Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Spotted in Richmond.

love those old school finned wheels.

 

I reached out to the company I bought it through, waiting for a reply.

 

Ugh.
Something inside my rear difff just poked a hole in the housing.
Waiting for a tow truck.

 

@bagleboy

Thanks again for letting me borrow the bed bar set up!!!!!

 

Oof. That’s no good.

 

I had the diff rebuilt 10 months ago. The shop has a 1 year warranty on parts and labor. So maybe, just maybe something unscrewed it self and caused the damage and will be covered.

 

Did you feel or hear anything very loud and forceful before this happened? The back of the diff is thin metal but it ain't that thin. lol

 

I Had music up pretty loud with the windows down. I heard a very loud buzzing sound and stopped the truck. No bang or anything like that.
At first I couldn’t figure out where the sound was coming from.
At some point I noticed the hole and dripping diff fluid.
While trying to figure out what was happening I reversed and the noise went away. The last I moved the truck no sounds. It rolled onto the tow truck smoothly.

 

Your welcome. Probably not up to actually using the rtt but should be fine to transport it.

 

I've seen grenaded diffs not make much noise. It's rare but it does happen. Let us know what you find out when the shop tears into it.

 

Good time was had by all at pismo

 

How busy is it there in the winter months? Been wanting to check it out..

 

It was fairly empty this weekend

 

Were hosting a large 4x4 MEET at the shop on Saturday. Stop by and say hello.

 

Random - but anyone in the bay area know any Golden Retriever breeders, or know of anyone who might have a litter of puppies?

 

Have you tried the NORCAL Golden Retriever Rescue? There are a bunch of places that "have puppies" but nothing beats someone with local knowledge.

I can suggest Dustin Retrievers in Sutter, Moonlight Labradors in Santa Rosa, and Japutal Labs if you're looking for a Labrador Retriever.

 

must be something about a white taco and a sunset

 

Spotted 3rd gen towing an X100 on HWY 120 on Sunday. Headed eastbound.
