Vegas BS Thread!

Milk that warranty if you need it until you get yours. I'm still on warranty too but I don't give a shhh. I want TC LCAs now. Not two years from now or however long it is.

 

I can help you take it to the dumpster. That's easy.

 

Very tempting, but I think we'd need 3 or 4 dumpsters.

 

We can go to 3 or 4 shopping centers.

To get back on track tho... I may be able to use the in-laws' garage if that helps.

 

Yeah I am! My Light Racing UCA ball joints were bad too, I think that's because of the lowers being bad too and putting more stress on the uppers. But those were easy, new ball joints were $60 and took an hour to do. It literally took me longer to jack up the truck and take the tire off than to change them out. Once the truck is paid off (4 years left) I'll probably redo my suspension with Kings coil overs with remote resi's TC upper and lower control arms, likely Kings in the rear with better bump stops, and not sure on what leaf pack. Like I said, thats 4 years from now so it may all change, lol. Right now, my list is a bumper, sliders, 50"radial roof mount light bar, maxtracc spindles, dakar leaf pack, and run 35's, but who knows when I'll have the money for all that. I knew having a kid would be expensive, but damn! Didn't know it would be this much, lol

 

You could rob a bank or armored truck.... Or hell put it all on black!!!

 

I've thought about it, just not a big gambler. I'm hoping the truck parts I put up for sale will sell for what I want along with my Mogoose BMX bike. Have a bunch of 2" little figurines of Marvel characters that I've been collecting for years now just sitting in the garage (I'm sort of a comic book nerd), I may try to sell some so I can get closer to getting a bumper.

 

Anyways, if you're able to find a place to install the LCA's I may be able to swing by and help, I don't have the space or tools for it. I think there is something I'm suppose to do this weekend but not positive, I'm sure the wife will remind me though, lol.

 

We could actually fit 3/4 of your truck inside the garage and have about two feet of space on either side...might be able to make a little more room. I have tools (I don't think special tools are required). My torque wrench is really old and I don't know how well it works. I've never worked on LCA's so I don't want to mess you up, but I'm game if you're willing. It might rain on Saturday too.

 

I've never done them either but it's just removing the 2 attach bolts and then the ball joint from the spindle. I just don't know what you have to remove prior to that. One thing though, the night before you work on them spray the attach points with some WD40 or some other kind of lubricant and let it sit over night and then again in the morning. This can help to make the removal process a little easier

 

Well I don't think it should be that hard. I don't have jack stands or a torque wrench. A pry bar might be a good idea too. I think between the three of us idiots we could figure it out. You guys free on the weekdays? Wednesday or Thursday maybe.?

 

I have two jack stands and I could get a pry bar. I work Mon - Fri and don't always know when I'll get done. So weekends are it for me.

 

Sounds good to me. Just let me know if anything changes and you want to do it during the week. I'll PM you my number.

 

Same here, I work Mon-Thurs with the occasional Friday and this Friday I'm working, along with next Friday. Are you lifted? Just need to make sure the axle stand will reach. When I changed my ball joints I had to put my buddies axle stands on top of 3 landscaping pavers that I have my grill sitting on cause they wouldn't reach

 

Just fyi...I have a set of O/R wheels for sale $100, 08 non led tail lights $60, a black non jbl single disc radio $40, a 24" mossberg 500 barrel with tru-glo sights $100, and a pair of Oakley Half Jackets non polarized in near perfect condition $75. If you or anyone you know interested. Trying to speed up the saving process so I can get a bumper made.

 

I honestly couldn't tell you. It's the barrel that came with it when I bought it. It's the mossier 500 "turkey thugs" model, if that means anything.

Here's the pictures

 

Taco5326 and I are doing the work this Sunday at about 9am. If you can make it, I'll PM you my address.

 

I may be able to make. Wife is talking about checking out a church that she's been wanting to go to so I said I'd go with her and take the little one.

 

Which church?

 

Canyon Ridge on Jones and Ann I think.
