First Gen Lower Ball Joint(LBJ) Failures

I couldn't agree more

 

That is exactly how it comes across to me and just reinforces my belief that we share the road with idiots. People are cheap and stupid.

 

same. A lot of fucktards in that group (and I only just joined yesterday)

but yea, I guess they wanna be "cool"? I don't know. A LBJ failure seems like a shitty time no matter how you look at it.

I'm on near 34's and I plan on every 50-75k to swap mine out. And I don't even "wheel"

 

I'm not usually a fan of victim blaming, but some of these dudes have to be aware the LBJ is a failure point.

 

Victim blaming is the best. I know damn well every single one of em did something to deserve their plight. There are a few exception, but its not the rule.

 

We need to start shaming them in the comments.

 

Someone's bound to be able to do better.

 

Ordered my Moog LBJs today. Excited to install them with grade 5 bolts from Lowes. Headed to Rubicon this weekend.

 

someone is gonna search, find this, and think you're telling the truth.....

 

good.

 

5 lug first gen. Must be some kind of adapter spacer.

 

Let them wreck... and replenish the junkyards with cheap parts for the rest of us
Cleansing the FGT pool from idiots.

 

Yeah, those a 2nd gen limited wheels.

 

If 5 didn't hold it, 6 never would

 

Okay, okay! I'm getting mine replaced next month, I promise! Stop posting these pictures.

 

NO

 

Done and done. Really not a hard job, especially not a job that the regular person should put off because they don’t think they can do it.

 

It's cathartic for me now. I cannot stop.

 

why the tire iron??

 

What sorcery is this? One has 2gen wheels, the other what looks like 2gen sway bar link? Weirdness.

 

I think the 2nd pic is just a first gen Toyota. So it could be a 4R

The first pic. That dude went through entirely too much trouble to go from 6 to 5 lug

 

It's part of the bottle jack kit, duuuh.

(Note bottle jack behind TRE. Also, other bottle jack tools laying around. I also often use my bottle jack to lift things under the truck if my jack is applied to other stuff.)

 

Wrong quote but


Makes sense.
