AZ BS Thread 4²0

Wtf . The cold be cleaned and given to poor AZBS Tacoma owners so they could have more money for truck parts . what a wasted opportunity to do some good for poeple with truck addiction .

 

Yep

 

Sweet. Pondering pulling an @0uTkAsT to get into a 4x4 DCLB. Pondering what all I can carryover

 

I don't think your skids will carry over......

 

Going to think it over until Labor Day or so

 

Finally have all 5 wheels! UPS is a complete cluster fuck! Only took two trips due to another UPS error!

 

hahah more fun for you when you’re not writing that check lol

 

Or go to breakfast with @JTS2016TACO then visit the dealership.

 

So there I was, about to change the oil. Neighborhood kid who’s always asking about trucks rides up on his bike, asks me what I’m doing. Tell him going to change the oils asks me to show him how.
<zach Morris time-out> now this kid is a good kid, but dad doesn’t know much about vehicles, so kid is always asking me. Kid is about 15, figured I’d do him a solid and run him through it. </time-out>
So I take him though it real fast. It’s easy stuff. Get him adding the oil. 3 qts in, he’s like “hey Rob, this plastic ribs fell in”.

Wtf? What plastic ring?

“The seal ring for the lid. It fell into the funnel (fat funnel, not a skinny one), and the. I saw it go in the hole.”

Sweating bullets. Get iPhone flashlight can’t see shit in the hole. Go find a real flashlight, find a step stool to stand on (very @MaverickTRD-ish). Look again, can’t find shit. Figure I have to pull the oil pan. Fuck, gotta pull skids. Get the light and look again, can’t see it


Fuckkkkkkk.

Kid is sweating. Bullets.

Tell him to go get me a beer and let’s take a break so I can think it through.

Drink beer.

“You sure it went in there, and didn’t fall into engine compartment??”

“Yeah, it went with the flow of the oil”

Grab the funnel to throw it.

See ring inside the funnel.

Thanks jackass!

 

At least you got down that extra needed beer to think to look in the funnel!

 

It’s time out then time in.

 

Ghost Loco and work truck.

 

Next oil change at Rob's house Zach stops by before he can ask what's going on Rob says "get the fuck away from my truck before I shove a funnel up your ass"

 

Table is almost done. Need more practice.

 

Nah this will be rob next time:

 

And a grinder . Welders best friend .

 

Rob, you're a good dude man.that kid just learned 100x what either of you thought he would, and he will never ever make that mistake again.

Would have been a valve cover pull worst case.

 

12.5 more hours of work tonight and I wont have to worry about it for 12 days... I dig it.

 

Have the gear ready to do a evening/night hike at S. Mtn. For some reason all motivation has left. A burger from Wilderness brewery sounds like a better plan!

 

Will do. I think once done with this if I could get some pieces were I have a longer bead I would get a better sense of moving it. Plus this table I am using to build on in the shop is like 48 inches. That is almost as tall as me, lol. It is a pain right now. #shortlife
