i can't get stuck first if i don't get there first

 

your reputation precedes you...

Mark dry ice will last as long as regular ice and will keep frozen foods frozen for a while and won't make a mess like Ice will. Put frozen foods in the bottom of the cooler then cardboard then dry ice then cardboard again and your food you want to keep cool. However DONT put it in the cab, unless you want to die. I becomes CO2 when it "melts"

 

Isn't the poll for who will break down first? Not who will get stuck first.

Dry ice is frozen CO2 (carbon dioxide). It is an inert gas. In fact, ~1% of the earths atmosphere is made up of CO2. From wikipedia: While generally nontoxic, the outgassing from it can cause asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in confined locations.

Adam, were you thinking of Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO is poisonous to us and can kill you or make you very ill if you breathe enough of it.

 

Ok, so ill get dry ice for the the parishables the night before I leave, and regular ice for the drinks in a seperate cooler and just get some more halfway through the week, and just eat the good food in the beginning of the week and eat progressivly shittier foor as the week goes on lol

And monte, don't feel bad, ben is in second behind you

 

They will both kill you. Exhibit A: has been highlighted for your convenience.
Exhibit B: Carbon monoxide will kill you too.


Mark don't put the cooler in the cab of truck just to be safe, you don't want to pass out behind the wheel. I don't want my O/O buddy to get hurt

 

earths atmosphere is actually somewhere closer to .04% CO2

Composition of dry atmosphere, by volume[2] ppmv: parts per million by volume (note: volume fraction is equal to mole fraction for ideal gas only, see volume (thermodynamics)) Gas Volume Nitrogen (N2) 780,840 ppmv (78.084%) Oxygen (O2) 209,460 ppmv (20.946%) Argon (Ar) 9,340 ppmv (0.9340%) Carbon dioxide (CO2) 394.45 ppmv (0.039445%) Neon (Ne) 18.18 ppmv (0.001818%) Helium (He) 5.24 ppmv (0.000524%) Methane (CH4) 1.79 ppmv (0.000179%) Krypton (Kr) 1.14 ppmv (0.000114%) Hydrogen (H2) 0.55 ppmv (0.000055%) Nitrous oxide (N2O) 0.3 ppmv (0.00003%) Carbon monoxide (CO) 0.1 ppmv (0.00001%) Xenon (Xe) 0.09 ppmv (9×10−6%) (0.000009%) Ozone (O3) 0.0 to 0.07 ppmv (0 to 7×10−6%) Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 0.02 ppmv (2×10−6%) (0.000002%) Iodine (I2) 0.01 ppmv (1×10−6%) (0.000001%) Ammonia (NH3) trace


also getting close!!!

 

I'm out
































































Packing my stuff. I hate packing.

 

go grab your UCA and shake it as hard as you can if it clunks you found the problem

 

its not hard to change on a weekend , a shop shouldnt rape u too hard

 

It's a first gen and it's a bitch plus I don't have to told to get it out Sorry ben

 

a catastrophic failure would mean the BJ snapping and that's pretty difficult to do.

 

That's different, he said his TIE rod joint broke which cause the collateral damage. Either way if you breka an UCA or LCA it's going to be a bitch to get you back to camp.

 

I'm glad you are so concerned for my safety And i wouldn't put it in the cab even if it was full of magical pixie dust...where is there room for 2 huge ass coolers on an x cab mini truck?

nobody cares

 

you know what i mean.

good thing your baby sitters will be in moab.

 

Ben, I will have spare LBJs with me if the worst happens.

Why not pick up one UBJ as a spare for piece of mind. Looks like Toyota OEM is only $32 ea. So Autozone ones will be even less. These are not side specific so can be used on either side.

Between that and your imminent strut failure to the spacer lift you have a rolling metal death trap there!

 

I'll be with you for half of the drive Ben. I'll follow not so close behind. i bet you can get a LBJ and a UBJ for 35 bucks at auto zone or orileys

 

you have two options Fix it or don't.

the part may or may not fail

so in all reality either way you go it's a 50/50 chance. flip the coin.

 

So what exactly can go wrong if the bj fails? I assume the leaking means it will run out of lube and it will seize right? and based on the location I would think that would mean you would probably lose steering and flex/droop on that wheel or bend something?

 

worst case is the spindle falls off the truck at speed and you lose control and cause damage to other parts of the truck or other drivers. best case is gets sloppy and wears out a tire
