Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Anyone have a hookup on some firewood in the Santa Cruz area? Looking to grab some before heading out to wawona on the 6th.

 

Good to hear he is going to be alright. Ted is an awsome dude. I have met him a few times and his dog. I hope for a speedy recovery.

 

Glad to hear Teds gonna pull through. Makes all other activities seen so trivial when someone you know has a brush with death.

So..... here's some trivia. While on my photo safari we were 98% confined to vehicles. What were those vehicles? They were highly modified diesel engine Toyota Land Cruisers. They really needed a set of those Kings shocks, though. Lot of washboard type roads in the savannah.

 

I'm just down the street from them. let me know what I can do to help. I'm not above bringing some premade casseroles that they just need to throw in the oven or something

And of course, if the wife/gf is away, the OTPHJ. If he can handle it.

 

Couple poser pics from shake down run this past weekend.

 

Let me talk to my FIL, he has a ton and should be willing to let some go, but need to check first.

 

Darwin occasionally lets us down....

WTF

 

Think I found the popping!

I was gonna start disassembly today but had an idea before I started to take off torque on the lca bolts. As soon as I barely broke torque the cam tab rotated I then snugged it and tried to get the popping sound to come back and it's gone. So some how my lca was binding on the driver side. Still going to switch out the bushings and beef it up but at least I know where the pop was coming from. It was definitely getting worse too I was hearing it on every hard corner on the way to downieville and feeling it through the pedals

 

so whoever did your alignment last didn't tighten it enough?

 

Sigh. Replaced my rear diff, got one axle shaft in no problems, the other side I realized I'd forgot to check the axle seal, pull it back out, O ring is sheared. FML. Don't have time to go grab a new one today, guess I'm taking the bike in. Will try again tomorrow.

Yeah, that must have been what was making all that noise. Probably could have got another 50k miles on it, but decided I wanted a quieter ride.

 

That box appears to be EAF.

 

Awesome, will have cash or beer in hand.

 

Processing photos all day today. Here's one of three lion cubs feasting on a zebra. The one to the far left was late to the party.

 

That's awesome!

 

In for the National Geographic bewb pictures

 

In before NorCal Safari Pics and BS Thread complaints!

Sweet pics Don, looks like a lifetime bucket list trip. A bit surprised you went to Africa and didn't hunt, though.

 

Just touched down in Maui a little while ago, and damn that mfkn tiny wheel/super lift Tacoma style is everywhere!!! Also saw a lot of nicely built ones, and I've only driven to the condo from the airport so far lol

 

there everywhere.

 

I want to go back. my neighbor is in Maui right now as well.
