geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Filmed for posterity, of course

 

I still plan on going Karen on them.

They reshipped an item I ordered back in April (that I did not order last week when I ordered the grinder).

They were just as confused as I was. Another cute girl (different girl). She felt so bad and I got a refund. No digits.

 

Do the .75" Bora spacers require any trimming of the factory studs?

 

Depends on what wheels you have. Some have a little "pocket" area designed into them so you don't have to trim. Some don't have that, so you have to trim.

 

Idk what the backs of my wheels look like, but I didn't have to trim.

 

Awesome! This site never ceases to amaze me with the quality info.

 

Randy is handier than pockets in underwear...

 

That's why they call me Handy Randy. Ignore any other stories regarding the names history.

Did you ask???

 

As a point of reference, I am running 0.75" Bora's with the OEM 16" wheels with no stud trimming required.

 

Nice man.

I am really happy with the decision to run the spacers. I was always worried about them, but I think the horror stories come from the fat spacers; like 1.5"+. They perform well and they're just there to save my Kings in the rear.

 

I have another full set of 1.25" Bora's that I used to run. I kept them so that once I get my rear shock and shock relocation mounts installed, I plan to slam those on there(if necessary) for a little extra clearance.

 

Got the RMA processed from Diode Dynamics. I sent back all my bulbs to them. I am sick of these overpriced bulbs not fitting well and not working at all. They're junk. I am glad to have their pain out of my life.

I was credited back almost $150 to my PayPal and it is already gone hahahaha

This week is going to be a good week. Mod day Saturday!!

On the list:

- Front and rear brake kits
- Carrier Bearing
- Hood pins
- Hood deflector (waiting for the pins to get installed so I can see if it will fit/install properly)

Then, my buddy wants to remove some trees so I will have about 3 trees to fell also, but, free firewood!!

It's going to be a busy day for sure and I doubt that everything will be installed. I am hoping for the brakes to get done at least and then fell my buddy's trees. The hood pins would be nice too if we can squeeze it in. I might have to leave the truck to fell the trees while others work on her, but, if that's what has to happen, so be it. The original plan was to spend Saturday night there and finish anything up on Sunday, however, I now have some plans Saturday night so....



I will probably head back to his house Sunday and finish up anything that wasn't done.

Great week so far!!

 

I've never read "fell the trees" more in a paragraph than I have here.

 

Hi bae.

Just wanted to make you and Jason fantasize about me in pantless chaps.

Carry on.

 

Sub'd. Awesome build man. I have only ripped through the first page or so of posts.

 

Welcome man. Any questions, let me know. Sorry for all the BS and pantless chaps talk.

+1 interwebs point for spelling your name correctly also!
