PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

So you're saying my new frame will be happy too? Why?

 

No rust. This will breathe new life into ur truck.

 

You ever watch those time lapse videos of a tacoma frame replacement? Pretty slick.

 

My neighbor's Expedition is not totaled, but due to the current supply chain issues there is no telling when the parts needed to fix it will come in...

 

Good question, it wasn't an issue for me so I didn't even look. If my cats are in the truck they are in a carrier..

Used one on mine last fall, no issues.

Anywhere here?

 

I cant even remember the last time l changed the belt on my car, gonna have to check my logbook but probably been 10 years.

 

Better check, they degrade with time/age rather than mileage.

 

I cant remember if here or you tube. It was at a dealer with a ceiling camera . It was slick to watch. Alot of work goes into a frame replacement, makes you respect those mechanics even more.

 

About that time especially in colder areas.

Mine had about 110K and was used since Sept 2009 when I changed it last fall. Just figured it was getting to that point and better to do it in the driveway in reasonable weather versus ass freezing winter and/or having it snap.

I've heard it's 4-5 days with 2 techs, and a friend's husband works at a dealer that has done quite a few.

 

About 20 years ago I was driving home from Pittsburgh on a Sunday night and an adjustment bolt for the alternator belt fell out. Thankfully I was able to make another bolt extra tight and stop every so often to readjust till I made it home from my trip. I noticed a car like mine sitting in front of a junkyard so I headed that way Monday morning before work as it was a really odd style bolt.

 

Final house in the new development; Progressing fairly slow...

 

Would somebody care to explain why we're almost halfway through November, and I'm wearing shorts and a T-shirt?!?!

 

Christmas is coming early this year, sort of...

Due to ongoing supply chain issues and the need to replace some aging light sets, I bought new ones early!

 

I am also going to decorate the truck today, though I'm not gonna start blasting Christmas music until after Thanksgiving!

 

This is last year's wreath that sat forgotten in the storage space under the back deck for almost a year...

 

I starting cutting up the wreath with some heavy-duty snips in an attempt to get the Christmas lights off, but then I discovered the wiring had become brittle and cracked, so I just tossed the whole thing in the garbage...

 

What a mess!
