The Lair

Hope y'all had fun

 

Where’d you get an extra? Junkyard? It seems like the driveline is awfully exposed and a spare seems logical. But Oem is ridiculously expensive.

 

I got very lucky and someone gave it to me for free. I don’t remember why but I think Toyota gave him a new one under tsb and let him keep the old one.

 

Don't forget to get your truck aligned after you replace the driveshaft

 

A few times maybe.

 

I found you a new favorite picture Randy.
Better than this one.

 

Be sure to take it to Firestone!

 

And no DIY job here #randyFAB!

Firestone is all the rage I hear...

 

Randizzle got some bobbed bed competition in Utah with bonus SAS and 40s.

I never did understand why folks just don't go AROUND those big rocks

 

Emailed ECGS this morning asking for a quote to add a front ARB locker. I've never felt the need for one and would winch through something that I couldn't make, but this weekend that proved to not always work out like planned. On the plus side, my front bumper held up great to a few lateral tugs. Anyways, waiting to hear back from them and then I may pull the diff as soon as this week and get it mailed in. It's typically a one-week turnaround when you mail in your diffs, that way your truck isn't down for the count too long.

Rather than buy a mini air compressor to power it, I'll go totally analog and hook it to my powertank. No electronics to fail on me.

 

I've become numb to this picture. I need you to injure yourself again so we can get some fresh content in here.

 

To a man with a hammer everything looks like a nail.

 

Would you look at that. ECGS already got back to me and it'll be $1,145 for everything and a 1-2 week turnaround time. I may pull the diff today and get it mailed out.

 

I wonder if they can do a rear locker in a day. They're at the halfway point between me and my folks. Hmmmmm....

 

They can do a whole regear in a day so I don't see why not. Or have them build you a diff, drive down, have them swap in and they'll keep yours. Even faster.

 

I told my wife “They got back to me on the locker so I’m probably going to do that later.”

She rolled her eyes but didn’t say no, so thats good enough for me. Will drop the diff later and get it shipped out either today or tomorrow.

 

I go by the motto "its easier to ask forgiveness than permission"

I do shit, and deal with the consequences from the mrs later.

 

My wife is super supportive of my truck build. Mostly. I’m like I need a winch. She’s like “do we”? Well no but yes. So I still haven’t got one. But she keeps pushing for me to get a subwoofer. Cause she loves the bass. But thats money i could spend on hammer hangers and king smoothies? Or a winch. Maybe I need to get us stuck once Then she’ll be on board with the winch? Of course when we move back to NM in a month I’ll want a welder and welding table etc...

 

...or just buy what you want and explain later...
