What have you done to your ride lately?

[Anathollo]

What the shit? Still the wrong size? Yeah, I think that link you posted looks pretty close based off of the flange they both use.

Edit: Another week of your truck on jackstands and I'll have to use my mod powers to change your username to "MJP2"

Lmfao. I know right. Well I had talked to a guy there at RCV, sent him an email with pics and dimensions in the pics and those are the ones he said to use. So maybe I'm over thinking it and just need to slide them over the whole housing. But the upside is that they can replace those stuff fucking OEM boots. Downside is that either way I'll need another set of boots and it will be another week on the stands.

Or I could take those PITA POS axles off your hands. OEMs would never give you such a hassle.

Just got off the phone with RCV... well this whole boot swap has only cost me ~$500. $120 for ORS boots... sent back. $80 for 2 sets of OEM boots... not going to use.. anybody want to buy them? I'll make a deal. Then another $200 in RCV BAT100 boots and $120 in RCV boot adapters. So really its about $320 that I needed to spend... I just spent more. Yeah me.

Funny my truck doesn't seem to have any trouble with CV boots anymore

Funny my truck doesn't seem to have any straight sheetmetal anymore

Pretty sure the hood is still dent free, but not much else

Slacker.

Ok... maybe God is telling me to SAS this fucker. FedEx delivered the "outer" TRE's today. However I ended up with two sets of inner TRE even though I ordered a set of each. Sending one set back and hitting up NAPA for the rest. #thedarksideofbuyingonline.

^ He doesn't care about your truck

 

[Silverback]

Ok... so maybe its the Devil? That would fit better anyhow. Yeah, now that I think about it.. its the Devil.

 

[bakerla]

Yep. When he's not busy burning the souls of the damned, he's out to get our trucks.

 

[Silverback]

Well it seems so. Mine is now possessed.. while on jack stands. It seems to be a theme around here.

 

[bakerla]

Lol. My truck is in need of something. Its popping and cracking more than normal lately.

 

[Silverback]

Its in need of an exorcism. Maybe we can get a group deal. Just my 2 cents.

But serious, replacing cv boots and inner and outer TRE's should not be this fucked up. Between the weather, not shipping correct parts and folks not knowing what they sold and therefor not knowing what to replace.. its been a cluster.

Well I guess ordering wrong parts was my fault. In the photo its an outer... however... if I check (google part number) it shows an inner. Fuck.
fuck
fuck
drinking a beer
fuck it

Even my hood is dented. I guess I can claim to have clean A pillars - my C pillars are hosed. I can still here Zoom on the first dent, "Don't fix it just yet. You have your cars, we bought this to go out and play. If you still are up tight about it after a year, we'll get it fixed." Some of the best advice I received. It's 'saved' me thousands!!!

 

[offroadohio]

Nothing left straight on mine either
