New England B.S. Thread

Replacement UBJs from SPC last April have failed again for inspection this morning. I’m going nuts! Gahhhhhhh

 

The fridge I have came with baskets, which work great. The one drawback is that they stack, and we can't put taller items in them.

 

Hm - Good points!

I might do a 25/75 or something if it fits, I'll have to measure it, maybe the 75% is baskets, 25% is open for wine bottles and boxes. I'll have to measure stuff and see what I can find that would fit - thanks for the input! I don't mind most of my stuff on its side, but that's a good thing to keep in mind and plan around.

I also want to look at getting something like this - cubes, rather than water bottles, just because the bottles START nice and organized but end up a disaster by the end of the first night fishing out beers. This option is $$$$ but a brick-like shape for holding water as a heat sink. Gotta do some googlin' and also actually measure the cooler




Maybe I just get a bunch of these, then I can re-use them, throw them in the dishwasher when I get home, etc etc.



I DO know what I could do....
If I remember correctly, it would fit exactly 3 boxes of Franzia in the big part on their sides, and the little shelf on the side holds a bota box perfectly.

 

I knew this whole thing was about boxed wine. Mines just a distaster for the night then I fix it in the morning. There's beers goin in and out all night so it aint gunna stay organized.

 

when is it NOT about boxed wine?

The little shelf I have on the side of mine fits either a smaller box of wine OR 8 12oz cans pretty much spot on. It's more so off-trips when I am using it for day to day use, like I got groceries at lunch today because the weather was shit. That little shelf holds small gatorades for after rides/hikes in the summers, etc. Just wanting to keep it organized, I think bigger water containers is the key, rather than a bunch of little ones.

I have some plastic food storage containers that might fit in there pretty well and stack nicely, I'll have to mock up some stuff. I got time, 3 months until my first planned trip

 

What's the first planned adventure???????

 

Our annual trip to Vermont.
The fridge gets use beyond that though. Family cookouts, holidays, keeping post-ride gatorade cold, groceries during lunches at work. @AllTacosFloat sets his to freezer mode and does freeze pops

Made it real nice at the top! It was hot that day

 

Almost as hot as the mod day we had at Joel's place a few summers ago

But yeah that day was brutal

 

what part number were the replacements you put in?

 

25002 it looks like. That was a replacement for the original set that failed after a year or two.

 

Shit, I'm running the same revision and my front end is starting to vibe in certain scenarios and certain speeds. I bought mine from autozone so the warranty is there, but I'm gonna be pissed if I have to somehow find the time to swap them again in less than a year

 

Literally my exact gripe. I don’t want to do this once a year, it’s a huge pain in the ass. I shouldn’t have to either. I’m not hard on my vehicle at all. And I have to send mine to SPC too so it’s time down without a vehicle.

 

I kept my old ones so I could turn those in for warranty and have the new ones ready to go, but I think I need to mentally prepare for doing this yearly as well. I'm not kind at all to the truck either lol

 

The good thing is that its a quick bolt on one and aligments are easy and you can just do them. I am scared about the inner pivots, I have the super old style and they stopped making the bushings. Trying to find a replacement from like energy suspension but its not going well. Might cast my own...

 

When your drinking bourbon and whiskey.

 

Too efficient.

When I drink whisky I trip over a fire pit in the woods, fall asleep with my fog lights on blasting into Frank's tent, and then eat a sleeve of Ritz crackers for lunch the next day.

 

Look how considerate you were by providing a night light for a fellow adventurer.

 

A little hack for you. Cut the brush from the can on anti-seize bottles. It’s not strong enough to last the whole bottle, it usually breaks off and it's also too short. Just buy a bunch of cheap acid brushes from Amazon or your local hardware store.

 

Walked out of Costco to this. I was all the way at the end of the lot so only one car next to me. My dash cam footage has a gap (of course) between pulling into the lot and leaving so I don’t know what did this (cart / car). The red mist is real. The line down it is from whomever did it checking it out.

Paint cracked so PDR is a no-go. I’ll have to figure out if it’s better to file or not. Luckily I’m on a first name basis with the bodyshop I like.
