Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Yeah. And the government lets me write off 5k tax free. Lucky me.

 

Dam daycare is crazy high now days. This is why we stopped at one. The plan was to have more and my wife was oing to open a daycare. after the baby was born plan changed quick.

 

Yeah wife and i will have another one soon. Idk how we will afford daycare for two. Still working it out.

 

2nd and 3rd gen are kinda similar when it comes to suspension. When I switched to 35's, I cycled my suspension to make sure I had cut enough and not hitting the fender well. Just take out the struts and then cycle and see where it hits and then cut...don't ask how I know
Also, watch out for your CV boots and make sure they aren't rubbing on each grove. If so, you went too high on a lift.
Two other things I did to fit 35's besides BFH were: put quarter inch spacers under bumpstops to limit up travel and installed 1'' body lift. Hope this helps.

 

wish you luck, as all others do you will make it work. Just means cuts were you may not want to. As long as your happy its all that matters. We started with shit jobs and zero college ed. we made things work and worked hard to get were we are. Im proud to have raised a great kid. I hope he will be better then me in many ways. My son has made me a better person by just me wanting to be better as a role model for him.
Ive finished high school at age 30, I went through a 5 yr apprenticeship, and taking night classes all to better myself. and in my mid 40s I still keep taking classes and apply for better jobs/ promotions. I want him to see that hard work pays off.
You are a great guy, Im sure you will raise great kids. Nick if you want more kids do it sooner then later. There is always a way to make things work.

 

bumps will need more if you don't do the body lift like he did. chop chop.
Also Im pretty sure i saw your truck on sunday. Nice looking truck.
Just buy a beater 4x4 and keep it look nice. trust me, once you start wheeling it it will never be the same.

 

Good man. I too am trying to provide my twins (boy and girl) a better life than I did as a kid. The plan was 1 and done, but we got a surprise at the sonogram. That's why I got a second job and doubled my rate for that work. No sleep but it is no longer about me now that I am a father.

This is the first year I am paying taxes for my side business as an independent ecological consultant. I've been throwing 40% of each check in savings for taxes. Because my work involves private reserves with small, cutsy, and old unmaintained roads (basically two tire ruts) through open land, rolling hills, etc.. I am going to try to write off all my truck purchases such as new wheels, tires, suspension, winch, bumpers, and so on. It is my work vehicle being upgraded for the terrain I drive through for my side projects so I figure it's appropriate to write it off

Sounds legit right?

Next year if all goes well I will be writing off sliders, skids, and who knows what else.

 

I like your style . It will go fine just keep,them receipts in your tax file. and long your mileage in a journal for work travel with gas and maintenance receipts.. This one used to be my big saver when i was an electrician. Now im struggling to find write offs. need a new business.

 

Ok... Swap is near completion. Filling the trans now. When I go to put it in park, there is a grinding sound. What does that mean? Hopefully someone knows the answer, that is still awake.

 

I do it so my kid can spell better than i do

.

 

He has probably already passed you on that score.

 

From what I've read on this thread I am guessing you succeeded. I bet your son is already writing with pencils and pens too , not green crayons like his pops.



Or ?

 

Spotted some 3rd gens

 

Ok... Disregard... I was doin it wrong. Gonna have to learn the art of the twin stick. All is good.

I'VE GOT 4X4 MUTHAFUKAS!

 

never have I found this avatar more appropriate

don't forget to update your Vehicle description to "4x4 MOTHAFUCKAS" and remove the prerunner.

seriously .. very impressed and congratulations.

 

Yeah I remember that shock too. I had two kids in childcare at one point...

 

I say he just adds 4x4 after Prerunner.

 

Damn, in my line of work those that transport logs to the mill we like to call the special. I leave crayons in our ticket box and label them trucker snacks. I've seen truckin fuckers and then fuckin truckers. The latter being those labeled special.

 

"Prerunner 4x4 MUTHAFUCKAS!"

 

Definitely add the MUTHAFUCKAS too
