New England B.S. Thread

5.74" of rain in EB, most in the area.

Wind driven rain meant my roof leaked in a bunch of places. I'm hoping it was a fluke and I don't need a roof but we will see I guess. I'm lucky in that nothing damaged the house or my truck otherwise. Wife and I split up and went to our respective parents' houses because they have power.

The house was 64 when I left this morning, so the stove did its job overnight but I ran through my wood. I'll have to find some today.

 

Only street in my neighborhood with power. Like 80% of town no power

Huge tree in my yard and neighbors fell. Talked to someone a street away they said it’s gunna be days without power per the power company.

 

How are the temps? Hope they are atleast above freezing.

 

Same here. More than 90% without power. Trees down everywhere across town.

 

Little snow we had cleared itself with morning sun.
I'm the odd guy in the neighborhood - always park my cars away from each other in a wind event.....
Across the street, hunk of tree leaning on the front of their house.
Two doors down, neighbors tree draped across the nose of their Ford work van & Cadillac SUV.

I learned, never park all the cars together under the same tree!

Morning everyone.

 

We've got a giant limb laying across the 3phase in front of the house. Still have power, 3 phase stayed intact so far. Eversource guy was out last night to check it out at like 1030, said they would get to it after outages are restored. So long the power stays on it can stay.

 

I mentioned springfield as its a more easy place to meet off 91, I'm not a fan of that city either but a lot better then driving into Boston on a Saturday.

 

But Boston has more to do, while less chance of being shot.

 

7 draws full of taps and not a single m15.

 

Seems about right. Thanks for checking!

 

@tacobell007 why do you need a m15 Tap? Might have one at the farm if you can wait until I shake my hangover tomorrow lol

 

Making tie rod end extensions for @emelianenkov

 

I’ll poke around there tomorrow, after Ging takes me out for my bday breakfast that is haha

 

Nice sounds good! I appreciate it man!

 

Your bday today or tomorrow?

edit: found it. Happy early Birthday!

 

Well spent the day test fitting the 285's and cutting/trimming/hammering the inner fender area to make the front fit... At about 5 degrees away from full lock either way I rub the cab mount chop that I did. Here's the aftermath...

Also discovered why my LED bar stopped working - it was a corroded connection that was intermittent.

Specs of the wheels:
285/75/16 Cooper ST Maxx
Rims are Pro Comp Series 51 in Gloss Black 16x8 with 4.25 inches of backspacing
I'm on the fence about these rims - they don't fit without the spacers (they hit the calipers) which explains why they stick out so much... But I already have a set of 5 with the matching tires.... They were a bitch to balance though...

 

Looks good! They don't seem to stick out a ton like I thought they might

 

I didn't have to do that much to get my tires to fit. I also had ST Maxx 285/75r16 on 16x8 0mm (4.5 bs) rims. I have about a 3" lift though.

Before that, I had 305/60r18 on 18x9 0mm rims.

 

Jason's got the lift (super nice one too!). Sounds like he's got a wheel fitment problem.

 

I always have shit luck because I run weird rims... Same with my evo...

I have a fund going for some scs rims but I'm also itching for the high clearance rear.....
