it clears fine, I have atleast 2-3 inches. It took me awhile to get it out, but I did. Took it for a test drive a few times tonight, everything seems to be good. Man, was it nice to be drivin the cruiser after 3 long weeks.
im pretty sure it will clear, if it doesnt, off with the roof rack!!! If Rob Clark can fit in his standard garage with a 6" lift, I should definately. Brittan has the same set-up as I do, he gets his in. You guys are just trying to scare me. Oh, wouldnt the wife be pissed if didnt fit, or I...
Oh, it took a little while to get it in the garage like that, lots of tire marks on the garage floor. I filled it up this morning with Valvoline 75-90, I wasnt going to drain and re-fill, I need to do that huh? Different oil than what I put in?
Didnt know about the housing and axle heating...
Whoo hoo, finished up both axles yesterday, and put all 4 tires on it. All I have left to do this morning is to fill the diffs up, spin on a new oil filter and fill it with some oil. Now im just wondering what I didnt do, or forgot. Going to take it easy for a few miles, Wheelers recommended...
Rob Clark- I went thru the video, making sure I got everything in order and mentally took note i didnt forget to put something back on or tighten up. The preload part towards the end was helpful for sure.
Brother Rob- oh yeah, air compressor and tools to do the job, would of been nice for...
pry bar, breaker bar, 3lb sledge and misc. hand tools. Thats what used. I dont have the dream toolbox and garage for sure!! Im sure when Kevin works on his cruiser, he never bleeds, doesnt even get dirty, and has the job done in 1/2 the time as anyone else. Not this guy. I watched the birf...
Geez, give me a break already, It totally passed over my head to put them all on one thread . It was late, someone fixed it so all is good. I'm actually going to go to Cabelas today for the fish scale and see if I can't get this mostly tidied up today,(handicapped and all). I'm telling ya...
truck build up part #5
decided this day to go get my tires. Went to Precision Tire and got 5 315-75-16's Nitto Terra Grapplers mounted up. Out the door price was $1090, thats with road hazard too. Damn they look good!! So as of right now, the front axle is almost fully put together, had to...
truck build up part #4
I had my father-in-law over at the house, and I knew he didnt want to get too dirty so I decides to put the coil springs, shocks, and steering damper in. It wasnt as easy as some of you say it is. I rented the spring compressor, and of course it doesnt fit up inside...
truck build up part #3
I decided to take a small break and wanted to get the snorkel on. I borrowed the hole saw from Brittan and the nutsert tool(for the A pillar mount) and taped on the template, marked the holes and drilled away. The only hang up I had was when I went to test fit the...
truck build up part #2
so I tore into the disassembly process, starting with the front axle. PS I found a a bearing that looked good, rolled smooth enough, plenty of good grease, but small metal particles on the shop towels, so something wasnt right. On the DS, as soon as I started to undo...
A few of you already know, so for the rest of you, I sold my Dodge Dakota I bought brand new in 1999 to put towards my cruiser. The first picture is of the 50- 100 dollar bills I got for my truck right before I deposited it. So I bought the OME J's and heavy coils, shocks, caster correction...
