Wyoming B.S. Thread

Dude thats just normal shop life haha I can't tell you much most shop guys HATE people like you hahahahaha they are super used to fix your fuck ups. My dad when building a new hot oil unit always speced a million or so in the budget for them to spend on man hours and materials to fix everything haha and that's on a multi million dollar hot oil unit!

I saw that shit all the time at john deere and in every other shop I've spent some time in. Those guys are the real wizards.

A shear would be cool, but I'd want a big one and I don't even want to know what that would cost. Wouldn't make it worth it. I could easily make smaller things like the Wazer or a plasma table worth it by selling small batches of things here and there.

 

Who knows. Bumpers. Shock towers. Mounting brackets for the cab. Battery trays. Things.

I don't need a full machine shop. But some of that would be be super awesome. Need a looottt of space for all that plus vehicles.

 

Tire shop is claiming most of my front end components are shot on Igor...

I know the tie rods and LBJs have about 50k on them or 60. Was planning on replacing the LBJs this fall. i had check them for play before Canada and saw no movement.

Uppers might be near shot but had planned on replacing those too.

LCAs are brand new obviously.

Little annoying to hear. Not sure how true it really is but whatever.

 

Do you trust them? Sometimes shops will say stuff like that when their main interest is to bolster their cash flow.

 

I'd definitely check things yourself. I've had them them tell me that before so I ordered the parts to do it and it ended up being play in the rack.

 

Not really. Totally know that whole thing. Figured since I was a returning person they wouldn't do that but...idk.

Yeah I will. I checked the LBJs myself and they were fine. So idk. Not that worried really, my tires are on their last two months of life anyways.

 

What tires are next? The 34” whatever you posted the other day?

 

Nah I doubt it. Biggest thing is I want a C load.



@Reh5108 was that when you tightened the guide? I torqued down my rack mounts before Canada.

 

It was awhile ago, but it may have been when I had to tighten it on the CVJ reman because the lock ring came loose.

 

Ah. Yeah mine should be torqued.

 

Picked up Igor this morning. Should left it. Short drive home I think they made it worse..



Something must be bent..damn

 

Yeah, something ain't right with that driver side LCA or the mounts for it.

edit: Your still on stock uppers correct?

 

Yeah still stock uppers

 

Then the 2.5 degrees of positive caster on the passenger side is mostly coming from your new LCA. Very curious that is isn't the same way on the driver side.

 

He can still have some caster input from the way the cams are adjusted, you can achieve almost 2.5* with that in a perfect world.

Also whatchu up to Friday night?

 

That's a shitty alignment.

Swing it by my place on your way down and we'll see if we can do better.

But if you cams are maxed/frozen, I'd say you have a bent spindle.

 

I'll be home. Big Dan is coming by to do some welding and pressing on shit. You in town? Come on over!

 

Yup, Im here from today through Tuesday

 

Well come on over and join in on the festivities.

 

I will, what time?
