    Selling a work truck, van, 2 motorcycles.

    Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in the bed off of this thing? Looks like it’s 4 bolts and the rear bumper frame is welded to the truck. Just need some way to lift this thing.

    Selling a work truck, van, 2 motorcycles.

    Just an update, the van and Honda motorcycle are sold. The work truck is now at my house, cleaned up. Going to try to either talk my father in law into selling just the bed and making it a regular pickup, OR, pull the rear axle and TBI setup for my K10. I got curious and, lo and behold, it has...

    How hot should my front hubs get

    I should note that I can jack each side up, spin the wheel, and the only drag seems to come from the brakes. With the caliper removed, the wheels spin pretty freely

    How hot should my front hubs get

    So after doing ball joints and tie rod ends, and putting everything back together, I quickly found out that the front spindle nuts were too tight after a short drive. The front hubs were too hot to touch. Like, so hot you wouldn’t be able to put your hand on the hub to engage 4x4. I took them...

    Tie rod ends shot. Ball joints too?

    Did ball joints today. Huge, HUGE thank you @Vbb199 for bringing your tools and know how to my house. Y’all this guy hauled his tools and his family to come hang out with me and my family all day and put new ball joints and tie rod ends in my truck. He even drove me to the parts store! Did one...

    Pillar mount unity spotlight

    Thank you for the input. I’ll double check the bushing, maybe I should have left it on the shaft. Oh well, it went on one time it’ll go back again. I’ll just need to have a drill bushing made, unless unity will send one with the template. One advantage these have over the hand held ones, this...

    Lol don’t worry, when it comes to drilling holes I take my time and do it to the best of my ability.

    Pillar mount unity spotlight

    I do have rain guards and yes, I screwed them on. But let’s not go overboard here. In fact step away from the power tools, and come put this nice warm jacket on that ties in the back....

    Pillar mount unity spotlight

    I’m like 70% sure I want to do it lol. I’m sure it’s like anything else, if not done right it can leak. But I feel like a small bead of silicone and regular maintenance would mitigate the chance of any leaks. Luckily the guy I got It from sent everything. Inside rubber and metal trim, and what...

    Tie rod ends shot. Ball joints too?

    My dad was under there, I wasn’t. He said he saw the leaf spring bushing under the cab moving a lot more on the driver side than the passenger side. Definitely noted the passenger side tie rod end needed to be replaced. He at first also thought the pitman arm may be worn out, but we’re not...

    Pillar mount unity spotlight

    It is more of an aesthetic thing, and I know there are better options out there. But I can at least say I have one tucked away IF I decide to go through with it. And it’s so purdy! It looks like a new one.

    Pillar mount unity spotlight

    Well I finally got my hands on one. I’m going to take it apart and grease the mechanism as it sounds kind of gritty, and then I’m planning on doing a write up if I can convince myself to drill the hole.

    Tie rod ends shot. Ball joints too?

    After some investigation into me front end popping noise, I’ve decided that I’ve got a bad tie rod end. I’m going to go ahead and do both ends. But would It be a good idea to go ahead and do All four ball joints as well? What brand is the best to go with? Any surprises I should be aware of ahead...

    Spare tire: what’s a better deal?

    I’d probably go used. Hard to justify buying a brand new tire that will likely never be used.
