New England B.S. Thread

Hey Rob,sounds like fun!
Just got the front skid this morning,have to paint and mount it tomorrow and see if the transmission skid will match up. which it doesn't look like it will.
130 lbs. for the bumper and another 70 lbs. for the skid ,holy sh!t!, i'm gonna need 886's!
Friggin tree branch caused about $1600. in damage!

 

Yea bumper, winch, skids and sliders are gonna weigh a lot. The ATO will bolt right on. Not sure how the AllPro skid mounts though. The bumper weighs 130lbs? Holy shit that's heavy. I know the ATO weighs 73lbs by itself.

Wow I just reread what I wrote, I'm all over the place today. Can't wait, keep thinking about the trip!

 

No sliders yet! Talk about waiting till last minute. Should be here sometime today.

 

Got just about everything painted for the tire rack system . 2pieces left but ran out of paint . Finish up tommorow morning and mount it Wedenday . Start filling my box with tools and supplies and a quick oil change and I'm ready to hit the road

 

Your sliders were about 2 miles from my house.
Maybe i'll win a winch in Rausch! i want one, been looking at a Superwinch Talon (just looking)
Can't wait to see this tire rack your making John!
I'm gonna mount a few more D-rings in the bed and strap the spare down with ratchet straps.

 

It's nothing to fancy and it's way over built . But when all the metal is free I can't complain . I have about $30 into it . Lmao

And just looking turns into buying one for you lately lol

 

So for the guys that are not on the Rausch thread and might want to know, MY SLIDERS ARE IN!!! If in case you can't tell, I am very excited!

 

Very nice now get them on and take some pics

 

I'm so jealous of you guys Going on this trip lol. I wanted to go so bad but with work I can't take off. Plus I'm not rich like you old folks. I don't have money for sliders and skid plates. Maybe next year I'll go.

 

Whats this old people shit? I am only 28.

 

Haha. I'm just kidding

 

Yeah, but to a college kid, we're like senior citizens.

I'm the same age as you and had an 'old' moment the other week. I was talking to a co-worker about the Roast of David Hasslehoff and our college intern piped up "Who the hell is he?". She honestly had no clue who he was. Kids these days...

 

I don't even know what that is haha. I know who the guy is but that's it lol

 

It's the Comedy Central roasts. They basically a group of comedians and close friends rip apart a celebrity and his/her career. You should look them up, they're hilarious. They roasted Hugh Hefner, Pamela Anderson, Charlie Sheen, there's been a ton of them.

 

Luckily I work with a group of 50+ Year old guys so they always make me feel young .

And to help you out with your 'just looking'

You're 'looking' for a winch, now there's a group buy. Coincidence, I think not!

 

I have never heard of Titan Winches. I will add that I love my Talon 9.5 and everyone in NTC can't believe how fast it is. Plus when I had problems with it I just dropped it off in Connecticut and they shipped it back all fixed for free.

 

I wish I was at home working on my shit.
