy!

 

So just an FYI @EatSleepTacos I drove the truck yesterday. I went down the common drive to the road (driving normally this time), made a left and went all the way to the end at the stop sign and back. I stopped mid way to the stop sign and did a mild take off (mild for me is a somewhat aggressive launch for most) and I had the truck up to 60 mph at least twice.

I didn't feel any vibes.

It did feel like it was decelerating a little quicker than normal though when I stopped to do the take off. But I am going to attribute that to the need for the alignment and not anything binding in the drive line. Could be too, when we had to hold the brake on to break those lugs lose the pistons in the calipers need to back off some.

 

I wouldn’t think too much into it. If anything was binding, you’d know! It wouldn’t be a steady deceleration. It may also be in your head. Whenever I do work on the truck I’m always a little paranoid I fucked up and my truck is dying.

 

Brute force Rob, shipping would suck for a mob town to the west

 

My wacky brain is now visualizing a rope or cable looped around the axle inner and a HiLift pulling the axle out horizontally.

Hmmmm...

 

Yea, after watching the entire install process and the final QA/QC I have no fears of anything being fucked up, that's for sure. Why I am sure the alignment is off. It looks like positive camber from the front, a little, and I'm sure the caster needs to be adjusted and that should help right? But since it seems so much higher I thought maybe it might be binding but without any vibes, as you said, that is not the case.

Oh, am I just requesting as much caster as possible or is there a set amount I should ask for? 3%? 4%?

 

We briefly considered hooking the winch to the CV....

 

Ask for 0° toe/camber and about 3°-3.5° caster

 

Sorry, I mean degrees, not percent. Got work on the brain right now.

Thanks!!

Of course the alignment is scheduled for this Thursday and they are calling for rain

Not that rain matters but shit!

 

The rope or cable works but there should be another way to apply the force.
