The Lair

Nope! That’s the rear main. The front can be done yourself. This kinda gives an idea of what is involved.

Eggs are hard to come by during this crisis. Could we use a substitute like potatoes or cauliflower?

 

This seems to by right up there with your chalk test Randall.

 

All I know is shredded lettuce makes a horrible substrate for fiberglass

 

We will need the potatoes to make battery’s and vodka. So go with the cauliflower, unless there is a objection. Any vegans logged in?

 

Never heard of a “tossed fiberglass”. Guess we learn something new every day

 

Smart choice. Cauliflowers would be more odoriferous for the drivers pleasure as well.

 

Wow. Seems like the crank bolt is a biotch to get out. I will have to do some clean up and inspection to see where it is coming from for sure.

 

Do you use synthetic oil? When I got my truck I switched it to syn. The leak started up and I switched back to Dino. That seems to have stopped it/slowed it down a whole lot.

 

If its anything like my old first gen, yeah, Its a pain.

 

No, been using regular dino its whole life.

 

Lol I put a breaker bar on there and put a 3 ft pipe on that and snuggled it under my tire and cranked the key for a second when I had to break mine. Back when the front crank seal was leaking.

 

First gen was like 180 ft lbs. Prob pretty close for the 2nd gen

 

Great job Daniel!

How Y'all holding up out there? Stay well above all else Brother. It must be very hard knowing you have to make physical contact. Especially considering your clientele.

Mad Support!

 

I'm wondering if this means without. Please don't ruin it for me.

 

Have a choice to wear pants silly.

 

We are holding up pretty well! We'd be better if the ground decided to stop shaking. We have had several large aftershocks since the earthquake on Wednesday. The last big one was a 4.0 magnitude last night a little after 7. It is just so unnerving when you feel the shake again, you can't help but wonder if it is the "big" one all the experts have been talking about being overdue for years.

 

Yea, I would seriously be freaked out about that. We experienced a very small one here about 8 years ago, that was miles away, but still swung the suspended lighting at work. Our building was pre-earthquake construction standards though. Still a very freaky feeling.

 

One of the dogs goes apeshit every time the ground moves. At least here on the Sandy bench, most of the little ones get filtered out.

 

I have watched a bunch of videos people have shared on various news sites. All of the ones with dogs or cats in them, especially dogs, they sense it and perk up 10-15 seconds before the shaking becomes visible. My dog refused to get out of his kennel Wednesday morning. Once I got him outside, he usually sleeps on the back porch, he slept out in the middle of the yard on the grass away from everything all day, like he knew the shaking was going to continue all day.
