Smile Gallery

Finally Figured Out How To Create A Gallery.
Just A Few Photos Of The Exterior To Get Started.

Can't Seem To Be Able To Get Pictures Small (60 Pix.x60 Pix ) To Use Them As An Avatar.

I really like the two tone paint job.
I use MS paint to resize my avatar pictures. Use the "stretch/skew" tool and size it down until it's the right size. I've tried other programs, but Paint seems to keep the greatest amount of detail once the pictures get that small. Other products make it look pixelated.

Yes Johnny, I Did Put The Warn Manual Hubs On Myself.
It Is Very Easy To Do. Takes About Five Or Ten Minutes Each Side Depending On How Hard To Get Old Ones Off (sometimes They Get Stuck On A Little).


Thanks Kwik....i Will Try The Ms Paint.

i also make my avatars in paint. i make the size 59X59, and then zoom in so it looks bigger. that is how the letters look perfect.

when you unbolt them and take them off... any springs or small parts underneath to watch out for...? i still have the stock ones, but they stick a little.. tough to lock and unlock... can i take them off and just lube them with something and put them back on...?

btw... i like the paint too...!

Really nice rig 4X4. I can't remember ever seeing those colors. Mine is just white, but I do a lot of off road racing and playing, the dirt is a pain. I guess I need to take some pics and start a gallary of my own.

Found a Pic and created a starter Gallary. Here she is.

Warn Hub Change Out

REMOVALE OF OLD HUBS......
TAKE OFF LUG NUT COVER
NEAR THE BASE OF YOUR OLD LOCKING HUBS IS A LARGE SNAP RING SPRING. SQUEESE IT AND TAKE IT OFF........PULL OLD HUB STRAIGHT OUT.
IF IT DOES NOT COME OUT EASILY THEN KNOCK IT BACK AND FORTH WITH A RUBBER MALLET A LITTLE TO LOOSEN IT AND THEN PULL IT STRAIGHT OUT.
HUBS ARE NOW OFF....I GUESS YOU COULD LUBE IT UP A BIT AND LUBE THE "O" RING AND THEN SLIDE IT BACK ON BUT I DID NOT DO THIS. I REPLACED MY STOCK ONES WITH THE NEW WARNS. DID NOT WANT TO RISK MORE LOCKING HUB FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. ( MY PROBLEM WAS LEAKING VACUUM)

ANYWAY, NOW SLIDE YOUR NEW HUBS IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONES. A THINNER SNAP RING IS SUPPLIED TO USE ( DON'T FORGET TO BEND THE END OF THE RING UP A TINY BIT AS THIS YOU WILL NEED TO GET IT BACK OUT IF YOU EVER NEED TO....SUPPLIED DIRECTIONS WILL TELL YOU THIS ALSO ).
NOW, PUT YOUR NEW COVERS ON AND SECURE WITH THE SIX SUPPLIED BOLTS. NOW YOUR ALMOST DONE....

NEXT, SEAL OFF YOUR VACUUM LINES AT EACH WHEEL OR SEAL OFF THE VACUUM UP AT THE VACUUM PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE PASSENGER FENDER WELL IN SIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I SEALED MINE OFF AT THE PUMP AND LEFT THE VACUUM LINES INTACT AT THE WHEELS.

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU JOHNNY. I'M NOT REAL GOOD AT DISCRIPTIONS.
ALSO, THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THIS INSTALATION IN THE FORUMS. I HAD DONE SOME SEARCHES BEFORE I BOUGHT MY HUBS

LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP YOU ANY MORE.

GOOD LUCK

Johnny... My Originals Were Autos. So You Have No Vacuum Lines To Deal With. But The Removal And Install Should Still Be The Same... I Think
