Thread hijack on....

I am redoing my 60 knuckles, and have the ARP hub studs from FROR. Question: what is the appropriate method to install them? Do I put a nut on the top threaded portion and use that to torque? And to what torque spec? I'd gladly take an answer in a PM...

Thanks

Hijack off......

Well, I tried to take it riding once and the front 3 link geometry was bass-ackwards and I had to rebuild it. The vertical seperation was LESS on the axle the on the frame -----> BAD! This allowed the pinion to rock back and forth about 70%

When I test drove it I only went up hills and it was rocking down but I coulndt see it from in the cab

The first time I took it out I went down a really steep hill the it rocked up into the top link. :mad3: So I had to redo the suspension.

I fabbed this to test my calculations and took it for a trip around the block. Then I decided to dump the clutch in 1-low and see how not bracing a bracket works.

The I built it again and braced it well and did the dumping the clutch in 4wd, 4hi, 4low, 4lowlow on the pavement test and everything held up.

Remounted my ram and out a cooler on it too

Shout out to Poly Performace for my new springs

Safty first

Shoutout to GrayRock ORV in Mt Olive, Alabama

Picked up a passenger

A little body rub

TachedOutOffRoad · 04-24-07, 10:20 PM

DAMAGE!
My shortened drive shaft broke at the welds :mad3: Hell fix it for free, but that didnt help this weekend.

TachedOutOffRoad · 04-24-07, 10:22 PM

More damage!
My plan was to dog it untill something broke and my goal was achieved.
I proved that my lowers are too weak

TachedOutOffRoad · 04-24-07, 10:23 PM

Shout out to my "spotter"

Sweet parting shot

Ive got a lot of work to do before a big ride in July, and if the boss lady allows it, one next month on the 18th-20th.

TachedOutOffRoad · 05-17-07, 11:31 PM

While upgrading my links from 1.75"x .120 to 2"x .375

I did this to my shop

TachedOutOffRoad · 05-17-07, 11:34 PM

And this to my tools

And this too my truck

TachedOutOffRoad · 05-17-07, 11:36 PM

Not so much fun

It was kinda neat to load my truck up with a rear link missing ------> rear steer!

A buddy from work let me park my junk in his shop for a few weeks.
Hope to take it riding on Tues after Alfa buys my new tools

Eskimo · 05-18-07, 09:15 AM

Holy shit! What happened? I mean, fire, obviously, but..

Really sucks when the FD has to come to one of their own's place, too.. BTDT.. But they did bring the cavalry once they realized where they were going.. (ex-GF's car caught fire in my driveway, in front of the garage)

Tapage · 05-18-07, 09:50 AM

I'm so sorry dude ..

TachedOutOffRoad · 05-18-07, 11:23 PM

I was welding, grinding, and torching that morning and when I came back that afternoon every window in my house was blacked-out. Usually when the fire truck comes to my house Im driving it and the lights and sirens aren't on

Fire investigator/Tachedoutoffroad president (me) has determined that something hot started a tiny fire which smoldered for seven hours and did $49,800 worth of damage to my house. PLUS all our stuff
The truck is just kinda melty. The roof, whole passenger side, mirrors, and interior panels are gooey. My home owners insurance doesn't cover my truck and I havent insured it because its not street worthy yet

Im going on a week long, high profile ride in July that I cant talk about, so Im lucky that the house didnt totally burn and destroy my truck.

Nobody was home and staying up welding in the garage is something that Ive done 1,000 times before and then gone to bed. I was lucky that this happened during the day, in an empty house.

Dusty · 05-20-07, 12:35 AM

i hurt for you. but at leaste you and yours are ok. there are lots more trucks out there to wrench on but you cant replace arms and faces and lives.

Tapage · 05-21-07, 09:08 AM

F luck ..

Again dude .. I'm so sorry .. are only 1 seg off and sh** happens.

projektdotnet · 05-28-07, 09:53 PM

Glad to hear that it was only possessions and not people hurt but still sorry to hear the damage

that stuff sucks

TachedOutOffRoad · 05-30-07, 08:55 PM

My truck finally has a name

The Dragon Wagon

I thought that "The Phoenix," "Smokey," and "Burnt Truck" were all kind of "homosexual."

I plan on going riding every weekend this month so hopefully there will be a few good pics to post.

A friend in my club is going to paint it for FREE too!

OD green anyone??

Eskimo · 05-31-07, 06:22 AM

OD Green? Blah.

"real flames" - the current hotness..

(and so appropriate!)

hammerhead · 05-31-07, 04:08 PM

Yah, talk about a flame job!

Glad no one was hurt.

I call my '69 FJ40 "Fireball" cause it burned to the ground once. What a mess! Talk about a fun cleanup job...
