what do you mean? You can listen to any channel legally. It's the transmitting that needs a license

 

Seriously, when I started wheeling everyone had a cb & when I finally get mine fully setup everyone is on Ham

 

I bet! Looking forward to doing it, I'm getting the coils and shocks pre-assembled and from what I've heard, that's the most difficult part...after that it's all just taking the old stuff off and bolting the new stuff in.

 

Ze is a great dude!Truck is looking sweet Alex!

 

I fear that this thread is going to end up deep in the HAM radio discussion again....

 

Yeah. Front is a lot easier than the rear because the 3 leaf AAL can be a pain.

I suggest buying some grade 8 bolts in advance for the leaf pack. I read that, then thought maybe I'd be okay. Snapped the first one and had to go buy some Grade 8 replacements. Actually had to ground down the heads of standard bolts to make them work. So expect that and plan ahead.

Also, ratcheting straps in advance to keep the rear axle where you want it was really helpful.

 

I agree! He installed my compressor for me.

Thank you!

 

@eon_blue also, not sure on 1st gens, but check the factory leaf clamp positions with the AAL. You may have to cut one of them off. I did, and didn't find out until after mounting the pack.

May not be an issue for you though.

 

AAL's suck to install haha

 

Can you guys have that discussion with google. lol

 

NO, UR STOOPID.

 

@Sandtaco So.... You did CMC, pinch weld mod, and cut the water guard to fit 33's with no rubbing right?

You didn't cut the fenders at all correct?

 

I had to get cmc then trim plastic wheel well then pinch weld mod.

I will get photos when I am home from work.

What tires are those?

 

Great! Thanks!

I got a killer deal!

 

Already tired of the crunchy plastic sound?

 

Haven't heard much of it. @Yotamac has confirmed he's doing my CMC this evening. Won't have to worry about that for very long. Hoping that I won't notice any surprise rubbing once I leave the pavement, but @Sandtaco doesn't have issues so I'm optimistic.

 

Everything is different, remember if you two have different size width tires or backspacing is different.. there's all kinds of factors to consider. Settle that you will rub and just cut whenever it does only as much as you need.

I keep a utility knife in the truck (for work, but also for trimming lol), along with a few other tools if needed. I snip and trim whenever I hear it I've basically got it all under control now. Only on an extreme stuff do I hear the tires grabbing something.

 

I have a pretty versatile selection of tools in the truck.

 

Don't forget a BFH, too...

Does a BDBH count?
