The Lair

Any gnarly vibes yet? Any driving differences so far?

 

Braking a little weaker with the added weight?

 

I really haven’t driven much. Took it on the highway for a mile and had a little vibe starting around 50. Def need a balance before any long trips.

 

I’m always engine braking so honestly I couldn’t tell you. I can’t tell a difference.

 

Did you get any qoutes on having the tires mounted on the beadlocks for you?

 

I didn’t. I assumed no one would touch them due to liability plus I can mount them on my own. I also wanted to know that the bolts were installed correctly since they’re so critical.

 

Ordered some powertank monster valves. Gonna have a friend help my install them so my hands don’t fall off again with those damn bolts.

 

That the non-drill version??

 

Yeah, specific to the kmc wheels

 

ALSO MY REAR SHOCKS SHIPPED.

 

How long was your total wait?

 

15 weeks on the dot

 

There is hope!!!

 

I was pleasantly surprised to get the email

 

Now UPS will jerk you around on the delivery.

 

I'm not holding my breath but also secretly hoping it'll be sooner.

 

I love UPS. It’s FedEx and usps I have issues with. And of course my shocks shipped FedEx.

 

Empty box on delivery

 

I didn't wanna clog up that thread anymore so thought I'd reply in here. I put the bushing in the freezer before the install first to shrink it a little. Then use just the driver and a 3lb hammer to get it started in the diff, nice and square. Then separate my jack handle (or use the whole ass handle) and hammer on it with that. Takes only a few good swings and it's in there.

 

Holy shit, I found my blurple twin from washington state.
