'84 K5 Build (Midlife Crisis)

Got the ribs in here clearanced. All the grinding and drilling is done now as far as the arb prep goes. I guess it’s truss time now.

So do you silicone the copper line to the case so that it doesn’t rub?

What's this?

 

[Bent77]

Where the ARB line runs parallel to the case, I blob silicone there and let it set up. Works like a stand off so the copper line won’t vibrate against the case and develop a leak

I never have before, but it sounds like a good idear
to me!

No going back now, haha

Those new competition ARB’s default to locked position when you lose air too. It’s about fkn time they did that.

6 or 1/2 dozen for me on that. For a broken one that you drive home, open is good. But you are still on the trail

I drive home and I’d rather it be locked going home than get yanked for hours off the trail open. Same reason why I run the Yukon lockouts.

nope because when they break they’re locked

bwahaha

Good thread @Fastereddie !!

 

[Fastereddie]

I know this here arb is open without air applied. But I do have yukon hubs.

 

[mrk5]

Where'd the stands come from?

They are sunex brand 10 ton. I believe I got them from northern tool. They weren’t cheap. I think they were 250ish but pay for themselves every time I use them.

Was that Ron’s ARB?

I believe it’s their “competition” model that defaults to locked without an air supply.

@Bent77 I don’t see anywhere the copper would vibrate against the housing, so ima send it.
