Gooood damn yeeerp

And even though they quit smoking indoors a decade plus before it still smelled faintly of cigarettes and mildew huh

 

You know its a good one when you get the bathroom all steamy and the walls bleed tabacco tar

 

Mine went right in from the passenger side surprised it's causing issues

 

Crazy, shipped two packages yesterday

One to Southern CA (3hrs away) and one to TN (33hrs away) and both expected to deliver tomorrow

We have to go to their concert!

 

Honestly modern shipping logistics are fascinating.

 

USPS has just always been the most reliable (and fastest)

UPS wanted $121 to ship this -



Cost $26 with USPS and it delivered right away

 

USPS does pretty damn good. FedEx isn't a shipping company as most people think. They are in fact a Package Durability Test Center.

 

I've learned double-triple boxing methods with them and there were some items I just refused to ship with them.

But you'd have that buyer that would say "but it's cheaper.."

Nothing's broken yet so...

 

Contemplating using up some scrap 3/16" to cut 2 sets of bed stiffeners out of

I call it scrap cause it's extra, but it's cold rolled as usual so it's clean AF

 

Cool deal. I purchased a few extra donut gaskets thinking they may not be readily available next time I need to replace those gaskets again.

The version of TRD headers with the donuts at the crossover pipe really is the best version, so the trouble is well worth it.

I had one of the early versions with the typical 2-bolt flanges at the crossovers, and it would constantly develop a leak at the connections. Over time the round gaskets would burn up and lose its seal. The metal sleeve on the donut gaskets prevent the exhaust gasses from burning through the gasket material.

 

Those flat style flanges are the worst, they always have poor clamping on the sides and blow out the eventually warp the flange. The donut style are way better

 

Like real legit Legos, or knockoffs made in some Albanian child worker sweatshop

then again that's probably where the real Legos come from, too

 

You know damn well it's the latter and they're made by workers doing 6 12hr days where they have to bunk at the sweatshop

 

PPE will be provided when morale improves

 

"Where did you learn to nest?"

Yes



Still got room for a local order

 

Weird, 5100s with 881s assembled for the 4runner are $200 cheaper from Wheelers Offroad than from SRQ. I expect some price difference between sites but damn

I guess Wheelers is doing 20% off suspension sales right now but that's still a pretty good difference

I mean yea, just your normal everyday sweat shop legos

 

Yah UPS is basically only worth using if you have a commercial account

 

Did you ever make that file?
