Harbor Freight pipe bender. Sliders are the only thing thats tube, the rest is pipe.

How do you like the Harbor Freight pipe bender? I'm thinking about getting one myself to do sliders and some other small things. Does it tend to kink at the bends? Thanks

 

[disciplerocks]

If you use pipe, no. It will kink tube.

I had thought about buying one. But decided I'd wait to get something better

My front bumper took a couple good beatings this past trip with no damage.

Little work done tonight.

You're going to like that. Being locked in the front feels like cheating

How you like that drain plug, comes in handy don't it?? Thats the first time its been apart since I've taken it down to take out the locker I used to have in it (didn't work at all, allowed both tires to slip, turned out it was the wrong locker), except for a cleaning, everything else should be okay in there...Might want to change out the axle seals on the diff though

Thats what RTV is for.

I'm talking about the seal where the axleshaft enters the diff...I know the passenger side should be changed where the shaft came out a couple times cause of the spring from the C-clip mod...

Ah ok. And yeah that drain is pretty handy.

 

[88_Eddie]

are you swappin in the whole axle or just the pig?

 

[RangerSVT]

Just remember (I think that is the one that the tap grabbed on me and went crooked) to start that plug by hand every time, the housing is aluminum and will strip easily

As of right now, I am just planning on swapping the pig. The beams have twin piston calipers, but bad ball joints. I just replacent mine and don't really want to do it again.

Although Greg has his old beams with the knuckles still on them and good ball joints just sitting in his garage.

 

[88_Eddie]

why not swap over the knuckles onto you're new ball joints and the pig as well?
