But so will Ted's if his makes it!

I think Ted's new setup would be prime for Fordyce! Whaddya think Josh?

 

[TeddyBoy]

now if i could only find a way to teleport the thing out there cuz this silly little Dodge aint haul'n my junk 5k miles round trip.

I'd say his truck would do great but I dunno if Ted is a very good driver after seeing his last flop

 

[TeddyBoy]

aint that the truth. My brother asked me if I ran over a pine cone.

 

[AuburnFJsexy]

Steve can't say much about Teds roll, he did a complete barrel roll after going over a stump on the trail in Gurley...

 

[TeddyBoy]

If the # of times we flop/roll is the measuring stick of how good a driver we are i think josh is in the lead.

what is the score?

 

[schmitty]

More then I can remember

Guess you should've bought a tow rig instead of a drag car with a bed.

Til my dying day, I will always wonder how the hell that happened.

 

[TeddyBoy]

Gonna say Goodbye to 2014 and the old rig at the same time.

Next mod before the chocco ride. Nick, this might help you too.

Broke all 6 hub studs on the passenger side last weekend and after messing with my IFS hubs it doesn't look like the broken studs are coming out. Bought some left hand thread bits then used an EZ-out - NOPE.

Short version of this mod is to drill out the stud holes and run a 7/16 20 tpi cap head instead of the studs/cone washer setup.

Have you tried welding nuts to the end of the studs? I've done that with good success on lots of sheared off bolts.

 

[TeddyBoy]

studs are broken off below the top of the hole so no way to get a welder in there. Gonna try the ez-out route one more time after hitting with PB Blaster tonight and maybe a little heat but I don't have high hopes. Frankly, it's probably easier just to go ahead and drill out the holes for bigger hardware anyway.

Ideally I'd start off with a new set of IFS hubs but can't find any, keeps your eyes peeled for me but gotta have 'em quick or aint gonna make chocco.

 

[robustbambi]

I've got some IFS hubs.. But I'm using them!

 

[TeddyBoy]

biatch. Just to be clear, dont need the locking hub, I need the hub assembly that contains the hub studs and since yours only sees speed bumps just unbolt yours and hand 'em over.
