New England B.S. Thread

No dice - haven't left the house yet. I woke up this morning at 6am to start painting the truck's latest additions (Gas tank skid and LCA skid). Finished primer on both sides and bed coating on one side. Going to let it dry for the rest of the weekend and then spray the otherside monday. Halfway through the day I said fuck it and pulled the front grille off to paint.. only to realize now I'm stuck waiting until it dries and I still have 2/3 more coats left.

The bed works wonders as a dustless drying chamber though!

If anyone is around tomorrow morning (10am) @DoubleRGirl @yazmatic and myself might explore some trails in south-eastern MA... Shoot me a message - the trails are apparently on the easier side, it might just turn into a photoshoot if the trails are too short.

 

Thanks nick. I ended up renting a spring compressor from autozone that worked relatively well

 

Anyone ever thought of putting a push-style electric fan on their AC Condensor? When I'm in traffic, or when I'm off roading my AC is horrible, its been vacuumed and recharged within the last month and its not leaking...

 

My 05 was the same way. I never did anything to fix it though.

 

Nope I just get suckered into helping him put the lift in.

 

Lift coils I forget what size or brand but I'll find out. I installed them 2 years ago when I lived in stoughton.

 

Morning all. I really wanted to sleep in today. My kids had other plans for me though

 

Same here

 

Ahhh, that much easier for me to spot you now

 

Morning. I got up early just to enjoy a quiet house to myself. Teenage daughter went to grandma's house and wifey is spending the weekend in NH as a girls weekend away.

 

Lucky bastard!

 

I feel ya. Been up since 5

 

Ha that's true. Going to build a fairing for it soon, and a drop in.basket for the front portion of the rack to increase storage even more. No way im paying $400+ for a little basket that drops into the front part of the roof rack.

 

I am up early everyday so sleeping on til 6 on Sundays is awesome.

 

Seen the baskets used for sale on Craigslist for like 100$ before. Name brand ones too.

 

Yep, add me to that list also. The little one was up damn near all night, he finally went to sleep around 4 and the older one woke up at 6.

 

Fellas & Gal,

I posted this in the guns & hunting area but know some of you shoot. Thoughts?

I shoot at a fish & game club that I belong to and they have a dirt pile as a backstop. Last time I went plinking with my 22, I noticed ricocheting and (obviously) stopped. I was about 50 yards out. So what are you guys that shoot on "raw" land using for backstops? I though about making a stop out of stacked 4x4 wood posts with a downward angle of 30 degrees and then attaching my target holder to the front of that.

 

How was the bday

 

All the generic ones are too big. Going to make one that sits below the rails like this so I can store stuff under the carrier too.

Old colony uses huge piles of the extra rubber from boot soles. They were free/cheap and work awesome.
