RobertMcC Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Couldn't get that control arm out? Oh we did, but because the panhead too short, its lifting the whole pass side. And its sitting too high in front. I'm parking it till I get all the parts, got drunken truck syndrom bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUXterra Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Bought my winch cable this morning. Steel or synth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Kept it cheap. Galvanized steel. No need to buy a hawse fairlead. No real need to clean it! Someday I'll go synthetic though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah, synthetic is not cheap. Pros & cons to both, price being the biggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oniondip Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I'm not supposed to ruin the surprise. But my birthday is coming up and Annie (the wife) ordered me a 12,000lbs winch, and I bought my plate for hidden mount (rough country). And I'm sick of have this 40' of coax and 3ft fibreglass antenna kicking around so in buying a cobra 40 channel tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronin Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 That or the main shaft bearings..Grinding noise when let off the clutch? not grinding , its just the noise you hear when the rig it running but in neutral . thought it was the through out bearing thats why i replaced it .

Throw out bearing is for the clutch, but if the main shaft bearings for the transmission is going. You'll get a gurrrrrrrrr noise, when its in idle.

SQRLPWR Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Now I have the rear shackles installed, it was time to lift the front suspension to complete my Poor Man's Lift. It's not given me masses of extra height at the front, but I'm pretty pleased with the difference bang-for-buck at $120 taxes and US shipping and duty all in. Once I'm happy with the height I'll need to get a front end alignment Oh and one of my rear shocks is pissing oil now - I bet they're the originals.
