94extreme Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 i was being a bit sarcastic there...just put a couple of large hose clamps hooked togather and tighten that... the factory banding is not really adjustable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 You'll probably need to snip off the stock clamp and use a large-diameter hose clamp, like mzxtreme said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 i just put a bigger hose clamp over it with some electrical tape.. i figure itll be good enogh when i get the warn manual hubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter_xe Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey, a bit off topic here, just wondering how the AC arms installed, did they line up precisely or were they a PITA like i've heard?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1716 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 the arms or the lift coils.. i dunno about the arms but the coils went in easy! no compressor needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter_xe Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 ...so do you have coils in the front?? i'm running an '88 so i'm guessing the setup is a wee bit different. I was wondering about the AC arms but i guess i'll just have to get some and find out. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 madhatter....check the 87-90 Forum....I'm sure that topic has been covered before. And Nick...I've actually had a completely shredded CV boot for about a year now, but it doesn't make much difference with the manual hubs, as the CV axles aren't turning with the hubs unlocked. I will be replacing the boot soon though, because I'm going to be going wheeling on the 9th at Rausch Creek in PA and can't be having that!
