Always have 4-5 spurs on hand, or embrace the noise and get a bronze one and don't adjust the slipper clutch like a fucking 200lb gorilla

 

you let people call you that at work??

 

Yep!

It's stupid because this thing can run 6 cell lipos (what I'm running) so it's got plenty of juice running through it, but hey let's do like Nissan and put a shitty as transmission with plastic spur gears to keep the owner on their toes.

 

First of all, like I give shit. Second of all, no, no they do not. They keep those names to themselves. I'm just known as the oldest soul in the factory.

 

I'd hear that shit at the track so many times. It can get expensive running nice 4WD track cars but it's crazy just how you much you can tune them.

From basic stuff like steering stops, to engine braking, and exponential curves for your throttle and steering, and more.

 

He works in Idaho, I wouldn't be surprised if they all gathered for a lynching during the company picnic.

 

Lawlessness

 

@Speedytech7 A long time ago you responded to (and gave good info on) a post I had about how the ECU advances and retards timing. Do you know if there's an upper limit to how far the factory ECU will advance timing if knock isn't encountered? I've never seen over like 25* on my OBDII, but I'm rarely watching it.

 

Maybe in the klanhandle but not down here in the desert.

 

I know there's at least 2 cheap fucks out there that used a torque wrench and returned it to Amazon. I got 2 in a row

Buying next one from a legit source

 

were they left set on 200 ft/lbs right out of the box

 

No, but one adjusts like it was dropped in a sandbox and the other appears to have been used a bunch because the left/right toggle has worn a groove into the body. I actually couldn't adjust the one past like 45ft lb because of how poorly it spins lol

 

You can totally use it as a breaker bar as long as you turn it to 200!!!1!1

 

damn surprise rainstorm maybe no bike ride tonight after all

 

What brand? The only one I've gotten off Amazon was a Tekton one that went up to 250 ft/lbs. Was inexpensive and worked great until one day I loosened it too much and the little spring in the bottom got lost somewhere in my yard lol.

 

Was there a spring? I loosened the hold screw and it fell out but I don't remember a spring coming with it lol

Tekton 3/8, figured I'd get one after my HF went righty loosy, I love the Tekton 1/2 one

 

Actually now that I think about it, it might have been a tiny little pin. I think there were two and one of them went MIA.

It still "works" but I have no idea how reliable it is now that that happened so I don't use it

 

It's self-attacking meme o'clock

 

Self shame game

 

So off came the ARB Bumper so I could swap grilles and also install the transmission cooler. I swear, figuring out HOW and WHERE to mount that f-ing cooler IS a PITA! That stupid AC line is in the way of everything. I mean WTF were they thinking?

As for the ARB, that thing can piss off also. 2Beers had a stump jump out at him on the trail and the thing sustained a pretty rough impact. Cant really tell but it apparently tweaked the passenger side support/mount arm (whatever its called) a little bit. I have no idea how we installed it but I do not remember it being such a headache. Damn thing will just not line up. Scratched the shit out of my driver side fender trying to get the bumper to sit right.

Might just order a new one. That thing can rust out in the backyard for all I care.
