what year/model of car is it in? love that factory equalizer!

I fixed a leaky tire for my cousin yesterday that I didn't know was a problem until I got there, but that's an easy one since lots of people carry repair kits and floor jacks and impact guns. or maybe they don't. they should. I also carry a bag just for doing brakes because, yes, I've arrived at someone's house and in conversation they complained of brake squeal and I ended up doing their pads. a bit more of the specialty tools, but that's why I have them if I need them. same with minor drywall repairs. or plumbing. or electrical work. but the other day I found these on the bottom of the dealership sign and yes, by chance, I had the proper tool. (I forgot to add a quarter for scale, but believe me, those are friggin' giant flathead screws! the bit goes on a half-inch socket)

yeah, the "Olympic Edition" is just not the same thing.

just be careful about the shackles inverting when coming down onto the tires.

that's a heck of a milestone! all the kudos to you

there's a thread in the link in my signature that has a lot of bolt specs. if what you seek isn't there, please include it once you find out.

is it possible to look up any sort of details from the VIN, or is it too old?

this is probably how it would work best given our constraints being a forum. Discussions can probably be allowed as long as the first post continually gets updated with the new files as they become available. @ghetdjc320, would you like to start one? that way you can help organize everything into the first post as new ones come in.

that should never stop you from sharing the story

yeah, you definitely need to start a build thread so we can see all the details

you mean beyond the link in my signature?

moving over to tech so more eyeballs will see this.

yeah, that realization hit me kinda hard last year. He was my friend for nearly 2 decades and I never shook his hand. and so I've made it a point to visit as many of my fellow CC members as I can! Even made a 4k mile trip last fall and met 20 or so members along the way.

excellent!

I feel it was important that someone mention that the 2 key contributors of that thread will not be responding. If Jason didn't do it, I would have.

Don passed about a year ago. It's not so much about obsolescence, it's about human nature. It always seems that fewer guys will look at an old thread. when searching for a solution, the more eyeballs that see it the better the chances that you'll get a guy that knows the answer. I've had plenty of times that a bump like yours went unanswered but then I split it off into its own thread and gave it a descriptive title and suddenly people responded.

the are several 1-ton builds in the EpicTech subforum the stock front axle can easily be made to handle 33s, especially if you're not doing anything crazy. the rear dana 35 is another story, but as mentioned, there are good alternatives that still work with the front axle.

best I've got of my new baby is in here: I've also got a couple more I bought on ebay but I've got no idea where a digital version might be. somewhere on this site I'm sure.

any updates?

and another:

here's a couple I found:

I'm trapped far far from mine. how good of a resolution do you need?

bumpstops are your friend uptravel is overrated!

finally, torx bits have a real use in the world!
