    Easiest way to swap bushings?

    On the passenger side the nut came off with a big cheater bar, but the bolt was rusted into the sleeve and luckily @fuzzytoaster had a forklift handy. We used the forklift and stacked sockets to apply constant pressure on the tip of the bolt, then I hit the underside of the fork with a sledge...

    Easiest way to swap bushings?

    If I recall right….. was that a square head bolt? Mine looks really rusty and would not be surprised if I have to replace. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Easiest way to swap bushings?

    Anyone have a write up or video on the easiest way to get the driver side swapped? I did the passenger side once and it was no fun. Had to use a forklift to lift on the bolt tip then a sledge hammer to pop it loose. I don’t have access to a forklift anymore. The driver side looks worse…. Sent...

    Created a new post on how to swap bushings: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/easiest-way-to-swap-bushings.213888/ My bushing on the passenger side was swapped when I did the winch install…. It was a pain! No trying to hijack, just seams relevant…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    I wonder what would happen to those with the faster gears already installed? I am guessing that would be too far…. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is there a trick ?

    I just remembered. I threw away my old valve and replaced it with a new one. I had to rotate the knobs 90 degrees to have the text oriented correctly….. but, when I pushed the pins out to do so, they were new. That may explain why Chucky is having a harder time than me. Sent from my iPhone...

    Are market lights required to be legal?

    From that link, it looks like no extra lights than are already on the truck are required. Did I read that wrong? I would be under 30 feet long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That should work . I used a flat tip punch and tapped it out carefully…. Came out easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do you have to have them day one or is that a nice to have. I imagine temporary boxes don’t need them, but when is it a requirement? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    Coach, While your ideas are possible, they won’t work in my set up. I think I can handle rolling a tire and using a shovel to get it back on. Plus, I have 6 tires. I am going to have to roll most likely anyway. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    That is definitely a diverse set of pictures. That deck one is pretty neat, but not in my KISS requirement. The yellow truck is closed to what I am thinking, but the tire bottoms will be at top of frame height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    Well, I have an MTV, so I can carry more weight. If I towed a jeep, I would not need the bike. So for me it is one or the other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    Based on your idea above……. I like the idea of the cradles and then just an all-thread center bolt (in the hub space) and a large DIY wing nut to cinch it down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Spare tire mount options?

    Coach, The motorcycle I am talking about would be a small dirt bike (maybe 400cc max). I don’t have the weights, but I am not all that worried. It does not seam like much of a big deal to this large of a truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
