Here is the dam body bolt that I cant get off. The dam bottom rubber mount thing spins when you turn the bolt, and i cant find something that is big enough to stop it, any ideas

You go to the hobby shop and do that?

rangerboy101 06-21-2009 09:53 AM

Do you have to have those ugly black things on your flares?

Ranger_Boi 06-21-2009 09:56 AM

so r those on 33's right now?

The S-10 Killer 06-21-2009 10:09 AM

what about getting someone to press a screw driver in the little half moon nick on the bottom piece to hold it while you remove it????

seed60 06-21-2009 10:58 AM

It's gonna looks great!!

sullys_ranger 06-21-2009 11:33 AM

For the last bolt get a big pair of channel locks and a strong friend. Heat that puppy up and use a cheater-bar with your breakerbar and it should come off.

yeah, we tried some channel locks.. didnt seem to hold it.. the that piece of metal with the two notches in it is attached to the rubber part, and they both move.. just bottom not the top piece..about the only thing we can figure out is a very big pair of vice grips..

Oh and it looks like ill be pretty much finishing this by myself with the occational help from a bystander tomorrow, everyone has to work.. lol..

No. 35's

So, I have some questions..

How the Hell do i remove the tow hooks.. I cant get them fvckers off for anything.. Do I have to remove the bumper completely to lift it? im going to cut the valance anyways to keep the hooks..

where the hell is the dam firewall ground strap lol.. I cant find the dam thing to remove/add the new bracket..

TexasRanger 06-21-2009 12:18 PM

my hooks are 3 bolts, one into the front and two on the underside if i remember correctly

Rangerkid 06-21-2009 12:26 PM

Done yet?

EricRanger 06-21-2009 12:26 PM

if your going to cut the valence, you dont have to take off the tow hooks. and for those front cab bolts, i got pissed and welded a steel bar to it, then with a breaker bar it came off. lol

haha. thats funny. yeah, we prob. could have gotten the whole cab done today if we could have gotten the cab bolts done. we have all of them done except the one under the drivers side seat. I would have been able to get it if we had big enough vise grips to hold the washer thinger from moving with the bolt as we were trying to loosin it.
