Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

A bad wheel bearing....lol. Destroyed one of the rear bearings. Fronts are still good, for now....

 

It's easy to install and my truck haven't blown up yet like some of those guys predicted. Hardest part was figuring out the fan shroud part. Make sure you double check your bolts and retighten as needed because they will become loose.

 

They usually do unless I have all three, which is rare. I had my back seat out for a while in the 1st gen and it was great. Plenty of space for two dogs.

The new truck is going to take some thought. Might make some sort of folding platform to put in place of the back seat when I need to.

 

Haha, so you're going to take a Chance!

 

What's the best thread for organizing drives? I am interested in a Mendo run.

 

Not me, but I seen him a couple times when id be leaving the marina. Hes definitely on here somewhere tho.

Check it out. Making gasoline from CO2...

Guy was in the shop today that works for the company. Should see stuff in March. If this really works, fuel could be cheaper. As far as distribution, he says it can be produced at the head or at the station. Stored and pumped just like gasoline. Octane rating is expected to be between 95-98 too.
It's not reducing the amount of C02 in the atmosphere, just not adding more.

I'm curious to see how it pans out.

 

I put one in my truck and never pulled it out. I'm thinking about gutting the entire second row and building a better platform with more space for tools and equipment underneath.

I very rarely come into a situation where someone needs to sit in the back of the truck, the seats are so small that most people would rather Uber.

 

We should have a platform build day. I'm going to lose my 2 twelves in the back and go for a 6. Those little burgers are actually pretty impressive. Then want to build a platform for my pup for the back. Folding would be cool, but I'd be happy with something sturdy in general.

Gonna have to be. My doggos an 80lb bitch.

 

"Lets See Your Dogs" thread has had several members share their versions of a dog platform/storage bin. Do a search and you'll find them.

 

Anyone know a good affordable fab shop in the east bay(concord) or close. I want to get swingout made or see what it would cost. Looks like I can order one from 4xinnovation for about $600 plus shipping. That seems really high but if it’s about what a fab shop will charge me then maybe I’ll just order it up.

Or another member want to help me build one? Lol

 

That’s really cool. As the price of fossil fuels go up this will become more and more viable IMo.

 

I bought my All Pro from @ffdawson on here years back, he had a shop in Santa Rosa fab on a swingout with table and rotopax Mount. only thing done to it since was some @Bentrodder gussets and extra plates on the hinge side apparently. Since I bought it used, I don’t know who did what work. But I’ve heard good things about Yoda Man in SR and the bumper has held up great.

 

I'll throw this out here... Before I go make an order.

Anyone have a set of 2 LUG CENTRIC wheel spacers (1.25 inch) they want to off load? I'm running Spidertrax at all 4 right now, but hub centric is not going to work for me when I do my 4x swap with manual hubs.

I have no problem paying, but would rather not drop another 100 bucks on another set of wheel spacers.

 

Just an FYI, I ran spidertrax spacers with my manual hubs. Didn't cause an issue with the fitment.

 

Really? Well shit, maybe I need to actually measure this... Lol

 

Great prank.
