    Some really cool shit
    So, Toyota thinks my angles have changed on driveline with addition of Deavers. Did add a little rake.

    7324F52C-6F24-4765-88F1-EDBCCC6640E7.jpg


    If that’s the case why didn’t I have an issue with stock driveline? Now I have a new driveline and suddenly after four months this happens. They say it’s what caused my transmission failure. The noise I was hearing that led me to believe that something might be wrong with transmission was the same noise I was hearing when carrier bearing failed . So are they still covering for the fact they may have replaced the transmission unnecessarily? There is definitely something going on the drive line.

    I was going to ask if you had a carrier bearing drop installed. I added one when I lifted the truck.

    Truck originally lifted by dealer prior to my eventual purchase. Then replaced their crappy ProComp suspension with King. No issues. Then, later, maybe may or June last year, added Deavers Stage III. Did Rubicon, and other lesser trails. Dinged up shaft on Rubicon last June. Started noticing vibration. Pulled shaft and took it to Southbay Driveline. Had him build me a new driveline four months ago. Toasted the carrier bearing in that amount of time. He replaced the carrier bearing for me last week. Installed on Friday(three days ago). Still trying to figure out how to save the video I got by text so as to share here. But the vibration from the shaft is bad. Did send to Southbay to view. He wants me to bring it back so they can test in balancer because as he stated in reply, "thats crazy bad".

    Does anyone have a working Hi8 camcorder I can borrow or rent? Have a bunch of old Hi8 tapes I'd like to digitize. Thanks in advance!

    Looks like I'm coming back to pick up my little brother. I'll be there for a week. Bringing my 5wt. Anyone got any recommendations on places I should check out? I'm already planning on headed to the Shasta area and the Upper Truckee River. Didn't know if there was anything else that I should check out if I have the time.

    I use ma'am and sir to everyone, no matter their age or demographic. Just a habit. Being from the south, it's pretty much required. Yes ma'am, no ma'am, thank you ma'am, please.

    Kind of funny how true this is/felt growing up
