AZ BS Thread 4²0

I was up there when it started. My wife's 4Runner broke and we were stuck. Then the fire happened so then I got real nervous.

 

Yeah I saw Tiffs snapchat. That is crazy how close it is/was. Well I look forward to possibly getting to camp with you guys or atleast hang out ad have a few beers for our B days!

 

What broke?

 

20 miles is gross.. I've had my tri training days and don't miss it one bit! What do you do while she's running? Strawberry is a neat little town, Fossil Creek is close by

 

I don't know about this guy but if it was my wife I would drive slowly behind her blasting some theme music from Rocky

Upper control arm nut came off and the bolt came out while we were driving.

 

Running....for fun?!?! EEEWWWWWWW But yeah strawberry is cool to fuck around in.

 

Only running you'll see here will be of my mouth.

 

Unless cops are chasing my I'm not running for anything.


Not like I could run more than 50ft without getting winded.

 

oh wow, this actually happened?

I'm assuming you are talking about the long bolt, through the frame/shock tower itself.

Did you swap the orientation from factory? i.e. so the bolt is sloped downwards?

I have mine torque striped, but I just checked them again.

 

She signed up for basically a marathon distance that's centered there on the rim, part of the mogollon monster race. This is one of her last big distance training runs before tapering off. I poke around near her course and stay available for support. Just a mobile aid station really.

Every couple of months she starts hinting at me going out with her. Fuck that shit though...
I did buy a mountain bike just before the valley turned into an air fryer. So that'll get used a bunch once it's a little more reasonable temperature wise. I already sweat gallons building powerlines, don't need to be doing that after work too lol.

 

Yup it happened. lucky we were turning slow. 2 min earlier and we'd be screwed as we were doing 50 in the dirt road.

We didn't flip them during the install. Didn't think it would work it's way up of it came loose. It's thread locked like crazy now.

 

Speaking of bolts coming loose, I’ve had two of my friends have a caliper bolt back out and their caliper rotated back into their wheel, gouging the shit out of it. I’m all about torque specs but that’s one bolt I always blue loctite as well. Eff that.

 

Oh damn! Well lucky you caught that before it was to late.

 

Caught it by hearing a loud bang and the wheel turning all the way to the right...

 

Yeah I wouldnt be wanting to be sweating like that either!

 

Still don't know why I workout in the 10x20 shed every day after I clock out at 3.

I will say, it's made this Summer more bearable than most though.

 

Thats sounds terrible. But still better than being at a gym with a bunch of randoms.

 

Had the same thing happen to me. it was in an ace parking lot luckily

 

One more hour then get to start packing for a long weekend in the White Mountains don't give a F if it rains just want some cooler weather
