Idaho BS thread in the PNW

He's hardcore like that

 

Too bad you don't live closer. haha. I think I could do it, but I would feel better to have someone there that knows what they are doing to at least supervise the swap. haha.

Maybe I can talk Brant into coming over for some beer

Although I should probably go talk to him about the noise anyway, just to see if we can confirm the pinion bearing. I need to go buy some really cheap gear oil and just drop the diff I guess.

 

You are talking my language! I love to wrench.....stress relief from the usual paperwork. And I though selling Toyota-Subaru parts was going to be more hands on! LOL

 

So brady, have you guys determined if your diff is actually the issue and that it is basically screwed?

 

wow..thats really weird..

glad you weren't going super fast man

 

That was easy

I talked with Brant about an hour ago. He came up with an idea to diagnose the sound. We are going to put it on jack stands again and set the e-brake a little to simulate it pushing the weight of the truck and with an extra person there I will actually be able to crawl under it and listen to different parts. If we still don't find anything out, we will just pull the diff and see what we find. I've got my fingers crossed for pinion bearing I want those 4.88's

Edit: I just talked to the mechanic and he said he used all new stuff when he did it. He wants me to bring it back in for him to look at, but I will see what Brant and I come up with tomorrow.

 

Hey guys (and Lisa),

Anyone know of a good alternative to Microsoft word thats free. I realy dont feel like paying a shitload for a new copy.

 

Open Office.

I have been using it on my pc for about 4 years and Mac now too. Works great. Very similar

 

Thats what Im looking at now. Its essentially the exact same as far as word and excel? Is it compatible with MS too?

 

Yep, you just have to save as the file as a .doc and it'll go right in to MS word. Hell actually i think MS word just takes the OO docs now..idk.

But yes, they are like practically the same. Bit different interfaces and such but do the same stuff.

will take getting used to but after you do you'll be fine.

and its free, so can't hurt to try

 

Downloading now, thanks man.

Yea Ive been getting tired of the product key input deal opening on my MS. And I just managed to get into a online summer class so looks like I'll actually need a program that works lol.

How goes the truck work?

 

works good actually ha been using it like nothing happened, hell even took it off road once.

was going to go swap on my new fenders and clean out the new cab, but its raining like a bitch

will be interesting to see how the 2wd fenders line up lol

 

This is what I want to see. haha. Your tires already stuck way out beyond your fenders.

 

lol i know!

could be kinda cool

im gonna try to do it today.

 

You just thought your pickup was dirty after Moab. haha. Your tires are going to really splatter mud up the sides of the body now.

 

Just start cutting now..make sure they fit...hell keep cutting and put some 35s on now lol.

 

Moab was nothing dude lol

But shit will get covered on my windshield like never before thats for sure lol

 

I will. Im planning on Tubing the fire wall and trimming the fenders for future 35s..but also cause my 33s get cut up real bad as it is.
