P1000m5 Adam490's Short Bus

[Russ989]

Got one rear side done before I had to come in for dad duty. Only mild cussing and a little tweaking on the frame tabs to get them on.

Lt Dan has new rear legs. Passenger side went right on with no fuss. Hopefully start on the front tomorrow!

30" Terrabites, they'll be here Friday hopefully.

Those seem to be a good tire, can wait to see them mounted up on the short bus. 😉

Decided I would see what the "pre-adjusted so I don't have to" is all about. Apparently"pre-adjusted" means like 2° of positive camber. Has the bus sittin like a bowlegged cowboy

Make sure you drive it before you make any adjustments. These machines always settle after driving

Congratulations buddy, those tires will work great for your intended use.

I think so. It'll be nice having a set of tires for the mud and a set for running around in the mountains.

The stuff I sent should be showing up today as well.

Yep!! Got everything torn down and knocked the paint off a few minutes ago so I can throw them on there when the mail shows up. Thanks again

Thanks again brother, these are legit. Tacked them on for now and I'll go back and do the full weld when I put the gussets on the front lower frame mounts after Mulberry.

Finished up mounting the front SATV arms this afternoon. I don't know how you guys that reused the factory lower ball joints got them out of your arms; I had mine in the deep freezer over night and grenaded both of them trying to press them out this morning. Uppers pressed right out and went right in.

Spent the last hour torquing bead lock bolts...

Made a ghetto-fied shower curtain mid-panel. Should do the job for my $11 invested.

I've been meaning to do the same thing! I guess I better put a shower curtain on mama's grocery list when she goes to Walmart.

Are those to strength the upper A-Arms bolt holes to prevent them from getting oversized?
