Suggestions for fuel cell locking style gas cap (ALL metal ONLY)
https://youtube.com/shorts/uX2IcllMzeU Plugin with me here as well, going to be working on editing some footage now that I got her back together. Got alot of stuff from down stuff I'm dying to get together and share. But, some of yall might already have a similar fuel setup or race cars on the side and know just what i am talmbout. I just want to be about to keep the fuel from theft or other so *I* gotta open the cap and no one else without the key. Y'all see we got the fuel pump on the bed wall? Yesssssirrrrr

QUESTION: Is this lithium grease straight for the joints/tie-rods?
need to use my utool grease gun i got from amazon. wanted to ask before i got the other stuff, my guy said he always greases with the red stuff. But he uses HQ stuff. For those who rock with harbor freight, this stuff here will work? I'm gon go grease crazy on all the points on the body later on. https://www.harborfreight.com/14-oz-sta-plex-extreme-pressure-premium-red-grease-40710.html

I guess also, alot of us HF things so a better question could be if you've used it - any complaints? How have you liked it?
Got the tie-rods in... busted knuckles, pickle forks and lithium grease OH MY
A little raw video, only place i posted this is here, so this is for everybody here. Anyway, tore my hand up pretty good the other day tryna do things without neccessary tools. Trying to just strong arm it when sometimes....that just don't work. At least when you doon;t know shortcuts AND don't have tools. Either way, thank God I had a buddy with more tools than I did, plus an impact. So we zizzed everything off pretty quick. original inner tie rod and CAUSE OF the issue was me. My error. 100%. In GA before we left I didn't check to see if i had the cotter pins in everything, and the 5/8 OD castle nut on the center link/inner tie rod vibrated loose i guess. I heard a big pop on the ride up and noticed the tie rod out in NC. So we made it here, i parked it and been trying to figure things out since. FF to today.... Popped the outer tie-rod off with the pittsburgh tie rod separator for 12.99(s/o to harbor freight) no prob. Go figure, when you got the tools.... ooooooweeee.. So took it inside out of the cold after measuring the RF to get it close. Got it lined, couple of turns once back out there and thawed out and it popped right in. So heres some pics and footage to share. Any questions or comments, hit me.

Welp..... i share the good, ill share the bad. I don't have the tools i need, so the job is a bit harder. But, itll get done, more finesse and willpower mixed with not quitting, we'll get it figured...i pray, lol. Been fighting with getting an inner tie rod in on the driver side. I'm at the juncture where I believe I'm going to have to take the whole thing out, set it, put it back in. I've just caught a time yesterday and today but the asswhooping my 87 gave me today paved the way for me to I BELIEVE figure out how to set it properly and get it all back in. And that is by taking the entire inner/outer off, setting the distance in the adjusting sleeve there and putting it back in. The right way to do it. Gotta go rent a press i guess to get the other side off She's whooping my ass today, yall. Ain't gon lie. Wish i was where i was in the photo below. Wouldn't have these problems working on the ground and lack of neccessary tools. Shared the middle pic, all the stuff replaced. The last pic is how my tie rod sat for 630mi. Any tips, thoughts or suggestions

I feel your pain. I'm in central PA and its not snowed 1x.... til i got the 87 here. Snowed 1st, 4th day. 2 more times after also since she arrived here in PA. So I'll be wiping the undercarriage with trans fluid til i can sand and seal the frame and all that up properly. Just enough to get me through winter with the trans fluid protection.
