I don't see Roadwire mentioned too much around here so decided to post a separate thread. For those that don't know about Roadwire, they've been around for decades and sell leather for hundreds of makes/model. If you've ever seen leather sold as...

I’m not sure how a volume purchase might influence this, but the intercooler and heat exchanger alone cost me more than $2000.00. While this kit will address all areas of boosting our trucks it will likely break the banks of some potential...

I used to put on 20K year skiing etc and that‘s why I had the KO2. I’d have gotten 60K out of them except I wanted to go back to a proper sized tire and retired the 80 from family duty. The point being that 60K is the rated lifespan of the tire...

It’s still 1/8” for a mile :hillbilly:. I’ve run it exactly like this since 2010, 150K miles. Ideally you’d use the tread for a longer radius, but I was setting it back to where it was with the TRE’s I removed - tierod to radius arm scuffs...

1/8” at 1 foot out is going to 1/2 the toe in of 1/8” at 2 feet out and so on which is why I asked. I understand the method mostly as degrees of toe in aren’t affected by the distance or length of the rods are too hard to measure accurately so my...

Haven't had much time to get away from work but we had one weekend that the family could go do something before heading back to school etc. So we took off to Moab for a few days. Of course I didn't get more than a few photos of the 80. But got a...

Till next weekend but it’s coming along

Had a blast wheeling in Ouray with @DangerNoodle, @raisinhell2, @SHELLBACK, @Muddy Feet @80sgirl, @sogncab, @fjdiesel and @Broski

Just pick the same spot on the tire front and rear. It’s easy to go 3 and 9 o’clock and from the widest part (I have that pic of the rod in the initial post) instead of the tread. If you have a tread design with a uniform outer lug that works...

1/8” less in tire front for slight toe-in.

^^^^ this. Properly torque and maintain your stuff😂 Get ARPs or pay the money to get front range or hellfire knuckles. That’s kinda it…

Fixed it for you.:smokin: We need to stop suggesting that people get torque right on all of their bolts except knuckle studs. Nut torque doesn’t matter if there is a design flaw in the stud tension at recommended torque value. I’d like to hear...

I really don’t see it as a design problem as the front axle was never designed to run the big ass tires that we do. Most issues with the Knuckle bolts stem from improper torque values when the front end is rebuilt. That being said, after...

I hadn't heard that Trailgear bought ARP any more info on this? They bought All Pro (AP), but it would be pretty unlikely that they have bought ARP? I could be wrong though.....

Theres no way Trailgear bought ARP. You know how many race cars would be junk by now if they did???? :rofl:

I thought it was strange and you are right, I was looking at ARP stuff on TG and saw ”AP a Trail Gear company”. Point remains that the problem is the stud so checking your nutz all the time is just agreeing to deal with a dangerous design flaw...

It was JDM forever ago and @mot sourced it for me. May be made of unobtanium now.

Was also TRE time - draglink is relatively new, these also go back 13 years. I managed to tear a boot on one last year and have been meaning to do it. The old were still in good shape with life on 37”+ tires, although on the tierod they don’t...

After 15 years it was time to do the LCA bushings. These are my original Slee arms that I cut in half back then, welded an inner ID tube with 3/8” lengthening for the OG longer LCA style, and then sleeved 1/8” wall DOM to seal it all up. So...

When for a nice ride in the country, stopped at a old store and found this knife. For $20.00 I bought it

Some wheelin at the black hills cruiser classic. Ran Cheerios, kong, lower section of Hal Jon and iceman trails.

a long project that nearr completion for a client. the idea is keep it original out side and fully loaded so he can have a long of road trips around Saudi Arabia desert. Fully maintenance work walk through on all body flaws 80% of body parts...

Yep, replaced the OEM stuff a long time ago. I have never had a single stud loosen. Been on 37’s for 12 of the last 15 years and made up the difference on 38’s. I service the knuckles at reasonable intervals, which is to say not very often...

I would add that I do run ARP Knuckle and hub studs and hardware
