Anyone have anything? I think I'm finally ready for the BL

, I have the pucks and longer bolts I just need to get the "easy to find bolts", once I figure out what they are, from the hardware store. I have been spraying since here and there since the GG run, went through one can of PB so far. Hopefully I get everything. I do need to drive to Gene's and Mike's sometime to pick up some stuff so if either of you can help and want to do a 2 for?

Ok, I have the 4 long bolts and the pucks. Do I need the spacers and does anyone know what size the rest of the nuts and bolts are?

The copper spacers on the left are for the safety loop, so that you will need to connect the loop back to the body. Check out this Xterrafirma posting but to summarize the hardware:

Quote:

Go to your local Fastenal, Ace Hardware, etc. and Purchase the following(grade 8 ) hardware:

(6) 3/8" nylock locking nuts
(6) 3/8" washers
( 8 ) 1/2" washers
(2) 12mm x 180mm x 1.25" bolts (rear of truck by bumper going up)
(2) 10mm x 160mm x 1.25" bolts (2nd to last body mount toward the rear bumper)
(6) 6" x 7/16" x 14mm bolts (the other 6 body mounts of the truck)
(2)- 5/8"o.d. x 2" long (driveshaft safety loops spacers)
(2) 10mm x 80mm x 1.25" thread

Nice! Thank you, my internet harasser! :-)

I wasn't trying drag Gene or Mike into this, sorry if it came out that way. I was just throwing out the option of doing it down there, in other words if you great guys that you are can help, I can come down there.

Know what I'm sayin?

I'd be willing to help. But we would need a garage to do it in incase of rain. And I don't have one..

Just sitting here awaiting your date. :wink:

I'd like to do it next weekend, if possible. Gene is suggesting a garage, mine is full of crap and my driveway isn't great for working under a vehicle. I'd be willing to do it outside, sucks this time of year with the pop up storms but, we can cancel if rain is in the forecast unless someone with a garage has something they want to do to their trucks.

I'm willing to throw in, but I'm booked next weekend..

A garage would help to have

Big E 515 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:16 pm

I can either do it next weekend or Saturday the 8th. Whatever is best for y'all.

Well, I don't have a garage, BUT, I will help out if you find one.

Good luck getting it out.. :lol:

I know I can't fit mine in one.. :shock:

Well without any suspension lift (PML or otherwise) or cargo rack and a parking structure with a mimimum height of 6'8" will work. I only have a BL but otherwise stock suspension and fit where I park. :wink:

I could rig up a tarp in the yard if there are no garages available?
