Dreams are made of unimog axles.

 

I don't wanna peer pressure you into anything

Lol actually I do, that's the only reason why the bumper didn't get finished already.

Using the 2" square tube for the swingout will give me an overly large gap between it and the bumper so I need to buy 2" x 3" rectangular tube to use instead.

I've been putting it off because I don't want to commit to buying 20' of it when I only need 4'.

Looks like I'll be buying some soon just for @JKO1998

 

OG style…

I love those things. Top 3 on the want vehicles list.

steel shops sell buy the inch-lb ratio here.

 

My go-to sells steel cheap, but for *new* steel only in 20' sections.

 

Toyota shit sucks, you went the right route. I wish I went domestic tons rather than dicking with Toyota based axles. Additionally Toyota parts are pretty much dealer or vendor only, and just about evrey Toyota vendor these days sucks dong, where as domestic truck parts I can find at just about any parts store, scrap yard or hicks yard/farm if I'm in a jam. If I want land cruiser parts for my axles I have to blow some over lander land cruiser dork in an REI parking lot just to maybe peek at their over priced collection of JDM (from Australia) parts.

Plus I want heavy bulky shit slung down low, more stable.

 

Does said Overlander Land Cruiser park like a Jeep at the mall?

Welcome Back!

 

Morning all!

 

It is def nice to be able to get little dumb shit like gaskets, caliper brake hose banjo bolts or even caliper bolts at auto zone.

I’m interested to see how my truck drives. I hope it feels light. The idea of a 4.0 super charged seems nice w Toyota axles but, like you said, if you break w tons you just go talk to almost any jeeper if you need shit.

morning!

And they're not ready for my programming socks

 

Gosh, that does seem like it would make C a lot more fun.

 

Final exam today

Then onto the next module next week.

 

That's a good book even if you don't write C. I should give my copy a skim again. It's been a while.

 

I’ve been playing with Rust the last couple of days. It’s a whole new world.

 

I haven't used it or even looked at it before, but a quick read through the WikiPedia page and I see lots of the same language features and syntactic sugar that I've been excited to see come to C# over the past few years.

Disallowing null pointers by default is a mindset shift. I'm wholly in favor of it, but I'm still adjusting to the new mindset and patterns.
