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

Ahh I gotcha. The one thing I know that has to be done is actual plumbing. It's what the gf wants so that might make it difficult to do a conversion but I'll look into the nicer companies and see.

 

Been busy! before my gf moved in she has wanted a garden/green house. told her eventually when we have time we will start one. so here is the start atm ive got the base area setup i do need to change out the 2x4s i was using as the corner braces out to a 4x4 to make it go towards the roof. but its a start at least! got the wood saturday and my truck was so lovely to tell me that the trailer i was borrowing had wiring issues... and prompted to scream at me every few mins... so the doo de doos are haunting me again!
4-2x4x20s
12-2x6x16s
12-2x6x10s
and a shit load of screws and here we are atm. the corner support boards are not straight but the walls and corners are level and square. so its coming along alright, the gf already planted some strawberries she got the other day as well.

I really need to haul the bikes down there one of these days

 

I'm trying to find a place that has spots to enjoy riding dirtbikes on road and off-road for us since me and the gf are gonna do a small vacation this weekend

 

Oil changed and tires rotated at 89k nothing new for it.

 

Now you make me want to cut the bumper like that

 

Haha the viper cut makes it look great! Loved mine with the US off-road winch mount bumper! Used that dang winch more for house work then anything else haha.

 

updated this information.

 

guess ill post in here with a bit of an update. ole truck is fine it hit 90k miles! and still being the work horse it is! poor thing got neglected on a bath for like two months.

we got a new pup her name is astra, she is a heeler mixed with Shepard super cute and loveable but annoying af lmao

sadly we had to put our old girl lilly down on friday last week... the cancer just sadly caught up to her and she couldnt walk and she was being stubborn and holding on... rip ole girl.

started working in the basement to make it into a gaming den in a sense and got a lot of work done on it in a few days.

the start of tearing out a wall and removing all the clutter and junk.

adding the foam boards for the insulation. (yes i know one spot wasnt finished i ran out of the glue!

and now one wall is up! we still need to add two studs as you can see from the red lines but opted to wait until the wall is up since its awkward around the electrical box.
more work to do but getting there!
the garden is thriving with lots of stuff growing so cant wait till most of the stuff is fully grown!

not pictured is the squash and red jalapenos but both of those are growing great!
i think thats about it?

 

Sorry to hear bout your pup, never easy. Condolences.

 

appreciate it.

 

welp still cant register this damn thing... the dealer has messed up 3 times now! when i demanded comps for this bs all i got was 100 bucks... so now i gotta go back again! to get shit sorted out... if you are near Missouri dont go to dells ever...

 

how can they mess up registration so bad??

 

oh ya you havent been following along in the moto thread here ill lay it out for you!

first!
when i bought the bike i told them not to ship the title since im 5-10mins from them! ill come and pick it up! they shipped it anyways... the title got lost in the mail but finally showed up two weeks later!

second!
so i went to register the bike and the finance guy wrote the wrong price on it and scribbled it out and "fixed it" so i had to go and get a bill of sale and notarized paper claiming there was no fraudulent business or bad intent.

third!
i took it back up that following weekend after the 4th of july and found out that copart never signed the title and dells never signed the title in the right spot they had me sign there so i was told the title is in a sense junk but could be fixed if we went this route. so we sent the title over night out to copart they signed it and they corrected the title is what i was told. i looked at the title and it looked good but i missed one part!

thirds .5
i also asked to be compensated since this has now been two months of this and the bike isnt registered... so that means fees that i will have to pay.. i was told they would cover the 55 bucks but that wasnt enough after going and spending hours at the damn dmv and wasting my time back and forth at the dealer i told them i wanted them to cover the registration cost/exhuast the title lady said that should be fine and i see no issue why we cant do that we need to make it right by you. i was then told by the sales manager they will not do that because they bought me a chain and sprocket and isnt that enough compensation? fyi that was done per a warranty... yes it was during the 30 day grace peroid on when the warranty started but it is in a sense still a warranty job... so i left that day annoyed and lied to by someone i thought was good and with 100 bucks for the store..

fourth!
i went to the dmv again! and was asked when i bought the vehicle? i told them back in may? on the 12th of this year why? welllll turns out the put the date as 5/21/12! so 10 years before the bike was built! (was also still in highschool in this time lmao). so another day waster another hour or so wasted at the dmv!

fifth!
i called today and talked with the title lady she told me it was her error and she is very sorry but she also knows that words honestly mean nothing at this point because of all the issues ive had and the lies i had from the sales manager and service guy (prior issues). i told her im done with the sales manager i want to speak to someone above him! turns out thats the owner and she is going to get into contact with him and tell him i want to meet at 4pm with her and him thats it... (including my gf) and we will sort this shit out. either fix the damn title and comp me for all this shit since ill have to go to the dmv again! or buy this damn bike back that you shouldnt have sold to start with! because of the incomplete title! with damn interest and all my payments ive made towards it im just done!


okay thats all of it sorry for a rant its been a lot and im just so fed up with this shit.

 

holy cow thats ridiculous. id have lost my shit a long time ago

 

Yup around 2

 

Agreed I should have but was trying to be patient since I liked the bike but as of today I'm done and they were working out the process for a buy back and they will in a sense black list me from coming to the dealer to buy again which tbh is fine by me! Give me my money and I'll leave and not come back I can find another bike...

 

wow what a pain!

guess we better start looking! time for new bike day 2!
