What did you do to your GMT today?

If you haven't done it already, flaring the tube will help a lot.

I didn't think about it but look like a good idea.
I'll try it.

thank

[maricard]

Just to be sure I have to buy something like that?



and the flare have to look like that?



Is it a bit sharp for the rubber?

May be there are another flare type that I don't know?

[Jrgunn5150]

That's a double flare, you can bubble flare it, which is the first step in a double flare anyway. Same tool.

[v7guy]

That tool will sorta do the job if you're careful.

[maricard]

Well if I understood I have to do the first step of a double flare up to figure 3 on this pic...
In this way it won't have sharp edge. right?

[v7guy]

That would be the easiest, a more expensive hydraulic flare tool (like mastercool) can get you the push lock fitting. If you don't expect to flare many lines though it may not be worth the expense.

[Jrgunn5150]

Correct

Took my "blue bus" up in the mountains for a short run to a favorite hiking spot, with a couple of buddies along for the day. Weather was great, 12C and sunny, so every other 4x4, ATV, and shooter was out in the hills today, too.

Marc-Antoine, instead of getting the flare kit, just get a compression fitting to NPT adapter, then use a hose barb to NPT fitting to adapt to the length of hose you're using. A hose clamp on the barb will hold very well.

Took a bunch of photos to update my build thread.

I like the steelies.

[KE7WOX]

I like the steelies.

They look pretty good when not coated in salt, the general feedback I got on the facebooks is that they make the truck look meaner and more rugged. I'll try to grab shots after I wash it, or after the rain washes it this weekend.

I Like them, I really need to get mine in the blaster here lol

[Shdwdrgn]

Just paint your rims black. That makes any of them look better

[HARDTRAILZ]

Or just makes em look ghetto

Says the man who can't even keep his wheels tucked under his fenders like a proper gentleman!

[HARDTRAILZ]

Function they do. I like my fenders and sliders plus tires have kept them straight. I actually may be setting them wider

[Norcrosski]

A little bit of stance never hurt and it has also kept my body good when I've slapped trees and banks in holes where steering was a no

Finally back after a few months. New job working from home, so less driving of the TBlaze. However, I have discovered a seeping front diff seal and my 4WD won't engage. We got a foot of snow the last week and without a locker, I can hardly get out of the driveway. I replaced the disconnect actuator a few months back to replace a failing one and it had been fine since. Now, no dice, won't engage. Hopefully I can get somewhere where I can pull it apart today, I'm guessing it has some moisture in it and has frozen. Wish me luck.
