    Argh I can't get off work. I'm already trying to avoid getting put on call for the weekend. I'm going to stick with my plan of leaving Friday after work for Hillsboro and hitching a ride with the crew that leaves McD's.

    Just had another thought - might be able to work an extra hour tomorrow and start Friday at 7am, then take off early. I'll see if that will go over with the boss and post back here.

    Hey guys I picked up a pamphlet on taking a motorcycle class. They say I need to buy my own helmet, so I'll probably try to find something cheap on craigslist to just take the class with. Anything I should care about or just get something random that would fit like this?

    If you plan on riding why don't you just buy a helmet you plan on using?

    I got the C rated. I know they are fewer plies than the E but thought they would be softer and provide a slightly smoother ride on road. This is true right?

    Mike, Zach never reads -_- texting him right now..I asked when can I stop by tomorrow to check out the flag to see if the tail gate method works. Told him I get off at 630 am and I'm usually in bed by 10am. He replies telling me to stop by at 11.....:smack:

    So I changed my front brake pads yesterday now the truck pulls a bit to the driver side as I hit the brake..any ideas?

    Also now that my truck is lifted I can see the underside of my sliders much easier. Quite a bit of paint/primer has come off from chips and what not on the portions closer to the back.

    Any one recommend a stronger perhaps rubberized paint product?

    Hell if I know, probably large. The circumference of my head is 23" if that helps (I had a shoelace and a measuring tape handy, lol).

    Well, starting from scratch I'm assuming there's a lot of purchasing. If I went new I would probably go with a Fly Trekker, but hard to compare $150 with something that might do the job great for $25-$50. Usually when I start something I either research the snot out of it or end up later on saying, "crap, wish I had done that instead"

    Maybe need to re-bleed. I think you'd feel different stuff if rotors were warped.
    My dad had this problem, but found that the driver side had 1 ton brakes and the left side had 1/4 ton. Go go Dodge factory quality control :rolleyes:

    You are correct. I have E but would rather have C





    I would just keep hitting it with black rattle can. Easier

    Line-X or similar is about the best thing you are gonna get, but scraping something hard against another hard object means the paint isn't going to win no matter what. Dad's got a few chunks out of his Line-X from a fridge that wanted revenge when we pushed it off the tailgate

    PRO TIP :)p): use a piece of cardboard as a shield for overspray
