NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Lol, that fun getting it out?

 

They don't really leave you much room and I didn't pull the CVs all the way. I never do make things easy on myself.

 

I think you’re right and we’ll still be dealing with this next summer to some degree but the quarantine/stay home for WA should be done by the beginning June

 

Agreed. just feels like forever.

 

might already have some in it.

I’ll grab it today, hopefully if my plan works out i wont have to swap it in at all

 

Ok, I'll let erika know you might be stopping by.

The oil actually looked pretty good, and then I remembered I've only got about 6000miles on it since the frame swap and it got new fluid then. Gear mesh feels pretty tight too, no slop like the rear.

 

Nothing I've seen points to done by June unfortunately. But these emergency operation centers are only pretending to know what they're doing But, that doesn't mean contininuing as we are.

At some point we have to start spinning back up with the acknowledgement that if you're out of shape, ill or old you should probably stay home and everyone else should exercise good hygiene and distancing. Construction for instance needs to start again. China is spinning up so and if we keep staying locked down and sinking our economy we will be further indebted to them and falling in the ranks of world super powers.

But what likely happens is we ease restrictions and ride another wave back into isolation. There's just too much international touch to Washington with our border and SeaTac as well as the whole country in general. Play the game until herd immunity or wide wide spread vaccination.

 

What we've been looking at (guessing) at work is modifications to the allowed business lists, or partial reopenings and stuff. I'd also be surprised to see things just open back up all at once, and I agree that we both have to get shit moving again to keep our economy viable, and the chances of another wave going happening go up with that restarting of the whole world.

 

Cleaned

I’ll be installing the parts onto bobs front end as long as the housing looks good

 

my GF went to Walmart the other day and said it was disgusting in there. She actually sanitized everything she brought home. One lady had a mask on and walked up to a bunch of plush Easter bunnies, pulled her mask down, rubbed her face on it saying that they were so damn soft. Then she put it back and pulled her mask back up and walked off.

 

Might want to double check it's not cracked. Front lower side, I noticed a gouge and possible hair line. You gonna swap the fj awd tube and eliminate ADD while you're there?

 

will do. Is dropping in a fj AWD tube doable? Never heard of that before

 

Yup, need the half shaft and the tube. Direct swap from the full time awd fj. Eliminates add, and since you've already got the two stick that's now basically your 4wd/2wd selector. Only other thing would be to do manual locking hubs so the CVs aren't spinning all the time.

 

I think thats domestic terrorism.

 

direct bolt onto the front diff? I’ll have to look at clearances and see if i cant do it once the differential is in, those tube bolts were TIGHT. I almost flipped Devon and the table we were working on over

 

he ded

 

Walmart is domestic terrorism
