Calamity tacos build thread that was for a tacoma but now is for a ford! crazy times we are in!

4th bike to the garage!

this is the gfs new bike! 2024 xr150l she is super happy!

 

Might wanna put a tire on the bolt!

 

Currently stripping the wheels down to drop them off for coating. Then I'll put my new tires on.

 

Tested the fender flares yesterday lol had to drive through my sister's 7 acre field. The field was pure mud and the tires were caked up badly but as you can see none of it is on the truck so I got my offset set perfectly!

 

friday be acting like a monday so far! the gf left the house to go to work and she will call me on the way to work for 1 of 2 reasons.
1. there is a cop somewhere and she wants to tell me
2. her car broke again..

well today it was number 2... she was on her way to work and she lost abs and then a check engine light came on and started flashing at her so she pulled over and called me. i asked her if she could drive it and she said she could but it was unhappy and going very slow... the car put it self back into limp mode and while i was grabbing my stuff she did a quick code scan once she got back to the house and from what it said was camshaft postion sensor failure fix immediately.. at least its a sensor but this car and its sensors i swear!

 

Went from okay weather and helping out on my sister's property to well shit weather in snow in a few hours... Gotta love the Midwest...

 

so uhh just saving this for later nothing to worry about.

again saving for later if i trip over something and it comes home with me this weekend ya know it happens.


@fatfurious2 this be your fault!

 

Dodge sucks..

 

But Mopar or no car BROOOOO!

 

I'll walk then... Dodge belongs in the scrap heap...

 

Tell my coworker that lol. He's got an old rusted out 2000s 2500 Ram with a V10 and he loves that truck. He calls it the Ramborghini

 

Lol can't talk people out of stupid things ya know!

 

It's been a good truck to him

 

I'd hope so if he wants to keep it lol.


I personally hate Mopar haha

 

Busy weekend tbh! Lots of running around and lots of work in the back yard for an old project we started but didn't finish!

Over the week I had to tow the gfs shitty Dodge to the dealer but thankfully it's all good now

 

I knew my rear shocks were bad but not this bad... Currently the raptor shocks are in the rear. They will need a rebuild as they are tired but they are waaay better then the original rear shocks

 

Looks like you need to freshen up your undercarriage or you are gonna have a crusty truck and need GQs rust removal services

 

Haha I've never touched up the underside of my vehicles tbh. I don't got a lift to do stuff like that easily.

 

You can do it on the ground like the rest of us lol

 

You see that requires effort lol
