the world is nuts!

 

Those are going for that plus more down here

 

Man, if I cleaned up my truck I don't think $10k would be too far fetched .

 

course 2 years and many miles later my Ford hasn't gone down much in market value either. Doesn't mean a whole lot since I am not selling

 

That's reasonable any more.

This is fucking nuts - https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/d/glendale-2001-toyota-tacoma-sr5-4x4-spd/7324406911.html

 

Man, I've been so busy the PC doesn't even turned on for porn or youtube anymore.

I could jump on COD if everyone's on during my work week though.

Yeah ok, one step at a time

I'll skip all that and just buy a ton of discs and 2 grinders.

 

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

 

Finally got my Ramsey RE8000 back from the machine shop. Set it down right side up in the garage and oil came flooding out of the mounting bolt holes. It appears the shop drilled straight through past the depth of each mounting hole. I didn't notice when I picked it up since I was rushing to get back to work.

Told my old roommate (who convinced me to buy it a year ago) and he just said "lol I'll take it off your hands if you want" which means free winch for him. I can't weld aluminum and won't be in the position to do so in the near future. We are back on speaking terms since we had to in order to move out of that house. But we obviously aren't friends after he said that.

 

Cheat and use thread sealer on the mounting bolts haha

 

Fair quality fair price on the low end though

 

That's just feels like such a hack job. And a headache down the roads if it starts leaking. I want to know why the machine shop ignored our agreement and just said drill press go brrrrr.

 

The place I worked would have caught that mistake and had it welded and tapped to correct depth if they made the mistake.

 

Use some pipe thread sealer and put it together, probably won’t have an issue. But yea. Super shitty


I had a machine shop drill through an oil galley on an engine... they paid for a new block... my buddy said fuck it and he sealed it with pipe tape shit. 5 years later still no leak

 

As a person who went from no muffler to glasspack on two diff trucks, you are correct

 

Too far

 

I'm never wrong


I'm an angel

 

I'd say it made both the trucks sound better bc the tone was tighter and less drone-y. I fkn hate exhausts like flowmaster bc of the drone


But yes, aren't we all?

 

Did your wings fall off?

 

I’ll call the shop Monday and go from there. I’m just not interested in using thread sealant.

 

Plan was to just deal with the slightly fewer threads on that one bolt. There are 8 mounting bolts so it didn't seem like a big deal. But those two bolt holes in the picture go straight into the case now. They normally mount like the bottom picture.
