New Mexico Owners BS Thread

you paint the shell or is that a different one?

 

unboxed 'em. Now I just need to make time to install everything.

 

I had it painted to match. I also got that pesky speedo all taken care of.. this thing is dead nuts from 5 mph all the way up to 80... on the nose with the GPS to the digit.

I'll update the build tomorrow.

BTW, those Kings are looking pretty fresh. Time to get them on the FJC.

 

BTW, I have given more lunchtime rides at work in the last month than I have in the prior 5 years.

 

Lunchtime "rides" you say? Hmm...

 

Did I mention I get compliments on the suicide doors every time?

 

Oh, and did you get to the wideband yet?

 

Nice!

If I can swap out the coils tomorrow, I may do the shocks and C/Os on Sunday. The rest of it the 8th or 9th. Damn cottonwood has picked up where juniper left off so I may be down for the next month.

 

I may call my allergist and see about a shot of kenalog. Nothing else is working right now.

 

No, you didn't. Has anyone tried to jump from the vehicle while in motion?

I have it sitting in a box, but it hasn't found it's way onto the truck. I have to pull down the front cat pipe to weld in the bung.

Aye carumba, you should have your nostrils sewn shut for a few months each year. I'm working this weekend, but might have some time next week/weekend to lend a hand... (with installing parts, not sewing your nose shut).

 

I will say, finally buying a stand-alone HEPA filter has been amazing. Problem is, I'm stuck in the apartment then. Hmmm, I could run it in the garage for awhile...

 

Maybe try wearing a respirator when outdoors? Talk like Darth Vader to spice it up.

 

I have to talk to Scott about that. I'm getting one for when I'm sanding and painting the sliders. I think he has a good understanding of the different levels of filteration. I'm not effing around with my lungs anymore. Couldn't stop coughing yesterday. Had to keep joking about the Consumption (even though it isn't a laughing matter) and being a huckleberry to keep my humour.

 

So... did you get your bunny costume on and do some wrenching today?

 

pics coming. in the midst of rears

 

Good to hear... You have made me proud.

 

you said "bunny suit". That made me giggle.

 

EASTER bunny...

Mind out of the gutter, and back to work!

 

GAH! So that's what's getting to me. Guess the warm weather has them coming out a little sooner that usual.

 

Wait, wut?

I was talking about a hazmat suit. Which you'll get a giggle out of since I toted my $350 HEPA filter down to the garage so I could do something on the FJ and not die at the same time.
