Anyone else wrenching during quarantine?

[smarshall]

IT never sleeps, so I am working as usual just at breakneck volume!

I hear you. I'm a sysadmin\hardware tech and with the work from home policy in place it is chaos right now. It is unbelievable how many people completely forget how to remotely use a laptop they have had for years. It seems the majority of the laptops never left the office. I'm getting questions like - What is VPN? and Why can't I access everything like I'm sitting at my desk?

Not sure when I'll get to it, but I have a Synergy track bar and sector shaft brace still to install. Everyone is making that project sound so fun. I'm definitely buying something to heat the pitman arm nut. I also ordered a new Synergy track bar to replace the rancho one I installed in November. And last but not least, I have some Mopar aux switches in the garage that I still need to install.

No need to heat if you have one of these ........

It took literally a few seconds to spin it off, like taking off a lug nut.......

If you don’t have one, I suggest you buy, borrow , rent or steal one, it’s worth it.......

Don't even get me started on that damn Pitman arm nut! I gave myself a hernia, a hemorrhoid and a concussion trying to get that damn thing off!

Roids are a bitch !

I do have one of those (same model), but sometimes I can’t get a slightly overtorqued lug nut off with it.

Maybe it was more than slightly over torqued, I don’t know, I do know it hammered about 5 times and the pitman nut spun right off. Set on highest setting it’ll damn near break your wrist if you’re not careful....lol..

Something to lighten up the mood lol. “Song” starts at 0:30 seconds. I suspect this is what most will be doing during the quarantine:

Okay, maybe I don’t have the same model, mine is maybe 5 years old and only has forward and reverse settings. Guess I’ll be using heat.

Looks like my impact wrench has 450 ft/lbs torque and yours has 1400 (in reverse). Might need to upgrade.

YESS, my power interrupt kit is arriving today. I was going to just add a simple disconnect but decided to the way of the kit. Also my case of A$$wipes are out for delivery, the actual name is A$$wipe from (FreshBalls.com) so obviously I had to order them hahah.

If 450ftlbs of torque doesn't cut it we have bigger problems, my Dewalt (rated at 450ftlbs) has busted loose everything I can throw at it this includes rusted lower control arm bolts on my Land Rover LR4.

With many forms of usual entertainment shut down here in Colorado, I’ve brought forward some of my planned upgrades. Last weekend was installation of Synergy drag link, tie rod and stabilizer. Just ordered the front trackbar and sector shaft brace. Awaiting delivery of a rear bumper, installed backup lights (still have to wire them up) and will finally get around to painting the dashboard pieces. I had originally planned to spread this stuff out, but you can only binge on so much TV!

I agree, Tom! We're in Denver as well. Been working on small upgrades, researching and planning out upgrades, trips, equipment needed and what trails to try. I say, once this is over, we hit the trails here in Colorado! I saw the Colorado Jeep Club (On FB) is doing a meet up up in Idaho Springs this Saturday. With the weather and the quarantine we're going to pass but with EJS being cancelled along with all the campsites and town of Moab, I think the Colorado people should get together and do a EJS here in Colorado. Maybe pick a few trails to hit.

My new Synergy Rear Upper Control Arms were delivered today so I will definitely be wrenching this weekend
