What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

I have the tools to press them out and what not, but thats a good price for a pre loaded unit. My phoke won't screen grab the web link in the pic fir some reason. Can you send it to me or post it please?

Ha!

And yeah, that UBJ on his truck looks all fuckered up. I hate pressing out UBJs with a passion on these trucks. Hopefully it's a lot easier on a 2WD than it was on mine. I'm so glad I've got SPC uppers, UBJ changes will be a snap from here on out. Maybe snap is the wrong word to use here ...

 

Don't forget to give him the bolt part number too.

 

Problem solved

 

Teach a man to fish….

 

SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!

 

Kachow. These might be the black bolt, though...

 

Brother you and me fucking both. Theyre a twat and a half to press out. Also how much for them u
SPC UCA's?

 

I have the camburg uniballs and they don't squeak!

It’s not the unis that squeak, it’s unlubricated bushings

 

Mine do

 

And @The Black Mamba it's definitely the bushings that would squeak. I can't remember where else, but I there's another section that you aren't supposed to grease for that same reason.

 

Can confirm that my last image was, in fact, the black lbj bolts.
This image is the part number for the silver bolts w/ the flange...even though the bag contains black bolts. I have a lot of bolts.

 

I went with the SPC arms that come in the Eibach box. I paid around $450/pr, and I think around $45-50 to ship IIRC. That’s up closer to $575-600 now, and SPC in the SPC box are up around $1,000 which is insane to me. Mevotech also sells the SPC uppers but I left and right are sold separately and I forget the part number, and they never seem to have both left and right in stock. I’d buy the Eibach branded ones.

 

I think I found it :

they're listed here as 25-40 mm. I have a Parker Hose Shop locally I'm going to call and see if they stock anything like this.

 

Those may be the McMaster Carr part, not sure who makes it. NORMA also has their own smooth band worm drive clamp in that size under the W4 series. The hose shop may be able to look it up.

 

Here it is in 25-40mm @ 9mm wide: https://shop.normagroup.com/de_en/norma-torro-25-40-9-c7-w4-01267704032.html

 

And here’s the post showing the measurements for each clamp:

and the width and some Norma clamping:

you ideally want a clamp where your diameter falls in the middle of the range. You want at least 3-4mm leeway on either end. It’s better to have excess than too little grabbing.

 

speaking of abnormal erections - there's something coming out of the side of my LBJ and I can't figure out what it's for

 

I think that’s normal. I can’t recall the purpose unless I go look underneath and it’s dark and cold outside now.

 

I think that’s what limits the steering rack

 

Steering stops

 

It’s normal

 

ah, makes sense, thanks! But can you tell me how these f'ng strings on paper bags work? And don't tell me you just pull one end because that has only worked twice for me, ever

 

Standard stitching used for stuff like kitty litter bags.

 

Bougee whirled peas marketing. Cut the whole bag open below the string then use a chip clip to close the bag.

 

Never opened a bag of feed?

 

I usually try the strings for a little bit then give up and cut it open to be honest. But when it works...
