The Florida Panhandle and Surrounding Area Tacos Thread Thing

There's a Firestone on Hurlburt that two of them use. While I was in Destin, I used Goodyear.

 

Awesome thank you. On my way to firestone

 

Are you allowed to camp where ever you want on the Eglin range? Like just find a random ass spot in the middle of nowhere and pitch a tent? I'd imagine not, but I'd love to if able.

 

any suggestions on housing down there? (around Eglin)

Well guys, I got my lift installed! My front lift at least. My AAL won't get here until Monday and I was too impatient to wait so I could do it all at once. Bro lean FTW. I've got 5100s all around and 885s in the front. Everything went smoothly except for one thing. I was trying to do it right and torque everything to spec, and ended up breaking the bolt that holds the strut into the LCA because we torqued it down too hard. Not really sure what happened since we had the torque wrench set to the proper setting. Oh well! I've got a new one ordered through the dealer and it'll get here on Tuesday. Until then I just picked up a same size bolt from Home Depot.

 

Lookin' good. Sure was a nice day to do some outside work...I've been stuck inside doing my Bathroom

 

Hell yeah it was! I got a bit of sun myself.

 

I'm gonna try to make the most of it tomorrow haha

 

Blowin shit up tomorrow in Blountstown . Otherwise I'd be doing my dakars

 

Now that sounds like a day! Lol I just hope to have a little bit of free Tims. Forgot I still have that truck to finish

 

you gonna come out this way and do em? I got the motor that the fly wheel needs to be bolted back on and I need the hobby shop for the impact gun. No idea of how long it'll take me to get everything else put back together lol

 

New to the area guys... Met alfuh last week sometime and finally found the right thread lol... I'd love to get together and see what some of you guys have done to your rigs... Oh and I need a fabricator for a front bumper...

 

FML we're stuck in this trail cause everybody else stuck and blocking the way out

 

Wait....are you really there at 4am?

 

@YotaOverAll where you at lol?

@Totalchaos06 lots of good choices. SOS, pelfreybilt, IF, I'm sure I'm missing lots.

Also, I may try to do my Dakar leafs today. I have a 3ton floor jack just need to get the courage to do the shit in my driveway.

 

It wasn't too bad. But I had help. Damn things are 70 pounds a piece. If I can do it as a non handy mofo you can do it with your eyes closed. I used this video as a guide. You probably know the process but watch how he actually gets the Dakars installed by himself. He slides them towards the front of the truck and then lifts it onto the axle. Have fun.

 

Bout time you showed up lol, we do need to do another meetup eventually. Eddy at SOS Offroad concepts makes some awesome stuff. But there's not really anone I know of that is in the local area that builds bumpers

 

Did my Dakars by myself, you got this. I did use a floor jack and a bottle jack to manipulate them. Might be able to use the factory jack in a pinch.

 

When it's their time, it's their time.

I was installing a generator on one of our 737's the other night. Hung that 75 lb faka all by myself, inspector watched me torque the mounting bolts. Go to install the nuts on the ring terminal studs...20 inch lbs...snap. #@*$! Pull the generator, send it back out.
