I just needed to post something to hit 1000...lol
AC UCA's, Cam bolts, Ball Joints and Bump stops installed...
Ended up using a pickle fork and a pair of old vice grips. Locked the grips under the lip of the stud head then BFHerd the fork under the grips. It finally gave in.
Next up...Torsion Bars
So that was you with the bent TRA? I was going to ask how Steena held up...but yeah, there's two ways to learn about those stock TRAs...have one fold on you, or read about it happening to someone else!
Those bolts that go to the idle arm mount run through the frame. I'm sure the local hardware store like Home Depo or Lowes would have bolts the same length and width if you were to snap one
Yea that was me... valuable lesson learned. (get more trail parts for next year). Still had a great time tho.
It was great to meet you finally. I loved your rice and chicken and vegetables. My wife is still talking about the chicken. Lol. Hope Steena is back on track. She is a great looking truck. Even better looking in person.
True. I won't give it away. I will steal it but I won't give it away. Lol
Try to spray it with pb blaster two days worth everytime you go to get in and out of your truck. That's what I did with my torsion bar bolts and when I got ready to work on them the locking bolt backed off about on inch.
Oh so its a stiff wire. I kept picturing copper strands. That socket should do the job nicely.
Yeah the pipe bender is cheap I've debated picking one up till I saw the youtube videos of it pretty much kinking everything. Really need a mandrel tube bender unit for smooth bends. Wish I could do my own exhaust more then anything. The brake is nice for sheet metal but nothing more really. However, if you buy their 20 ton press you can then make a brake thru plans on the internet or someone on pirate sells them. That will do thicker material bends. I've been thinking about it would be nice for skids.

Man...it's too cold out to work on this now. I still gotta order the tubing from McMaster first. Whenever it gets here we'll see.
ya, i know how ya feel. your talking about the tubing that goes from the intake box to the snorkel under the outer fender right?
