Got my YotaMD UZJ100 key case today. Really happy with it!
Added middle skid and new rubber...
Nice, is that from a vendor or did you make it?
That's my neck of the woods! Hiked all over up there, back in my dumbass days I use to take my subaru(which was lowered the first few times, does way better after it got a lift), never bounced my head off the roof of a vehicle more times anywhere else. It's an easy trail but honestly I hate some those sections with all the small rocks.
Finished for now. CarPlay in my other cars have me spoiled. So needed an upgrade.Today's project before the rain chased me off.
Installed the cruiser garage ac drain extension. I thought this was going to be a fairly easy task, but the factory drain pipe thought otherwise. I had a heck of a time trying to get the 90 degree elbow into the hose. Probably because of the heat cycle etc the diameter of the drain pipe shrunk just enough to make life a loving hell to put in that 90 degree elbow. Butt I managed to get it on albeit not as seated as I would like but it'll do for now.
I had the same issues. I found that reaching up from under the vehicle worked best vs. coming in from the top. Even still, I couldn’t get it to seat right. There just wasn’t enough resistance from the hose nub for the 90 deg elbow to go in all the way. I eventually used some white lithium grease to get it to go in all the way.
I thought about lubing it up and should have done that. You're absolutely right, the nub gave way too much for you to be able to jam it on.
I went from underneath as well as going from up top was interesting at best. Maybe I'll squirt some silicone lube and give it another try later
Am I dreaming? Was lifting the front end and leveling out the Cruiser really this easy?
After picking up a 30mm socket from O’Reilly’s, I got to work. All adjustments made with both front wheels off the ground and supports under the frame. Tires were at ambient temperature and pressure was equalized before starting.
Before:
+ Driver's side was 34.5" floor to fender
+ Passenger side was 34.75"
After:
+ 5 1/4 turns on the driver's side and 4 turns on the passenger side netted 36" floor to fender on both sides, which is about the same as the rears or just under
+ Droop range was 76.2 mm which is more than the 55 mm minimum.
Did I do it right?
Alignment up next.

For the droop I did measure from the top of the cap to the fender.
Also now reading up on the rake and what’s ideal.

My girlfriends new 2002 with my 2019.
So far I've :
-Knocked out those heater tees
-Changed oil (Mobil 1 High Mileage 5w-30), transfer case fluid, transmission fluid, added red coolant.
- Lubed the sunroof cables with lithium based WD-40
- Replaced Fuel Filter
- New fuses in the battery terminal
- Drove the s**t out of it..........
Yah, they are annoying. I aired down to smooth those sections out and keep my speed up. Was passing the weekend warriors that way in their F-150's.
I referenced NEC Table 310... This is very conservative and the best for boats and automotive due to the voltage drops.
After driving it around last night, I checked floor to fender measurement again this morning…
Driver’s side:
Passenger’s side:
Yes but not aluminum galvanized to reduce corrosion.
Smooth move, yeah that road can be a warrior magnet. Cool history up there, with the railroad stuff but more so there's also ancient Ute hunting blinds all over those peaks.Yah, they are annoying.
