'86 Jimmy 4in Lift, 40’s, tons, 8.1 Swap- 700r4 said PNNNNN
- Thread starter GWeakland620
- Start date
This is not a dedicated trail rig, but does trailer to the destination usually. I am currently in the planning phase of doing a 52/56" spring swap, and getting back to being more road worthy.
Motivation, this was mine from back in the day...
5" on lift and 39.5's

Finished mounting these up. Just need valve cores now.
What are you running to make up for the backspacing on the wheels? Spacers and dually hubs?
Yep he traded @Justin V for doolie hubs
That and I have my machine shop buddy making me some sweet spacers.
These are on my brothers.

Just like ford super duty front dually spacers.
And sweet jumps
I'm going to assume you meant "any" sweet jumps.
Yes, at the dunes. Lost his RH fender on the landing lol.
The one tire I put air in is holding strong at 10psi.
Borrowed a small roofing compressor to air up the others since my big one crapped out a couple weeks ago.

I bet the nail gun would be able to add excellent ice studs for the winter too. Two birds one stone.
Checked this tire this morning and it was down to 6psi. Time to break out the soapy water bottle.
You replace the o rings?
Replaced? No.
But I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
But no really, I inspected them. They looked really good. The only thing I didn't look over were the 2 piece valve stems. I'm going to pull those apart tonight.
Started the tear down and rebuild of the front end. Doing one side at a time as to not mix up bearings and lockout parts.
Any idea how to get a broken grease zerk out?

An extractor, or drill it carefully and then run a tap into the hole to clean up the threads once it's out.
Bolt extractor. The way that one is broken looks like even a flathead screwdriver would get it out. If you hold your mouth the right way when you do it.
Totally went a different route thanks to a local 4x4 buddy.
Drill bit on the back side and it literally backed the zerk right out. Same principle as an extractor.

These seals at the base of the king pin, dust seal or more important than that?
They are split in a couple areas.

I prefer to have them. Keeps the kingpin grease clean and keeps the dirt out.
