Seattle Area Maintenance and Meet

[apiki]

Nice! I'd be in for some snow wheeling to those then in late January, once my truck is back alive after the jack stands... I'm still waiting for Marlin to ship me my diffs... not too sure whats going on there?

Dang still waiting!? Might be pretty busy with the holidays. Still tho.

I'm almost broken into my new diffs. Then just an oil change and its on! I'd be down to meet up for some brews or maintenance or all the above. I'm in south Everett

I'd be down to try again at replacing my upper ball joint boot if anyone feels like giving that another go.

How does the group feel about a snow wheeling trip on January 20th? I should hopefully have the truck up and running by then and have the gears broken in by then.

That sounds good to me! I'm itching to play in the snow!

Ahhhhh. Sorry I missed it! I haven't been on here for the week. Been running around with holiday stuff. How did it go? Let me know if there was anything that didn't get done. I'd be down to lend a hand.

Would also have helped out if I would have read this earlier. That's just a few minutes from my work and I didn't do anything last night. Holler if ya need another hand.

URGENT
Does anyone happen to have a light racing UCA kit?
seems mine is missing a part, i need the round ball joint holder/snap ring
a shot in the dark if someone has a kit not installed yet, dont know how i can put it back together without it :sobbing:

yeah i should have put more notice out there..... im trying to finish up today, had to leave at 7pm last night but not got everything going except for a missing part!!!!

if you happen to have please email [email protected] i will come pick it up

 

[mattleegee]

well after a search of the whole shop we couldnt find the piece, called toytec and said there was a recall for missing pieces, said they would ship it GROUND to me... meanwhile truck apart at shop :redbrick: for probably a week storage

overall the install was kind of easy except the UCAs is where the problem has been, i did the rear by myself in about 2hours and the front is easy with coils already prebuilt... just the UCAs a problem

 

[PNWRunner]

I didn't order mine through toytec, but I was missing the washers that the instructions said would be included. I just re-used mine but that snap ring is a whole different story, good luck

Ground shipping on their f! up is bullish!t Hope it all works itself out in your favor!

i'm pretty sure they didn't manufacture the snap rings for these, you can pick them up for like $2 at mc masters
McMaster-Carr

pull the other one and measure it then order one from the above, should have it by tuesday if you get on it

 

[Hepar]

Can you put the stock UCA's back on? If you can get it up here to Bellevue, you can put it in my garage for the week.

 

[mattleegee]

i ended up pressing the old UCA joint back together and tightening it as much as i could down and drove it home
it wasnt just missing the snap ring but the ring and the part you have to press in for the UCA so i had no way to install new ball joint
but rear is done and coils both in, just one side half put together... luckily i have another car


wanted me to pay $60+ for overnight delivery :repuke:

Are you gonna tackle it tomorrow? I might have to work, but could be free if you want a 2nd set of hands.

probably going to shoot for Friday/Weekend since tomorrow is my first day back to work in a couple weeks, and FedEX is bringing it, they usually come after 5pm for deliveries for some reason
