Well I finally got some projects done that I desperatley needed attention, one of which was my AVM hub install. Here's a couple of pics for ya!



My Helper:

 

Looks good

 

Sweet!

 

dig the truck...

 

looks great man now you get to jump out and and lock em in

 

yeah but at least I know that I'll have 4wd...no more guessing "are they locked in?" "Does my 4wd work?"......long pause........"Ummmm yeah based on the fact I'm now more stuck than I was before, my front hubs are not locked in?"

Those phrases are now a memory.....only thing I have to worry about letting go is the shift motor.

 

manual hubs FTMFW

 

Man your garage is soooo clean lol. I wish mine looked like that lol.

I need a set of those bad!

 

sweet! where is the rear glass?

 

Andy....hahahah in my backyard collecting dust....(honestly) LOL After moving into a new house, and having a new baby my "ranger time" has been tied up. BUT that is going to change....I hope to work on them this weekend. And yes I'll take plenty of pictures for ya. I plan on doing a write up on it. I think it will help other people to know that these bedsides ( might be just my set) are way out on alignment. So it's going to take some work....but I'm tired of lookin at em....so soon...young padwan....

Jeff: yeah I've had to work hard on that part....I'm going to loose my garage here for 4 days, cause I'm sealing the concrete with quickcrete garage sealer....probabley "Ford" blue with those no-skid white and black decorative flakes....then It'll look good. heheheheh

 

x2 been through that too with the auto hubs

 

looks good!

 

Looks good, I need these... I'm never sure if I've got 4x4, sometimes they lock... Other times I'm stuck haha.

that'll do, that'll do

 

manual hubs doesn't mean its always gunna work. for instance my third time out with mine, they slipped and ive had nothing but trouble locking them since then. somehow water got through the o rings and, welcome to PITA!!!! Grease the HELL out of them. better safe than sorry like me.

 

sweet

 

that's your problem.....NO GREASE.....grease it what gums them up, especially when you get dirt/mud in them. I dunked mine in 30w motor oil and that's it. I haven't had any problems with them at all.

 

yeah you dont want too much grease if any, doesnt let them slide into place.

 

I think the instructions even say specifically not to grease them.

 

Brian correct, the instructions that I got said "NO GREASE" and said to use 30w motor oil....I'll have to scan it and post it up...I think that's the culprit that everyone is having. They are packing them full of grease and then wondering why they won't lock or unlock when they get muddy....NO GREASE PEOPLE!!!! LOL

 

well we don't have to worry about yours getting muddy, haha

 

boy that's calling the kettle black Casey.....your just as bad as matt who can't make it to Altus....so there

 

haha altus shmatlus.

I wish I could do something in the truck now a days. All it does is sit in the garage looking ugly, then the occasional trip to buffalo wild wings which is 5 blocks away
