I’m in Roger’s I bet they’ve seen me drivin my truck around lol. We got hit pretty hard from the tornado, you can see in all my videos the amount of trees and branch piles everywhere. I lost the tree out of my front yard as well, if my truck was parked where it usually was it would’ve been crushed.

I’ve heard a lot of good and a lot of bad about Washington state, seems like the mountainside there is really nice to live. Seattle though, lol..

I live almost to Idaho border on the Eastside Lots of farms otherwise yeah I never go near Seattle

Upper ball joint was playing games with me all day, but the spring came out real easy at least. Just gotta get all the arms taken off and fixed up. And press my lower ball joint out (been swapping rental tools around, have to do it tomorrow)

Hose that side down with degreaser, wash it, scrub it, paint it. Never going to be easier to get in all those spots. Keep it up.

@fancyTBI Looks like the rain wanted to do it for me! Weather said last night so everything I took off is wrapped in that tarp with the umbrella under it. I’m really hoping that stops it from getting wet and rusted, I’ll need those shocks until I get the lowering kit. Not to mention my entire rotor and spindle assemblies

I would replace that air filter too, if it got very wet. And wipe out the housing really well too.

Housing is under the tarp is dirty so definitely will do, and yes I left the air filter outside because I’m replacing that alongside my distributor cap and rotor and spark plugs and wires.

What lowering kit are you getting?

I’m thinking DJM 4/6 but the guy I’m going to for the notch I need to see what he wants me to get. I’ll see what yall think before I order it too. It’ll definitely be a 4/6 though.

The DC Fab under bed notch is good and gives a lot of space. Any reputable brand will have a decent notch.

Guys I’m kind of frustrated right now and need some help.. so whoever is working today at big o tire shut down the whole pressing the bushings out. I don’t know what he was on about, saying “it’s tricky because it’s a two piece bushing” (barely asked for my make and model, all I got to say was Chevy) and idk.

He just sounded all shakey and like he didn’t know what he was talking about.

I’ve watched a couple videos before and now on people just doing it with a c clamp. Do I just do it myself? Because otherwise I’m at the point of just sticking the arm in there with the bushings still on. Im not very confident in doing these bushings myself.
