Alabama thread!

The whoops are harder than the jumps since you're pounding into the next incline. It's not as entertaining tho I agree.

 

Not this again

 

Didn’t get any video of that, those were mostly unplanned. Appeared right after curves going like 50

 

Hey @stronghammer I may have 2-3 beds available in cabin #2 at Harlan. I wont post it in that thread cuz I dont know a lot of those guys yet. Just throwing it out there if you have a want / need.

 

hmmmmm. I have my RTT....but that is tempting. cost?

 

cool, should be $20-$30 / night PP max. the cabin has 4 sets of bunks, and is $90 / night plus tax, tag, title and all that shit. we can rent the shower out too, $10 / 10 minutes

 

lmao there are public showers/shitters. I think I'll just end up saving my money and RTT'ing it for the weekend. I want to test out my new tent anyways, but you may get an Alabamian to take you up on the offer.

 

no worries, yeah, forgot about the public showers

 

You guys can share a shower and split the cost.

Could either save half that allotment or just take twice as many showers.

 

I always double up in the shower when camping

 

@jmaack how did you like onshape

 

Stickers are on! Don’t worry I cleaned the inlays for them super well before I put them on so they would stay on

 

I might take you up on it if you don't mind. Might need a day or two to get a hard commitment though.

 

Let me know. Might have 1 bed left

 

Shit forgot to respond earlier.

Not too bad. Similar to pro e and other cad softwares, missing some of the features i was last used to but they might have gotten rid of them for something else.

My main issue is not being able to enter a line dimension or rectangle when drawing, oh and cutting, snapping etc. Maybe i just didnt get enough in to it. Going to get some drawings from work and see if i can replicate or just measure something out and try and draw.

All in all for a free light version not bad, might upgrade to professional if i find i really like it.

 

I don’t think you can make rectangles in it, but you can give a line dimensions. It’d be pretty difficult to do cad without being able to make dimensions

 

So I got the LR UCA shipped and installed and man what a difference those make. Drives like a totally different truck, I appreciate the feedback.

And of course since when it rains it pours, my 3 driveshaft U Joints I just had replaced in January have now gone out again and I have horrible screaching and vibrations in the driveshaft. Shop I had install them is a Napa Autocare shop and so the parts have a 24 month/24,000 mile warranty, so I'm getting them replaced for free under that warranty at a new shop (just moved to Atlanta).

The original shop replaced OEM ujoints with Moog ujoints, assuring me they were of good quality (not sure if I got a faulty batch or if they are just poor quality after going out after only 10,000 miles).

New shop that is doing warranty work is not a fan of Moog and wants to put Toyota factory Ujoints in, but not sure if Napa will play along under warranty, since Toyota ujoints would not be Napa parts and would be straight from Toyota.

My question to you all is:
1. Is there another brand ujoint that this shop's Napa supplier would have access to, besides Moog, that would be better quality (and under warranty)?
2. worth it to just pony up, no matter what, and go with OEM ujoints?
3. greasable vs. nongreasable ujoints? pros/cons?

TIA

 

Do greasable, definitely.

Timken makes good stuff. Assuming they probably have driveshaft ujoints. See if you can find some.

But if you got the cash, may be worth not second guessing and just forking for OEM. But, those may very well be rebranded and marked up Timkens or something else. Lol
