The FedEx man was less than thrilled today.


Thanks a lot! We hope you like them and have fun with them!

 

[Frogstar7055]

Fedex said delivered today at 11:03 am.
No package when I get home,call them,supposed to call me back.
(I'm f*cking pissed)

Kuddo's to Mac at P&P for answering email about insurance on shipment.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Got them.

 

[P&P]

Glad we got them found!!

If I recall the back side of one of your mounting brackets has a white paint dot. That one is your driver side.


That was done before we got punches to mark them.

[Frogstar7055]

My weekend's have been tied up with grandson's football and baseball.
Eldest's 8on8 football season just ended this weekend and others baseball season is done next Saturday.
Next weekend after that is install.

 

[Chetter]

Looks great!! Love the P&P Sliders....I'm very happy with mine....good choice!

 

[Frogstar7055]

Their on.
Easily the structurally strongest part of the truck now.

 

[Chetter]

Looking good! Now you'll have to put another picture in your signature... :kewl:

 

[Frogstar7055]

Rear wheel spacers on.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Well finally got a spare today (figured might be a good thing to have).
Just a used MT same size.

Threw it up on the roof.






Like it in the pics,not so much standing there looking at it.
For one that thing is heavy,heavy enough that I can see the cross bars slightly bowing. Would want a third in between them I think.
Could put it directly on the roof but would have to remove a cross bar to do it. Not sure I like that idea anyway.
Won't put it back under truck even if it'd fit,don't like it taking up space in the truck

Really want a swing out tire carrier but that's still down the list a ways.
Just damn.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Well dropping front diff in the morning and installing locker an diff drop bushings.

(about damn time)

Well dropping front diff in the morning and installing locker an diff drop bushings.

(about damn time)

Rock on!

 

[Frogstar7055]

Ok doing this myself today.
Got it dropped out and taken apart to the point of removing pin to drop spider gears out and I notice this......





The spider gear pin has two flats 180deg apart all the length of the pin.

This is normal?

 

[robcarync]

Don't see anything out of the ordinary to me, but I am a sixer or so in tonight

Looking at that first pic, get a 3/16 punch and knock the roll pin to the left. You need a proper sized cylindrical punch that goes deep before it tapers wide

 

[Frogstar7055]

I got that part Rob.
I'm talking about the flats that run the length of the pin the spider gears are on.
Don't remember seeing or hearing anyone talk about that before.

Is this normal or do I have something weird here.

Anybody???

 

[robcarync]

The cross shaft itself? I see what you mean now. Yeah mine had that.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Yes the cross shaft that the spider gears are on, thats what I'm talking about. Those flats are normal?

 

[Prime]

Looks normal to me.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Well got it all out and and did the measurements on the Lokka and I've gotta get thicker spacers,way to much clearance.

Screwed my weekend up.

 

[robcarync]

Bummer...but you are almost there!

You get those bushings in yet?

 

[Frogstar7055]

Haven't put them in yet but got the old ones out remarkably easy.
Took a jig saw and cut the rubber to get the centers out the used a hacksaw to cut/split
the sleeves and drove them right out with a punch.

 

[robcarync]

You should write a book because even with similar techniques, it was a pain in the Buttox for me.

Apparently, Frogstar has the sweet touch

 

[Frogstar7055]

Yep,I'm the man....


Bwaa-ha-ha

 

[Frogstar7055]

Well ordering thrust washers would take as long as 7 days (with 2 day air) so screw it making my own tomorrow at work.
Meanwhile I figured might as well install rear recovery points.













And they look rockin'.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Lokka and drop bushings installed.




It works exactly like it's supposed to.
This hill is in my little spot,it doesn't look like much but I could NEVER make it before. Very steep at the approach,just lost traction every time.
Now,no problem.

Ivan and I are VERY happy.

 

[xterraminator]

Good to see that it works a lot better for you. curious do you still have your rear sway bar on?

 

[Frogstar7055]

Rear sway long gone.

 

[robcarync]

nice job man...you will have a LOT of fun with that Lokka

 

[drbandkgb]

sweet!

 

[Frogstar7055]

Man I wish Lokka made a lunchbox locker for the H233B.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Two cool things today after work.
Wanted some Lokka stickers for Ivan but they don't make any.
My son-in law went and made me some.



And I called Shrock about my skidplates,right about time for them.
Their boxed and shipping tomorrow. :laugh:

 

[Frogstar7055]

Stickers on.

 

[Frogstar7055]

Got tracking info on skids from Shrock.
Delivery by end of day tomorrow.

Oh yeah.

 

[Frogstar7055]

At my door after work.....off road goodness.
