1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Ive been doing a bunch of suspension/steering research in preparation for ordering parts. Moog inner and outer tie rods seem to be the go to around here as a best bang for buck non OEM replacement.

 

2x Moog

 

Just wanted to bring this some more attention in the best gen section

I just scored all four ball joints, an output shaft seal, a companion flange seal, and a companion flange nut for $231 shipped to my door. If you are needing any OEM parts, this deal has some huge savings.

 

Ok, screw it. Time to buy some new LBJs I guess... and new side window latches.

 

Ordered. The stupid part about it is, I could literally drive down there, but hard to justify the ~2hr round trip with pickup/stops, even with gas prices as low as they are, when the shipping is free.

 

I'm closer than you @shifty` but ya gotta include time that can be spent doing better things...
I picked up the one LBJ not replaced recently and trim fasteners for putting in a new windshield. Whitman Glass in Carrollton has Pilkington

 

I need to reach back out to Executive Auto Glass (Cumming), their guy was telling me they carry Pilkington also for our 1st gens.

 

im not sure i have enough sense to talk myself out of these.

 

Saw 3 step sides in the same color within a 10 minute timeframe. That's not very common.

 

I saw those. Interested to see how they do, but if they don't sell bypasses I dont want it lol

 

If you post pics, please have a booty shaking gif in your back pocket for @Mr.bee and I. We like it when they shake.

 

What part is 50mm?
50mm = 1.969 inches.
2 inch diameter shocks are pretty standard.
2.5 inch diameter are standard for the big name coilover brands.

 

??
Said they're 2.5" for the taco.

silly money.

 

I was going by the image text on your previous post.

That's a ton of money for a brand I've never heard of. Is it long travel?

 

Ohlins makes the king dick shocks for motorcycles. Been around forever.

 

its only fair when someone assaults our eyes with a stepside.

 

FTFY

 

Ohlins is like the best of the best on motorcycles. All the high end bikes come with them.

 

I can't imagine paying that much for midtravel coilovers even with resi's. Not even from the big 4.

 

Probably what the trd OR folks are paying for their fox stuff.

 

Probably. But that's got all kinds of markup involved.

 

Ohlins:



I do feel like there is way too much shock talk for some trucks that don't really even benefit from all the tech. A go fast pre runner, drift car, road race, or drag car sure. But for the once a month wheeling crowd that mostly pulls grocery duty? Nah, save your money.

 

Saw this truck on FBM. That's some, uh, special, very special interior sprucing.

DAFUK? I just typed out this reply to a thread about UCA's that I guess got deleted? Posting here just for funsies

I have pretty much talked myself out of them for the time being. Im only looking to go up 1-1.5 in the front with an OME 2884 or 2885 and while the extra adjustment would be nice, it's just plain unnecessary. Long term I'm going to fab my own uppers and lowers for a fun project.

 

Might've gotten deleted or moved. "Feeler" threads outside of marketplace are verboten. Not sure if @AWilliams was aware of that (that's who posted those, right?)

 

Wow, a coffee cup expander. Never saw one of those.

 

Same here. I was curious if he even properly maintained his. I guess if you were in the market, you'd be looking at a rebuild kit anyway.

 

Just out of my own curiosity here's some links to the rebuild parts

The bushings are the bitch anyway so that's not a bad price.

 

You would have to be a glutton for punishment to run uniballs on the street/ in dusty ass west Texas. Im guessing you would have to replace them yearly around here.
