Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
this weeks weather plus daylight savings time givin me moar light kicks ass.
ive done small little much needed things on the jeep after work each day in a t-shirt comfortably
Agreed, it's great to be able to actually do stuff outside after work. I think I'm going to restart the tri-weekly 7:30 before-work junkyard runs soon now that I have the motivation to wake up and get out of bed without freezing my balls off.
i have 2 spare stock nuts and bolts you're welcome to if you find yourself in need. i won't be reusing them :scottm:
I think I have some spares but I'm not sure where they are, that might come in very handy, thanks for offering. Normally I would avoid reusing stock bolts, especially thin ones like the UCA bolts, but this rig is staying almost entirely stock (suspension will remain stock, it's getting OBA and other functional mods though) so stock bolts are not something I will worry about.
I had a lot of trouble with the axle end ones spinning for some reason, had to grab the tags with a pair of vice grips.
Other stupid question - am I getting myself into a lot of possible trouble by trying to do body side UCA bushings on a 91 rotbox with 200k on it? I've been getting a really bad rattling/clunking noise from the front right when I hit potholes and stuff, so I suspect a whole bunch of bushings are completely shot. I just don't want to mess with it only to find out that I can't get it back together easily, or discover that the UCA bushing case is one huge glob of rust and won't come out halfway through the process. Somehow I suspect that is going to be the one problem I run into doing this swap, since everything else can be solved with suitable application of flame, BFH, and angle grinder.
EDIT: googling solved this,
