Max Capacity Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Check out the on line tool places for a cutoff wheel. You may be able to find an electric one of little money. I just plug in one of my air cut off tools and cut the bastards off. If you can find a cheap electric one, invest in a good air compressor (something around $400) and get the $12.00 air tools from one of the discount stores. In the 10 years or so I have only had to replace one of them. It's not like I use them every day. Today's tractor supply flyer has a Campbell Hausfield for $399. I have the Sear red one I paid like $250 for back in 02' and it's louder than it should be, I bought the Sears black one for $400 4-5 years ago, makes much less noise, you can talk next to it and people can hear what your saying. I'm a great dad, I left the black one with my son and I took the red one when I moved in with the GF. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

ClimberDHexMods Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 For all your hex (allen) head bolts, strongly consider Bondhus. Bondhus hex and torx keys and bits can save you a lot of hassle if they keep you from stripping something out with a lesser tool. I did a direct comparison of the following: Craftsman Hex and Torx socket set - Purchased 2012. Torx are garbage. Complete freaking garbage. Hex are a bit better. I use regular Craftsman bolt sockets made 15 years ago, and they are great. But not this other junk. GearWrench Hex and Torx. Better than Craftsman, but leaves things to be desired. Wiha Torx Socket set. This is quality, machining is flawless compared to GW and CM. Bondhus Hex, Torx and Hex L keys. These are possibly the last set I will ever buy. I no longer consider ANY other brands for Torx, Hex, L wrenches, anything. Bondhus. Done. Prices are right where they should be. I lookup the part numbers for the sets I want, then find them on Amazon.

ClimberDHexMods Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 I have all snap on but man do you pay for it. I do only when absolutely necessary. But in almost all cases, I can find a tool or tool set that will do the job just as well for a fraction of the price, usually with a better (in practice) warranty.

ClimberDHexMods Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 I don't doubt that at all but having a snap on guy that shows up once a week is just to convenient Word is some SO tool truck guys won't take my few eBay-bought Snap-On tools because I did not buy them off the truck. It's full commit or nothing, or so it seams. Time is money. If I were to count how much time I have into researching and getting deals on tools, trial and error, I cannot say whether it was all worth it.

MNRZR Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 It sucks to have to pay shipping, but you can always send your broken tools to snapon for repair/replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 True. Or just find a snap on guy that's not an ass hole. Or call snap on and complain about your snap on man. And state that he is not representing them well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 What are the part numbers for the front moog end links? Has the part number changed for rear from the OP? It seems they beefed up the design but not sure if part numbers changed front or rear. Sorry if they are posted in here. Read through most of it but didn't see anything.

boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Not sure wether or not the numbers have changed. But best bet is to find them on rock auto. They are much cheaper. And it's really only the fronts that are beefed up. But they are the "problem solver" links. The rears will be pretty close to stock looking.

ClimberDHexMods Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Just browse the RockAuto catalog for your year LGT, and get the ones that look the most overbuilt, if that is what you want. You can always Google each part number from the catalog to read a blurb about which one has what characteristics.

And it's really only the fronts that are beefed up. But they are the "problem solver" links. The rears will be pretty close to stock looking. The rears are now upgraded (much larger) and include grease fittings like the upgraded front links. Not sure if there is a new part number but the box I just recieved says: Moog: K750023.

Moddiction Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sounds good. I'll order them from rock auto now. Picture if rears look the same as all but hopefully they are the beefier ones.

derp Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 rears were nearly twice as thick as stockers. I just installed them two weeks ago. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Nice I searched all around for the beefer rears when I did mine and they weren't heard of. Guess they just came out with them. Owell the moog oem replacements are still holding just fine. Ill make the step up when these go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moddiction Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Those who have the beefier ones did you buy them from rock auto with that same part number?

boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've learned that if you call most local major chain parts stores they will match prices. I check the price on rock auto then call advanced autos 800#. And they match the price every time. Ex. Had to replace the rear speed sensor. Advanced wanted $160+. Rock auto wanted $50-60. Advanced matched the price and I was able to pick it up same day in local store. Same thing with the moog links. I saved about 50% by getting advanced to price match and didnt have to wait for shipping. Never pay full price for your parts. And don't wait for them to be shipped.

Moddiction Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I just bought them from rock auto. I'd imagine no difference between years for the end links right? Hope not haha. I have an 08.

joeleodee Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just picked all 4 corners at rockauto for literally $66 and change shipped to my door. Can't beat that. Hopefully, they're the same as what's been touted here as beefier. Ordered same part numbers as mentioned in post #53. I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
