install

I’m installing some BudBuilt shock mount sliders. I was an idiot and removed the shock from the mount. Any ideas how to compress the BP-51 shock to be able to get it back on the mount?

I just ordered a Doug Thorley cat back last night to replace a rusted out muffler. I was hoping someone would have tips on installing it. Or even a link to a build thread of an install? I tried searching but didn't turn up much related to the install. I've never installed a cat back before so...

I know this has been addressed before. Just wanted to give feedback on how successful the new struts swap is. Order from Amazon: $28.50 Perfect swap. Don't make the mistake of putting the new pieces together first just because it's exciting. Luckily did this with only 1 strut. Use 12mm...

First post hope I’m putting it in the right spot. I searched for a long time online and couldn’t find a good thread here or on the web or on YouTube. For most I’m sure this is an easy job but I’m no mechanic. So this is for all the newbies trying to fit the ARB bumper on. The instructions that...

Finally got around to installing the Metal Tech sliders on my Wife's '16 LC. It was a long weekend! I spent most of Saturday installing the rivet nuts and doing some test fitments. I spent an additional 5 hours or so today mounting the sliders. I did this alone, with some help from my wife in...

This weekend I'm going through the process of installing an ARB rear bumper. I've read through a couple of the install threads here so far and they've been helpful in a few aspects. A couple things I've noticed right off the bat: there are major fitment issues getting the new bumper to fit all...

Hey guys, I've got my new 4x4labs bumper almost all the way installed. I am having a hard time getting it the last 1" onto the frame, I have removed all rivets and there is nothing blocking it, its just the friction against the frame (in my opinion) that is keeping it from sliding all the way...

I tried searching this but didn't see a relevant post I had a pioneer 8000nex installed into my 90 HDJ81 this week. Apple car play with this unit requires connecting to the rear USB port which has an extension cable Does anyone know if there is a knockout piece that would allow me to mount...

So far I'm a fan of this rack. I opted for the flat option instead of one of the ones with upward or downward facing side walls because it was less bulky and costed less. It has mounts for a light bar up front, which ill probably end up using.

Here's a little video my friend and I made installing some White Knuckle Offroad rock sliders on my 80 series. Let me know what ya think!

Everything ive found seems to reference the 80 series install. Does anyone know if there is a good write up for the 100 series or lx 470? I know they're supposed to be the same as the 80, but i would still like to see a good one for the 100. Im preparing to install Lukes rear bumper on my 99...

Hi folks: I recently got the Ironman Pro Foam suspension kit and need a recommendation on a shop in Northern California that would install it. My local mechanic only does stock and didn't want to take this on especially with the diff drop kit. OR I am ready to install it myself with help (and...

Hey @lechnito I've got a couple questions regarding your OME installation. At our last meet up you mentioned that I should buy the "yellow" torch correct? Is there a particular reason? How long did it take you to do the install and would you suggest starting on one end of the rig before the...

Hi all, the title pretty much sums it up. I'm going to do the lift kit install on my car my self and just wanted any advice, tips, warnings or things I should know before I start. The kit gives 50mm lift and includes the springs, shocks, bushes and U bolts. I've decided against getting...

I have been reading so many install stories I am spinning. I hear some people use RTV sealant to greasing the threads and rubber washers. I want to make the install solid but also don't want to make it overly complicated. Would love to get some pros and cons on using some of these methods on...

Hello, I purchased a '67 that had come with a new CCOT Replica OE tank installed. However, the owner mentioned the filler neck would fill with fuel, and would require waiting for a few minutes between filling because fuel just stays in the filler neck, before gurgling down. Why is this? I've...
