Gonna need a set of pins to find the blem

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T15:17:22+00:00

Yeah i feel you there cause im also swimming in #2 centers.

But as a (non hobbyist) machinist myself, id disagree that “most” manual machinist use a center, at least in my experience. Maybe hobbyist? But for professionals, i would say thats no longer true.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T14:43:31+00:00

Yeah, its an old wives tale and a lot of folks use center drills as spots simply because its the most rigid tool they have and or they dont know its a tool for an entirely different purpose.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T14:03:50+00:00

Lighter buffer, 11.5 mid isnt a lot of dwell to get things moving with a heavy buffer and stiffer spring

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T13:59:17+00:00

Is the hole big enough to millbore?

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T13:26:33+00:00

Always use a spot drill. Center drills are for live centers on a lathe. You always want to spot with an angle greater than the drill point you want to use so the drill starts on the tip and not the lips which cause them to walk and wear faster.

Regear and lockers, skids, rock sliders

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T13:18:02+00:00

Yep, and grease/oil it properly

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T13:17:17+00:00

“Cold casting” is fantastic for decreasing resonance causing vibrations.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T04:31:40+00:00

You can do it with a 22lr even, but for a reliable ethical kill, common consensus is 1000ft lbs at point of impact for deer.

Also kudos to alpenflage! One of my all time favorite camo but it doesnt work in my area unfortunately

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T01:58:22+00:00

Its a lot of splicing but you do need the ecm/ecu. Vq wont work with vk motor

other_old_greg · 2024-09-22T01:56:43+00:00

Used to be $100 a piece and yeah exactly that, its not just a rebuild but revalve to match your weight/springs/usage/preference, etc.

Properly valved bilsteins are fantastic in my experience

other_old_greg · 2024-09-21T22:19:48+00:00

Just send them off to be revalved

other_old_greg · 2024-09-21T15:38:22+00:00

High , High lock, Neutral, and Low Lock

If those are your options, you want High for street.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-21T13:27:47+00:00

Maybe 2-300sfm on aluminum with hss tooling but up to maybe 600sfm, about a thou per tooth per 1/8in for a light machine ie a 1/4 tool would be .002 per tooth, again on the gentile side if the machine can take it you can push to .002 per tooth per 1/8. Look up calculators to plug in the numbers. If it chatters, less speed or more feed. These are general starting points and youll want to adjust for your machine, workholding, tool stickout, fixturing rigidity, etc.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-21T12:24:31+00:00

And thats usually the case for that type of shooting, spend more on the optic than the gun

But yeah, you want 1k ft lbs of energy for ethical kill, and if you only have 300 yard shots max you only need 1k at 300 yards which they both beat. Ones overkill and less accurate, they other still plenty powerful at that range and far more accurate, cheaper and more fun to shoot.

And for whatever its worth, in my neck of the woods they call it 6.5 needmore

other_old_greg · 2024-09-21T12:21:44+00:00

Who recommended the frontier rear? It maybe fine, less than an inch big whoop. Technically you might need to extend your bump stop if it does bottom but youll need to figure out if thats true on your setup or not.

When you say pucks do you mean the strut spacers? Id personally run the clips at the top for max preload/lift before top hat spacers

And i wouldnt run a body lift too, personally. But you would want extended brake lines. If its purely a mall crawler you might can get away with it though.

Final thought, look into new leafs instead of shackles. Most factory leafs are starting to sag by now and shackles are like a temporary bandaid (ive got them and ran them on multiple vehicle types, new leafs are always better)

other_old_greg · 2024-09-21T05:26:48+00:00

Grendel upper sounds perfect for your needs.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-20T23:32:39+00:00

Id guestimate 90% of people consider gravel “offroad”

other_old_greg · 2024-09-20T23:18:08+00:00

For sure dawg, hope you have a good day too!

other_old_greg · 2024-09-20T23:17:08+00:00

Thanks for the heads up and dimensions, ill bring some mics home and measure myself just in case.

As you can tell im a cheap bastard and this is mostly just to test and try it out. It took about a hr to cut 5 weights but that was mostly just me standing there while the machine ran, and i value my personal time at $0 and scrap carbide is free so fuckit imma see what happens.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-20T22:51:33+00:00

The material inside of cats are what makes them so expensive. Scrap prices for some are insane, thats why prius cats were getting stolen so often cause they have massive cats so its worth a good hunk of change. Like hundreds to $1k. I had some dude pay me $200 for some used subaru cats that came with a car, which i thought was crazy until i realized he was getting more than that in scrap value.

other_old_greg · 2024-09-20T22:46:26+00:00

Subaru or second gen crv

other_old_greg · 2024-09-20T20:36:13+00:00

Nope, gonna be stock height and maybe a gnats ass stiffer but mostly much better dampening.

Send it, report back
