209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

I wasn't going to say anything because I didn't want your local guy to loose business. But, you buy diffs from ECGS and you buy drive shafts from Tom Woods. Both have excellent customer service. Tom Woods probably does more shafts in a month then your local guy does in 2 years. They are very, very knowledgeable. Get your pinion angle and flange to flange numbers as well as full droop and full stuff. Give them that info and they'll build the shaft you actually need for the specs of the rig.

 

call Jesse at High Angle in Paradise. He has done all my custom shafts as well as most wheelers I know. He does good work.

He's also very, very good. Unfortunately he's usually also a few weeks out at the least. Being good tends to do that. lol

 

Right on thanks

 

SUPER late on this but Jesus Auto Repair in Modesto. Hole in the wall spanish speaking guy, but he was a Toyota Master Mechanic for over 20 years and he knows what he is doing. I take my cars there, toyota and Honda.

 

Jesus take the wheel... and fix it, there seems to be a little too much play in my steering.

 

What’s up gentlemen, anyone know of any good hot springs spots along 395? Lately I’ve been thinking about heading somewhere cold where you can soak in hot water to balance the experience. It can be a small spot, I’m not looking to take a large group

 

Maybe try asking this again after the modified stay at home order and 120 mile travel restriction request is lifted.

 

Why?

 

If I have to explain that to you good luck in life.

 

So I can’t ask a question? You are making some assumptions, and thanks life is going pretty well. I hope you do well in life too!

 

You can ask. It just most likely won't get answered because of the current state of affairs in Cali. I'm not making any assumptions. You literally wrote:

Since you live in Liverpool a quick google search will let anyone know that 395 is MORE then 120 miles from you. It's obviously voluntary travel and against what the state is currently asking of residence. Alpine, Mono, and Inyo county are all tourist driven economies yet they are all asking that people from out of the area to comply with state orders. Your post CLEARLY shows that you plan not too and to go to one of those counties.

My life's great. I live about 20 minutes from some of those tubs. lol

 

Liverpool is in the UK, and interesting, NY. Who knew. I don’t know who you are, but I know many of the 209 guys who I asked. You seemed concerned about my mileage so from Bishop please don’t go further than Topaz CA north on 395, or Inyokern CA south on 395.

In light of recent members concerns let me restate my question. In the possibility of wanting to recreate outdoors, in the undisclosed possible future, of unknown distance, does anyone have a fun hot springs camp spot they’d be willing to private message me? Maybe I’ll go this summer when the reasonable state lockdowns have been lifted. I love the 395 corridor and the beauty it holds. Thanks!

 

Indeed. That's what I get for typing we'll thinking ahead about what I'm going to type. lol

As far as camping near the springs goes. It's discouraged to camp at them. If you pick up a copy of the book that pretty much increased traffic to every one of the springs in the 395 corridor I'm sure it'll have all the info you need.

 

Hey guys... if I could just chime in for a quick second.

I know both of you... have wheeled with both of you... know, for a fact, both of you are cool dudes...

Don't let that transaction dictate future events.

Met up with @Pyrifera (cool dude) today and snatched up his old fridge.



This is the thread I was tellin you about. If you think you'll be in the area, check us out and see if we're up to anything. Last year was a slow year... hoping this year will be more exciting.

 

Pretty nice weather projected for this weekend. Got a laundry list of shit to do on the truck:

Start by cleaning up garage
Oil Change
Replace Alternator (with Cadillac Alt)
Replace A/C idler bearing
Big 3 wire upgrade
Install BMW seats
Install vinyl to replace carpet
Give suspension a once over to check torque
Rebuild CVs
Check level in Tcase
Grease Ujoints and drive shafts


What does everyone else have planned this weekend?

 

Subaru clutch? I was talking to my dad about it and he said Subaru made it pretty easy to pull the motor and on an awd it was definitely the way to go. The only difficulty was the turbo/intercooler.

Or have you done it already?

I still need to do my driveline.

 

They shipped my part from SoCal to here in the foothills and then it was redirected to the Bay Area yesterday

 

I haven't even bought the parts for that shit yet lol

Need to find my garage first... I fucking hate Christmas. Every damn year this happens.
