NW WA Meet / BS Thread

My power was out from 4-8ish this morning

 

I was up at 1:00 making the kid a bottle when ours went out.

 

Yes we got him out. Little body damage on the back passenger door and a broken front passenger CV grenaded. My winch solinoids are toast, which I'm replacing today, so is wasn't much help to make an easy rescue. Ended up running a snatch block and then some bubba rope to yard him out backwards.

 

Whats the word turds?

 

I decided to work

 

I decided to leave work

 

So now what

 

A fella in the GX group texted him. Said he blew the R&P as well.

Spendy night.

 

Damn. He must be locked up front too. Surprised he didn't bend a tie rod

 

Front end was definitely making a racket. The CV was most obvious to me at the time.

 

Arb f/r. Rig is setup nice.

 

I picked up a fifth of fireball on my way home....sooooo there's that

 

I'll be there in 5min

 

So, any ideas would be awesome.

My alignment is fine every time I go in. Pulls to the right consistently... I have 4wd engaged right now... And I drive straight as a fucking arrow. Wtf?

 

It's the alignment. It can be within spec and still pull based on the type of tire your running. That'd normal. As long as it doesn't pull hard and instant to one side your within spec. They can adjust your castor but then you won't get optimal tire wear.

 

Again tomorrow?

 

Sorry fellas. I lost power at four this morning and had to round up my dogs because the branches smashed up my fence in the back yard. Still dont have power yet. Currently hanging out at work but I'm game for Tuesday.

 

My front runner rack and weather techs should be here wednesday.

Right front wheel warm? Having it in 4wd could cover up a dragging caliper.

 

Changed brake pads since it started happening... Tires rotated. Ah well. Makes me stay focused on long drives I guess

 

You probably would have noticed a seizing caliper when you went to get the new pads in, but maybe not. Could be worth looking into.

A dead give away would be if it stopped pulling while braking. Or, of course, the warm wheel. Not pulling in 4wd screams brake issue to me.
