AZ BS Thread 4²0

I remember the 10/143 crap being bad at the end of when I was there. I'd love to be close to somo but, north tempe/mesa or south scottsdale makes the most sense for me and friend based on work. although once hes done with flight school down at mesa-gateway might free things up.

 

If you say so, I'm at the base, it's literally my back yard. Close enough that the foothills block my view. Lots more around than mt. Lemon.

 

Tempe and south Scottsdale are great, competing with 80k asu students for housing, not so much

 

ASU girls are great eye candy though. Fun to look at not to play with

that is part of what I need to remember though. I don’t care for nightlife or bars or any of that so I may commute farther to be in quieter areas/neighborhoods

If you drink water from that "lake" you will see all sorts of wild things

Amazes me when they have people swim in it...

 

Damn, can't embed youtube shorts?

You recall when police responding to a drowning required special training so that the next time (and next time and next time and ...) people are drowning the police who have been trained (so they do not drown themselves saving people) can try to get them out.

Oy vey

 

I think there was a whole thing where a crackhead jumped in after a standoff and they refused to go after him

Rough, but cant blame em

 

Our daughter lives in Tucson. We like it but to be fair we only really visit for the weekend. Still, after several weekend visits we have found enough stuff we like to move there if we needed to. We'd just be somewhere north of Grant and south of Picacho / Mammoth. I know that's a big area and largely not Tucson proper but nice is nice. Still hoping for north near Prescott / Cottonwood. We were looking at Rimrock until we AirBnB'd it one weekend and found out that Rimrock is in a hole and does not see the same 10° temp offset that the rest of Northern Arizona does so F-That Place! I'm moving to get away from the heat.

I'll see if I can find and upload it but I made a map that identified all of the hospitals in AZ by Trauma Level - Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 Trauma Center, etc. Then I used Google Maps to put roughly a radius around each one to see how close we would need to be to have appropriate medical care. Wife doesn't want to live in a place where 911 takes 45 minutes to get to you and then 45 minutes to get you to a hospital after you get picked up.

Would be super nice if there was a map application where you put in the address of the hospital and then based on roads, speed limits and driving times it drew a more precise boundary based on the number of acceptable minutes instead of a perfect round radius circle.

 

I lived in the last non 55+ trailer park in that zip code for 7 years. Location was great but I couldn't afford the area any longer when I looked to get my own place so AJ it became.

 

I’m looking out in AJ or gold
Canyon. I don’t mind things more rural

 

For those of you that have limit straps on your front mid travel set ups, how much of or at all does the double nutted clevis with spring float upwards when you have uptravel?

 

Do you have the straps already? I didnt even run the spring loaded setup and they worked just fine. Less shit to break.

 

I have double shear tabs on my factory lowers and clevis with mounts by the shock tower. I ended up taking off the spring and running one nut above and below on the upper mount. I do have straps already

 

Ahh, so you're thinking of putting the spring back in? Is your current setup loud/harsh? Mine was kinda clunky at times so I do understand.

 

There should just one spring on the bottom. Or double nut it where the clevis is in a static position.

 

The uniball cup was hitting the misalignment spacer so I need limit straps to stop that. Having the clevis with both nuts up top seems dumb since it can move still with up travel so I removed the spring and put one nut above and below the mount.

 

Beautiful day for some truckin’!

 

I know that spot!
