The u bolts were a bust today.  I couldn't break them loose.  So I lubed again and went about peeping the spindles for paint and deciding if I should replace the wheel bearings in the front hub assembly

Cut them off, torch or cutting wheel on angle grinder.

I have one from the dmax store that has a replacement guarantee on it. The other I would just need to order.   Need to check with the buddy how long my truck can take up his drive way.  Hubs are pretty fast to replace also

Today I started scraping off the undercoat junk that is all over my frame, it appears to be covering everything.   It gets eaten by parts cleaner and whipped off with a rag.   I cleaned and sprayed some good ol rust-oleum enamel on it.  I hate the gloss.

Just don't use an impact close to the ground on those nuts and then leave your finger behind the back of the gun when you hit reverse....


I've heard of someone (cough) getting their hand pinned to the shop floor by the impact as it backed the nut off and being unable to reach the reverse button since it was on the back of the gun...  jus sayin

I'm not sure what that factory stuff is. Having said that if pay money to have nice clean metal like you do under it.
And what Charles said...my reverse however is on the trigger side...

Oh boys.  I have been removing unknown gooo on the passenger side today.  Purchased a different paint to apply. Less shine.  I also picked up some self etching primer as I assume the other stuff will fail shortly before I decide to seek the truck.  I better prep the passenger side correctly.

Remove bad stuff. Clean with parts cleaner apply primer in two coats  then let air dry and apply black bed liner( its supposed to be resistant to chemicals and not a heavy texture like undercoating.  More paint like.
I also found a socket I dropped four months ago and never recovered

I dropped an 11 or 12 mm on top of my motor several years ago. Couldn't find it with my bore camera. I suspect at some point I'll have enough off the top that it too will turn up.

Frame cleaning looking good.

Looks real good, interesting pattern for powder coating, I like it. And by the looks of your frame it should even stand up for quite some time to come.

They call it hammer tone grey/silver.  I guess it's just a mixture of powder,   They first zinc primer the parts, the apply a coat of the silver, then black then a clear over it.   It's almost 1/8 thick in spots and I have had to grind some off in areas to allow parts to fit. I like the way it turned out

My stock adjusters seem to hold up fine.

Tires, that is the going price here too. I wait for sales if I can. Last time I got my 35's (tires and wheels) with promotions I got them for 1200, then sold my old set for 500.

Discount/Americas Tires has priced match online prices for me.

Bigger lugs should drive better on the road.

I was thinking the nitto would be a little quieter and I am wondering if it will last a little longer because or more surface area on the tread pattern

if you go with the nittos, you ought to think about siping the center lugs, but request just the centers, not the outers as they can chunk.

My last Nittos chunked badly, but likely more due to the gravel I'm always on.
I can recommend a tire if you travel a lot of crushed rock gravel road as I've tried a lot of them, and have 200 miles each way on it, but for a normal use pickup, likely not needed.

Some guys around here have had trouble with the BFG's on the heavier trucks.
Chunking issues etc, but in the half tons not too bad, b I know some guys do ok with them too.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

What do you run Sam? I ordered the nitto. Weather I Like it or not that's what is paid for.  I like the way the sidewall looks and the hope of larger surface area bringing longer wear patterns

I'm running Toyo M-55's again. I think you'll be happy with the Nittos.
My biggest problem is the rock used on our road. It's crushed black shale, and or granite.
Arrowheads...
Second to that is my truck is spray full of stuff. I likely carry 500# of crap when I'm empty.
3/4" crusher belt on bottom of box, tools, liquids, etc.
Then when I come home all bets are off. One trip was 1/4" off bump stops, whatever that means other than too heavy.
Third problem is I have a lead foot. Even the gravel doesn't normally slow me too much, unless it's in the state of treachery it has been this year.

These tires are a VERY hard compound.
This makes them stand up well, but give up a bit in cold weather traction.
Seems like an oxymoron for someone living where I do, but their grip level was similar to Terra Grapplers on ice, and better in slush, muck, and snow.
So kind of a trade off.

The other problem some have is they only make limited sizes.
I'm running 265/75/16's so I'm good. Not sure if they make 35's or not.

The Nittos I ran couldn't take the constant pounding of the rock.
I got around 30 ish k miles out of them. They still had lots of tread, just too chunked and cut up.
They stood up better than any of the others I've ran, so they should be good on mainly highway for a lot longer. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

OH MAN !!! Im jealous!! Keep us updated on how you like them. I had just posted something about that new Nitto last month. What size did you go with? I agree with Tate on possibly siping the center. My last Nitto Trail Grapplers were my favorite tire to date, while ive been struggling to decide between the BFG and this new Nitto. That sidewall...ooooooooo :o

I think if we were to ask my wife who's fault this is. She would blame you
As for the size 35/12.50(closer to 13.50) 17 inch wheel.
I am really impressed. I can't bark the tires on corners or in the wet road.   It holds great to the freeway and handles a hard downshift like a champ where the old BFGs would break loose on the freeway keeping you from moving in the direction of travel I want to go.

Great build!  I am glad you went with the Nittos, I have heard that the BFG's were not made like they used to be.  I am very interested in the ridge grapplers.  How do they hold up being they have been on there for several months now?

I have noticed thus far good wear pattern, snow travel has been good and I have been in some pretty deep fields.  Road noise is minimal and they need to be rotated here shortly. 

I still need to fix the steering rattle and there is something clunking in the back

Sounds like the dreaded driveline thump and steering linkage rattle. I think Sam posted up a fix for that somewhere here...

Actually I think it was Kyle. I did ask about it tho.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
