Texas BS Thread

Wow my phones Internet speed picked up a lot as soon as the game started. Guess I'm one of the few people that don't care and am on my phone..

 

I put the sway bar back on this weekend after having it off for almost a year. We didn't put it back on after we installed my lift so I've never felt how the truck drove with the lift and a sway bar.

It's an incredible difference. Damn thing handles like a sports car now. Extremely well mannered on the highway too. Very big improvement in driving feel. I didn't realize how big a difference it made.

 

I may have given mine to the neighbor to bring to the scrap yard. Oh well, I haven't used it in 2 years.

 

I plan on taking mine off to go wheeling and such but I know I can't go until sometime in late March so I decided to put it back on for now. I couldn't remember which was the left and right side so kept flipping it around like an idiot lol.

 

Damn thing is heavy too. You're under the truck by your self just moving it around and you're like, "Ahhh, there we go....wait, shit...*flip it around*...oh that's much better...shit *turns around*"

I did manage to get it all back together on my own though. Had to use some mad bruce lee skills to hold one side up with my foot while bolting up the other side.

 

I have been known to use ratchet straps for such occasions.

 

I prefer bailing wire

 

So I get a call the other night about 11pm and a guy I know says one of his buddies is stuck in the mud where the lake was "dried up". Needless to say I didn't wanna deal with that mess...so i let em borrow my tow straps.

Next day they bring me back 2 brand new tow straps. They snapped my 20000lbs tow straps trying to pull this f250 out that was sunk down to the doors in mud. Both the f250 and a recovery vehicle Are still down there waiting for it to dry up. Soo glad I didn't go

 

Where? I want to go see

 

What are you scared of? You have a locker.

 

Main street in the colony

And they were put there til 3am. Screw that

 

A shovel can do serious work in such situations. It may suck but very effective and less chance on breaking anything from the force of pulling while the mud is suctioned on the truck.

 

They were digging for 3 hours. Its gonna take a tractor to get that thing out

 

Dude, I want to go out there and look man. Either that or I'm holding you accountable for pictures. How on earth do you break a 20,000lb tow strap?

 

Didn't learn their lesson eh?

 

Well it was an old strap that was pretty beat up. I doubt it would have taken more than 10k to break it

 

I have yet to get my Taco stuck to the point where I wasn't able to get out on my own. That being said, I did buy a recovery strap not too long ago "just in case".

 

Then you haven't really been wheeling yet

 

Let me have it next time we go to Bridgeport.
