You notice it with no music playing, but I love it. The only bad sound I have is cruising at around 15-1600 rpms it sounds a little higher then I would like. But I even want more now that I have the muffler delete. I may go onto straight pipes. In my opinion it's not stupid loud, but it sounds nice.

Well we got a problem any thoughts?

 

[derian06]

The problem is still there, it's been sitting in break away for while now. And they're going to retry. I was there for about 4 hours today. I still really need some help, if they can't get it with break away then they'll have to use heat which could screw up my ABS new ones are 315$ each.

Met a guy there today with a nice H2 he is going to be joining the forum pretty soon.

You painted it green?

 

[derian06]

The break away worked after 8 hours! Thank goodness, he got the new spindles on and it will be off for an alignment tomorrow.

Did the Hubs finally break free of the knuckles? I had issues like that with one of my Jeep's. It was honestly easier to remove them with the knuckles still attached to the Jeep, but I used some LP1 and Royal Purple Lube Spray, let em soak really really good, then hit them carefully with a dead blow hammer working my way all around the hub. Once it starts to move re soak it, and keep at it. Once it gets penetrated by the lube they should break free. I used the same technique to remove rusted on rotors from the hubs and it's worked well for me.

They finally got em off thankfully they didn't have to resort to heat. I was scared my ABS would have malfunctioned. Sneak peak, it's out for an allignment then i'm going to get it!

Looks great! With the spacers how much do the rims stick out? If I was to find a gold mine in my back yard I'd do the Rancho Lift on my Alpha.

I haven't seen it yet! He sent me a pic at the alignment shop. I'm going to grab it at around 1:30 it's 1 here so I'll keep yall updated

It's great! It feels way better with the rancho than it did with the T-bar cranked.

Garage probs

super excited, it looks WAY bigger with the 4" lift. I'm happy with every penny spent.

gotta paint the skid now, crawled some rocks at my house and wow. The flex is great.

Very good job! I'm routing for

 

[Best4x4]

Looks very nice, I'd probably go with 1.25 spacers on my rig.

Great truck! Do the rancho cross members come in red or did u paint them?
Now you have to body lift and put 37s!

If you are wanting to be able to use the factory rims and be able to air down...you have to at least use the 1.75 adapters.

I painted them! Sadly I just realized the front skid for the alpha doesn't fit at all with the rancho and i'm going to have to cut it down.

 

[Best4x4]

With just a T-Bar crank? I just want to move the rims out enough so that I don't contact the front sway bar.
