New England B.S. Thread

National Public Radio. It's usually either playing that or comedy on the satellite radio. Occasionally I have a chick in there for a road trip that plays some horseshit pop or new country bullshit.

 

Wow the one in warwick is dirt cheap. I’ll just keep mine personal then most likely lol

 

I have a gallon sitting in my basement been wanting to do my truck but every day I have available is rainy or my driveway is still muddy. Anything I should know before I shoot mine?

 

In my simple mind, I'd think about a day rate. The hourly rate is neat, but personally, it's not enticing enough for me to want to go for it. If you get a day rate, I could almost see a mod day going on. I can do most of my work in my driveway, but if someone said they were doing a mod day and a group of people were going to bang out work on 4-5 trucks throughout the day so, collectively, all the work goes faster, I'd be more apt to jump on it. I likely wouldn't go by myself unless I was going major work (that I likely wouldn't be able to complete in a day anyways).

 

I load the inside frame rails with the tip before sticking the 360 wand in there. I’ve checked with a borescope and it works 10x better that way because the 360 tip will help spread the volume you’ve already placed in there

 

Yeah I would do 300 for the day but that would still mean being done by like 8pm I live in a residential area and like to keep my neighbors happy lol. I don’t need the cash at all but figured if I was gonna be in and out of the garage for the day it’s a easy way to help friends out and recoup a small amount of the expenses associated with the garage

 

You have a lift?...... Hmmmmm I need to save up lol

 

Hey, tire question on my sled trailer. NOEL!!! I got a nail in one of my tires through the sidewall, I need to buy a replacement tire. The tires it came with are load range "C" which is fine for the weight rating, but can I replace the one tire with a load range "D" and run the other three tires "C" rated without issue? The thing is this, if I were to have to replace another tire, or all the tires, I'd want "D" rated. Or should I just get the "C" so they all play well together?

 

Realistically it should be fine, But Id hate to see one tire create trailer sway. That's scary stuff. Id recommend keeping them all the same load range.

 

Not yet but I have a few side gigs coming up that will “pay for it” afterwards I realistically will only use it 2 or 3 weekends of the month. I do all my personal work during the week. So i was just seeing if anyone had interest in renting it here and there

 

Yeah, realistically the chances are I will have to replace all the tires in 3 or 4 years anyway. I think I'll stick with the "C".

 

Should be fine. Just check the OD on the new one to make sure it matches up; sometimes with trailer tires you get different OD's from different brands, or even in the same brand for a different model, which is annoying.

 

Oh really? Good. I will get the "D" then if the OD is the same.

 

that's a solid price for what looks like a well maintained and capable FJ. I need four full doors and really want something that can reuse a lot of my 3rd gen 4R 3.4/A340 parts.

Rust sucks. I found a clean 1st gen double cab in long island that I will be looking at on Friday.
Supposedly rust-free.

After that, I will be headed south to Virginia/NC region

 

No one can get me the same, exact tire. It doesn't matter if the tread is slightly different on a trailer does it?

 

No, they're just rollers. No ABS or anything like that to get affected. Just make sure to check the OD, because I've seen it vary as much as an inch from one manufacturer to another.

 

Guy I use to do side work with would charge $25/HR for if I was there working as well, straight up it Depends. Insurance is a big thing too

 

Showing your age..remember I got a few on you and still like mine loud!

 

Is that because you have a few on the rest of us and becoming hard of hearing?

 

Already am hard of hearing, all the years of loud music and concerts..or is that all the years of dealing with women...
