Amocat Adventures & Build

Meh. I'm just getting bored I guess. Wanted to something productive that wasn't school work

 

Ahould have hit up jerry... he has the new way to get them off

 

Do I dare ask? Cause I'm not about to tac weld a socket on there. My luck the truck will catch fire.

 

Nope. He has an air hammer...

 

... ehhh. That horrible moment when you realize your math was slightly off..

 

Your Mathing is wrong.

 

I've fit that much on stock springs.

She rode great.

I drove slow because she didn't quite want to stop.

 

Hahahaha... there were bad noises. And it did not like the use of a break pedal... at anything above 25mph.

That's 2083.2 lbs of stone. .... 380 some pounds over weight...Not counting my daily gear, myself at 190lbs and Mongo who's 200 some pounds.

 

Have no fear it was purchased at Home Depot.

 

Very. I lacked proper coffee consumption that morning.

Took four of us to count the pallet before we loaded it. Still some how managed to have 93 bricks instead of 92...

Homer I owe ya 1.89

 

Anyone have any other manufacture recommendation for wheels? I'm a bit pissed off at scs right now.

 

Why's that? Lead time? Their wheels are beautiful... Had I not gotten the deal I did on my current setup I would have been all over those...

 

Well, they apparently allow cart swiping soooo, I had already gone through to paypal with 4 in my cart, went back to the page to click complete order and my cart dropped from 3 wheels directly to 1 wheel. I watched it happened and canceled the order. Whats the point in buying one single wheel?

I've been going back and forth since March with them, they don't take back orders or anything. Their last shipment was delayed and sea and the lead time doesn't seem incredibly ...scheduled. It could be 2 months, it could be 1 month, maybe 4 months. At this point it isn't worth the frustration of watching wheels that I had in my cart, it was worse then fucking black Friday at a Walmart. But ya know, if some one cart swiped me at walmart, at least I could beat the shit out of them, and put my item back in my cart.

I deal with this shit for patches... thats different. I expected a bit more. That's my fault I guess.

So, now I gotta figure out a whole new plan, because I can't wait any longer on tires. And i can't wait any longer to get the spline fixed.

 

Understood.
Sorry you've had such a tough run of luck with the parts.

Moto Metal and KMC make a wide variety of wheels... I've run both with great results. What were the size specs that you decided on?
I'd be happy to cast a net & see what I can catch for ya.

 

Meh. I'm just overly frustrated. It's been a shit week and I was looking forward to this. Graduation present to myself kinda thing.

I was aiming for the 17's. Planned on keeping the tires at 285/70/17

I'm running motometals on the truck now. Don't like how quickly they deteriorated.

And at this point I'm just venting.
Time for me to sign off before I go all angry n stuff

 

Who is it that does the cart stealing, because to me thats stealing from your cart. FTMF

 

It's the way the site is coded. That you've already submitted payment and then you get re directed back to shipping. At that point your order should be secured. You just have to confirm shipping and it's done.

Laymans version. I already swiped my card at the register, I just have to say I'm gonna wheel it out in the cart and load it in my truck.

But instead after I've payed, it's fair game for someone to steal the cart, pay for it and load it into their truck, because I didn't get to my truck fast enough.
And I walk away money still in hand with no product.

 

The supper shitty part is when I've planned ahead financially and it gets pushed back and pushed back and instead of buying the wheels two three months ago, and spacing bills out. Tonight I basically had to shuffle shit around because my tuition bill needed to be payed tonight. It's technically over due, but they don't apply the college employee discounts until the end of the semester. In my case, if I didn't pay tonight there's a chance they wouldn't let me walk next week.

 

But. What ever. I'm going to bed. Blood pressures starting to boil.
