P1000m5 GlockMeisters P1K5 Build Continues

[GlockMeister]

I think the SATV arms are a major contributor in the wear.

Yes...i know you among others have replaced bushings several times. Really surprised i havent had to yet.

 

[GlockMeister]

Damn man that’s a lot all at once. Contact @RB3offroad for the replacement Satv bushings, think you’ll be happy

Ill keep them in mind for the next set...already had the SATV on the way. Whats your thoughts on the frame stiffener and gusset kit so far?

Been awhile...but its maintenance time again. After complete teardown found....
All Super ATV bushings are shot
Driver sides upper control arm mounting tab holes are wallered out.
Both upper ball joints need replaced
Passenger side outer tierod worn
Drivers inner tie rod had worked loose.
Ordered all new bushings and a Super ATV frame stiffener with gusset kit.
Also will have to do weld washers on upper control arm tabs.View attachment 163489

Your rough on stuff lol or Tackett was... I have a few things to replace that were showing signs of wear prior to tackett but once you get started you might as well get it all done...

Pretty sure the last log I hit that took out tire and tie rod probably would’ve ripped out the front control arm tab without it.
One thing I was worried about is it getting loose because of being a bolt in piece, that hasn’t been the case yet.
Honest opinion is I think there could be a better solution but for a bolt in support it’s much better then nothing and the price and ease of install makes it worth the money. Wish had it from day one there would’ve been lots less to fix.
Check your skid plate to see if it works with it, should tuck up under the back

Lol...pretty sure the upper control arm is solely Tackett creek but the rest it probably didnt help either.

So you already had noticed that there was some maintenance coming even before the Tackett ride?

It’s good to know that Tackett didn’t do all of that

 

[Plumber32]

I just did a little look see the other day when I dropped the preload in my suspension down and front is tight, I was surprised but I did change out any remotely loose ones before Colorado. I had my shocks too stiff at tackett.

I just did bushings in my SATV arms last weekend. Not a bad job just time consuming. She's tight as hell now.

 

[GlockMeister]

SATV frame stiffener installed, new A Arm bushing, upper and lower ball joints, and outer tie rods all replaced. Should be good to go for next weekend at SMORR.

Had a rear axle seal go out on the rear end and finally got around to changing it out. Used the wifes rig to lift er up.

Definitely a beauty about having a second rig.

Yes, that second rigs a beauty!

It is! It’s lost some of the gay flair though

Wife got me a new radio for Christmas. Finally got it put in. Will be nice not having to worry about keeping the handheld charged up. Gotta figure out where i want to put the mic yet.

 

[GlockMeister]

Also got this new high speed, low drag air compressor. Should do the trick.

I bought the same one the day I got back from Takeover last year. Great little compressors!

Be easy with the handle on the chuck. I broke mine off the 2nd time i used it. Better yet, get a real clamp on chuck and barb fitting and hose clamp and throw it in the bag for when you do break it.

Good idea...i got the clamp on because i hate the threaded end ones...too hard to thread when you've had too many kool aids

Maybe if I get a really big antenna we can talk to each other to try them out! I struggled to find a place to put my mic and ended up putting it on the dash by the radio because it kept the cord out of the way.
