MARYLAND TACOMAS

I've been in Baltimore city for 20minutes and I'm already hearing sirens & rap music. I miss the tranquility of the mountains.

 

I figured i would mention it here before it gets listed online. My buddy is selling 5+acres with a older but useable single wide mobile home for $60k. It has a addition & a metal roof. Also has a nice size shed. It has all utilities. It's off the beaten path just down the road from my place so its secluded.

 

That was the shortest long weekend ever.

 

It went by slow for me.

 

Holy effin raining cats and dogs and everything else!

 

Lucky. This is 1 of 3 weekends a year I hear from all those friends I don't normally hear from who want to go boating

 

All. The. Rain.

 

Our parking lot at work.

 

My dad bought that new 21ft or 23ft (cant remember) Carolina Skiff at last years boat show. I haven't had it out yet this year.

 

And one more.

 

Looks about right. Fredrick got over 5"

 

My spiral cable was supposed to be in on Saturday but of course it wasnt so I had to drive my leaky convertible mustang today and will have to boat on back to Frederick after work today so I can put in the spiral cable that SHOULD be there today.

 

I got $20 your gonna get an email saying delivery delayed because they dont have a big enough boat to deliver with.

 

So I just noticed that I definitely overtightened my LCA alignment bolts when I did my LBJ's last weekend. I apparently was looking at the torque spec sheet for 2WD which is 155 ft-lb instead of the 100 ft-lbs that it's supposed to be for 4WD & Prerunner. No wonder i was wrestling the torque wrench trying to get them that tight, I was only able to get like 140 ft-lb

Edit: Anybody know why it's a different torque spec for the different models?

 

Replacing lbj's doesn't require you to loosen the lca alignment bolts.

 

I also applied antiseize to the alignment hardware because I forgot to do that when installing the new hardware and total chaos cam tab gussets a few weeks back.

 

Great idea! They're known for seizing up. I put antiseize on just about everything.

 

Yeah mine were pretty bad we had to cut two of them off

 

For sale: Rav 4, freshly detailed. New carpet.

 

Yeesh. I've put almost 40 hours on my boat since April. Not bad for a weekend warrior.
