DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Wait till they offer free air pressure checks

 

Is that the step sister?

 

You can ride with me but I like this idea

 

The Makita he has is pretty badass, had to borrow it to get that 14 bolt out of the junkyard

 

Either should work for lugs, but the higher torque offerings are much better tools and have brushless motors. I have a good deal on a Milwaukee right now. What brand tools do you have?

 

Dewalt, and I’m thinking about getting the battery adapter so I can use the new batteries with my existing 18v drill and 1/4” impact.

Both of these say they’re brushless.



I have a fair amount of Amazon money, so I’m finally able to buy one.

 

Hahahahaha

Asking the important questions.

Sooooo barnwell day trip?

 

Would any of you guys be interested in some mirrors like these???

 

Got a Florida trip this summer. Say I'm leaving Houston early morning time frame. Where would a good place be to stop for lunch? I'll be somewhere in Louisiana taking I-10. Lake Charles and Lafayette seem to be pretty skimpy on restaurants near the highway (save for McD's ). Baton Rouge may be a little far to be getting lunch? @jbmccul @hoarder23

 

Lafayette...

Looks like you have Blue Dog Cafe, Zea Rotisserie & Bar, Olde Tyme Grocery all somewhat close to I10 that all have really great reviews on Google.

I use Google for my travels and so far, it has not let me down... I also contribute as well...

Honestly... I would check out Olde Tyme Grocery if it was me for a good ole po' boy sandwich...

 

Yeah, google was my first stop. It's going to be a long day, so my wife may decide those are too far off the highway. Chris' Po-boys could be in the running or Billy's or Don's on the west side. I am also going to have a 5 y/o to feed which may sway the options as well.

Ugh, guess it's McD's

 

Any of you fine fellers have the needle bearing tool? Looks like I’ll be picking up a lift this weekend.

Still need to get the ECGS bushing and an AAL

 

@ragincajun35 can provide some insight, he spent some time round those parts and is now a Houston resident

Zea's is a mediocre chain, don't know about the other two.

 

I spy a 3 leg truck thanks to a facebook post

From Texas Overland

 

I still have the puller and bushing driver needed. I'd also recommend a seal puller and a magnetic tool.

 

This is becoming a “sponsored by Jim’s garage” build

 

Someone just needs to have a nice shop that people can use on the weekend as long as it is not abused...

Lol.

 

If I could find some decently priced land id build a shop I need one soooo bad!

 

That is my 5 year goal... but I doubt anyone would want to drive to Tyler to come work in a A/C'd shop that has a good two-post lift in it, TV, couch, etc etc....
