geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Do it man! I got a whiteboard actually. It's nice but I usually update my phone immediately when I think of something else I need to do. It's just convenient.

Whiteboard will get larger projects with the finer details I think. I might actually need a bigger whiteboard haha time will tell and I can update as needed.

 

I have this big catalog from a whiteboard vendor I snatched from work. I agree. So handy.

 

Helps to visualize better then it's not a screen etc

 

Right on! Then you can just take a pic of the white board with your phone.

 

TW dad aka Randall is going to be PISSED:



Honestly, glad I removed it and kept it around. The swingout before it was removed was wonky as FUCK. The powdercoater must have lost hinge pieces. Basically I fabbed my own washer to fit the 1" hinge pin. Greased the loss out of everything and the swingout operates MUCH better now than ever before. Simple DIY fix and I'm STOKED. I need to fix the hinge pin using some grease since it doesn't snap into place anymore.

Good deal. Going with marlin crawlers solution instead?

My unsolicited .02 on the matter is that he may take forever to actually release it, going off his track record. He also stated that the TC ones will fit if you just shave them down to make them a little narrower. I'd install the TC ones and then add his whenever they get released.

 

I can technically sell my OEM replacement LCAs and use the money elsewhere.. TECHNICALLY

 

Like on a welder??

 

"TECHNICALLY"

 

It’d pay for itself vs paying someone else really quick!!

 

For sure man. Shit is starting to die down with the house although there is still stuff to do. Really looking forward to the future!

Something is have always wanted to learn and it's becoming more of a need now...

 

Got some more things off the list today. 3pm dismissal at work today so I went to the local gym then came home, cut the grass and did a little work on the truck.

- First up was the sack install



- Next, I was having a problem with too much freedom and horse puppies, so I removed, cleaned up and sprayed some axle horsepower







While I was under there, I noticed this..."STAINLESS"



Lastly, I filled up on my way from the train station to the gym and my gas door opens rough. Not anymore. Sprayed some PB blaster and used a pry bar to push the vertical bar inward so it would rub. Works perfectly now!



I hope to start on the spindles and finish up the tailgate mod this weekend. It was nice again today so I took advantage of what I could do before the rain hits.

Wife and I went to dinner and a movie for a date night. Saw "The hustle" it was good really funny. B+.

Tomorrow, we head to the city to get more of our stuff and help my mother-in-law clean up her house for a garage sale next month. I hope to sell my stock flares to a local member too!

Hope everyone had a good Friday!!
