New England B.S. Thread

Got this done after a quick call to @Bruce988jl . And also did a couple modifications to the travel trailer

 

Clearly, I missed something... When did you lose the cap?

Looks great though

 

more deck sessions tomorrow.. got lumber for the horizontal railings, and need to remove the old railing ballisters from the old lumber.. remove, and install old/new mounting brackets.. and attach ballisters.. looks like I might be making my own railing caps.. as lowes wants $10 for a 6ft piece of chamfered, and routed PT 2x4... just going to dig out my table saw and make my own for $4.25 and some effort.....

then finding some screen material, and fixing my screen door, and my other screen in my master bathroom...

 

I'd say you should have stopped by, but we were out the whole day haha

 

But that's where you should be working on your truck!
Nice setup though

 

Took the cap off early this spring. I'm still sitting on it, haven't been able to sell it for what I want, so I'll probably just keep it. Who knows, it might go back on for the winter season or something.

 

It's been getting noisier by the day, and last night I finally put the front end up in the air to check my front hubs. I found the driver's side was bad, but fortunately I had just replaced both last fall and had a used/good spare on-hand. Took about an hour start to finish to swap that out this morning. No more noise, the bad hub is hopefully going to be replaced, I sent an email to Marion B2B where I got it from, since they have a 2 year, 24k mile warranty according to the website. I know people have had issues with delays and such from them, but I did not personally, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Wow that was the same day Rob switched out my JBA Ball Joints. That went bad fast.

 

It did, and no visible signs of why. Had been grinding for a few weeks and Friday night it was really loud, took that run to home depot yesterday and I still heard it. When I lifted it up this morning there was no visible play, but you could definitely hear it grinding away when you spun the wheel. After I took it off, there's a ton of noise in it and it feels very rough. The spare I had is 100% better.

 

Nice thinking I might have to get a set to keep on hand.

This took entirely too long. I'm about 75% done right now, but making progress. I need to wire the roof lamps, get the right hardware and mount the side bar pieces, wire the 3rd brake light and mount the utility lights. My friend and I hit a few snags getting the switch illumination working correctly but sorted through everything. I'm pumped with how it looks.

 

Looks good man, so wish I never sold my Faux Beadlocks

 

I normally don't quote myself but yesterday I had said that were practically by ourselves on the beach. Well that wasn't entirely true and I think this guy is the reason! Lol





BTW, we really have no idea who this guy was!

 

I had an awesome time with my family this weekend! You all know what we yesterday and today we spent the day in Newport RI!

Edit; I just got my Awful Awful that I ordered

 

Haven't had one of those in nearly 20 years

 

I got one when we went to the Bristol parade but IDK how long it had been before then!

 

Where would you get your android radio from? I’ve been eyeing one for the Super Duty from Phoenix Automotive. I’d love to put one in but not excited about the price tag unless the current radio craps the bed.

 

Good morning everyone!


And it begins.

 

Yessir... been on and off the phone for 30 minutes already......
Service call in N Kingston, on my way to New Bedford....

 

I grab a spare when I go wheeling from Napa, I return it if I don't use it.
I really want 2 of these
