Re: Let's Build A 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4

I got one hub drilled and new studs installed!



I also got the PS kingpin out. It was not as easy as the DS. I had to beat my tool with a mini sledge both hands full force a few times before it budged the tiniest bit! But once it did move the fight was over! This one is scarred a bit more than the DS as well.



I mounted the rim on the rear to see if the original studs would be adequate. (I was told they would be.) They aren't, I wonder if I will need to drill them out and use the same studs I did for the front or if a longer stud exists for the 14BFF already that doesn't require drilling.



I also saw this truck on facebook. I had heavily considered these wheels for my truck but was unsure. Well, they don't look half bad on a square!! Requires 8x6.5 to 8x170 2" adapter/spacer but still.



I started putting the new Ujoints in my half shafts. What a pain in the ass. Also started cleaning up my knuckles. I need to get all seals/bearings and what not on order.
