I run a set of 33" Defenders on my 100 when not on trails. Keeps miles off my 35s.
We met up with another mudder for a couples' weekend last year, wearing my Michelins. He posted a pic on Facebook of our trucks side by side trying to give me crap for wussy tires. The comment section did not...
Tires are back on the ground, LC t-bars have been leveled side to side, and she got an alignment this afternoon.
Driveline clunk is much better, though not perfect. At this point, all bushings are new (suspension and diff), both drive shafts are new, axles are new, axle flanges are new. I don't...
Sometimes they're defeatable. I just had a 2024 rental Sonata and we couldn't turn off smart cruise. I Googled, I even called a dealership to ask. Couldn't be done without turning off cruise altogether.
I don't agree with them being more predictable. I had a long thing written up but this...
Dobinson's.
The OME is entry level and known for being a poor ride quality. Bilstein makes a few products for our trucks but for whatever reason, they're not that prevalent or widely used. I didn't even know Eibach made anything for the 100.
It's in! I'm sure SuperPro is going to love reading this.
OK so here's what went down today:
I tried to get the crush sleeve placed in to the mount by itself. No go. It's only a tiny bit too wide, but too wide nonetheless. I put it up against the 90° flat surface on my bench sander and...
That was my thought as well. Get the #2 side lined up and mark where the contact issue is on the #1 side.
I'll work on this in the morning. I also sent a contact request to SuperPro and linked the thread.
Is your suggestion to knock it down from the outside edges (basically removing the bevel), or the inner edge of the flange to make the two halves meet inside? Imagine the latter would be a lot more difficult to do cleanly.
What do you think of the 85mm tab spacing vs the 90/91 of the bushing/crush sleeve? Besides measuring, I also tried to slide the crush sleeve in to the mount and it was a nogo.
I have a bench sander I can use. But now I'm measuring the pieces individually, it looks to me like even the crush sleeve may be too long. Or I'm an idiot. Either are possible.
You inspired me to go take some measurements.
Original bushing alone, without the rubber spacer. 90mm (slightly under as the caliper went into the grooves a bit)
Original bushing with the rubber spacer (spacer lives on the front side of the front bushing). 91.2mm
Crush sleeve

Now, I may have dropped out of college to open a bar... But I can read. Instructions say thin flange at front of housing, thick flange at the rear side. They're both as far in to the housing as they can go, though there is a bit of a gap between them inside (visible through little hole in the...
