Northern Virginia Roll Call

That is hilarious!!!!

 

Got my rear shock relocate done, carrier bearing shims, recut recut cab mount and trim flares done today and still have a weird noise on takeoff that sounds like a tire rubbing...i dont get it.

 

Everytime from a dead stop?

 

Just under hard accel from about 5-15mph

 

That thing is ridiculous.

Hold the can closer.

Is the rearend squatting and rubbing?

 

Tires are clearing your rear shocks right? The ford mounts look like they push the shock away from the bed a bit more than stock.

 

Nope, i even had a buddy launch it and saw it wasn't rubbing. And flexed it out and it didnt touch

 

Yep, i cut the brackets and pushed them back so they have a several inches of clearance

 

As am I.

 

Sorry guys... Been really busy today, and I'm skipping the previous several pages of messages. If I missed anything critical, somebody catch me up...

One thing I got done was the new work surface on my workbench.

Before:


After:

 

Did you make that or buy a slab? It looks awesome

 

Thanks! Bought it. It's a builder grade butcher block countertop from Lumber Liquidators.

That things almost too nice looking to be a workbench top.

 

If you look closely, you might change your mind. It has a few flaws, but I wanted something tough enough for the bench vise that will eventually get mounted there.

Anyone wanna by me this for my birthday? (Hint hint @Superman910 and @Cody23)

 

I did have that rack and I won’t be buying another. If I do a bed rack, I am leaning towards the Tacomapocolyspe rack.

Fact. When you have a self-admitted powder coating problem, why would you only send out replacement pieces for the bubbled up parts? Why not replace the entire rack?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an amazing rack and the best price on the market and as long as they got that coating issue fixed, I would probably buy another.

 

The top of my reloading bench is 2 layers of 3/4" plywood that are glued and screwed.

 

Wait what?

You will or you won't

So confused

 

Your burned this bridge jerk face....get you a box for your birthday...more cardboard for your bumper.

 

I understand. You know what they say about punching horses in the mouth - something about presents
