Me too... I don't remember much besides getting to northgate

 

Ugh, finally got the motor mounts in after a huge battle. That is something I don't ever want to do again. Now to remove the valve cover to see what that tapping sound is. I pray its just a loose rocker.

 

Can yall weigh in on this.... I'm thinking of adding a 2" coilover spacer and ADL to my Rusty's 4.5" lift. Anyone done this personally? I still want to run my 33's I just would like a little more clearance.

 

For the front, should be easy enough if you have an Adj. Trackbar. For the rear, is ADL an add a leaf? If so, you may get some lift if ur rear spring are old, but it may not be much.....you will get a stiffer ride fore sure. I know if you get a whacked relocation bracket, that can add 1 to 2 inches.

 

Chex I saw your ride at 4wheelparts yesterday... what's going on with it?

Anyway, I'm going up to General Sams today. Rolling out around 10-11am. If anyone wants to head out there together give me a call or text 2.302.9212 or just hit me up if you make it out there later or something.

 

Yeah Chex, how comes the rebuild? When you hope to be up and running?

 

yeah, i had them check the rear since there was a howling coming from it. turns out the pinion bearing went bad and the pinion was a little wobbly damn water hole!

 

well got the winch running again, rear end fixed. i have some kinda squeak comin from the bottom only when the drivetrain is moving, so i gotta check that out, then replace the airbag control module n should be good to go for another trail ride. i'm thinkin bout doin the removable doors mod as well, but need to look into it a little more.....the list goes on and on, plus i may be headin to africa this next weekend, so it may ba a couple weeks till i can go trail riding

 

Cool. As of right now I', building a 6x4 rack. Still have a tapping lifter, still trying to work it free. I have the removable front door, want to do the rear. I just dont want to spend the money on the tube door. I've been looking into make some web half doors.

 

I have a rack that I will be selling soon if anyone is interested. In college Station.

 

I still have the stuck lifter problem. I still haven't finished the treatment process yet, but if that doesnt work I'm going to try removing the valve cover and using a lifter removal tool to attempt to loosen it up through the push rod hole.

 

Pour about half a quart of transmission fluid in with your oil. Add to that a 1/4 can of sea foam, and drive it for a couple days.

 

Yeah I'm doing that right now, seafoam and Marvel Mystery oil.

 

Anyone planning an outing any time soon?

 

get the lifter un stuck yet?

Also- Brazos Valley Off Road Ranch in Bryan is having a Saturday and Sunday outing this weekend with the Katy Chapter of TX4WD.ORG coming up.
