What have you done to your K2 today?

Ravenkeeper · April 8, 2019

Saturday, ran to Edwards AFB Outdoor Recreation to grab a bouncy (for the kids to play on during the Edwards AFB Chapel Potluck, yesterday), ran into Lancaster/Palmdale to get lunch and some food for said potluck, and then home. Crossed 10,000 miles heading into Lancaster/Palmdale. Sunday, drove to chapel, returned the bouncy, went home (find a sink clogged), ran to Karl's Hardware, back home, removed the hitch tongue, and reinstalled my hitch brake light (after racking my knee into the hitch, backed in too close to the garage).

The photo was taken after my son and I put the fans inside the chapel annex.

Switched over to Amsoil today. Motor, front and rear diff, transfer case. Glad I did the transfer case too, even though this is "normal". 45k in

Changed mine at 52k and it looked exactly the same. Glad it's not just mine!

Put a plug in my tire to get me to the tire shop for a proper internal patch tomorrow [emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2959]

How the hell a 2" long screw can stand straight up on the road to harpoon my tire is beyond me.

Same way a head stud and nut can make it through a 10 ply tire. No pics, but it happened. Brutal

Mine looked similar also. 70k and it was filthy with a bunch of metal.

Installed my color matched All Terrain Grill today. That, along with the Bumpershellz covers that I installed earlier this year, my front end is finally de-chromed to my liking. Next up, no-drill amber roof top clearance lights. Thanks to Britt @Waterfowler41 for that next purchase .

Nice! You’re gonna feel like you have a whole new truck with how it drives after the gears and now these.

Spent the evening chasing a front end knock. Replace sway bar end links and bushing with Moog problem solvers. While the end links weren’t the source of the noise, boy did I feel my sway bar come back to life.

Source of the knocking.... wheel center cap was missing 2 screws....

Switched to Amsoil in the front and rear diffs and transfer case. Adjusted the Kings in front 6 turns got me from a 37 7/8 front fender height to 39 and 1/4. King T-handle shock tool is mandatory for on vehicle adjustments.

Can you post a picture of the position of the top spring seat? I’m curious how far down it is spun to gain 1-3/8” of height on the truck. I’m guessing there are about 1/2” of thread showing at the top?

edit: I can just barely see it in your top pic. Looks like it’s spun roughly 3/4” down on the shock body

Yeah Ive gone a little ham lately on new parts for the truck. Loving the gears. Not sure what these will do for the ride but they sure do look pretty

Where did you find the sway bar end links? I have a 2017 and Moog has nothing for my truck except the sway bar bushings. Thanks

I did 6 full rotations from fully topped out wit no adjustment. I read each turn gives you an 1/8th but for me it was more than that. Also forgot to mention I took the wheels off and jacked it up to releave spring tension. Also sprayed with triflow the night before. I can measure when I get a chance. But it settled some too so I need to remeasure. That t handle tool is a huge help not the one it comes with.

It was 65 and sunny so I got my oil changed tires rotated and air filter cleaned out. Installed a Fumoto valve to save some time on future oil changes.
