2013 Bc Mountain Sring Meet

Oh and Craig your cleaning kit is in that photo too

 

Hey Fred thanks for letting us come up and fuck around! Always fun. Thanks to everyone who cooked awesome food. Always a good time hanging out with you guys.

I looked for my spare tire again yesterday and never found it, so if anyone ever sees it or the trasharoo let me know.

 

lesson learned...
do not use cordless impact guns for installing lug nuts
just ask fred

 

thanks for coming bud, im gonna talk to my locals and tell them if they see it there is a reward for it.

yeah especially when all 4 wheels almost fall off...

 

I don't see the relevance.. They were tighter than I do with a breaker bar.

Spending half an hour trying to get up that stupid dirt pile and smashing my spare tire on the ground must've broken the lug nuts loose and then 50 miles of gravel roads loosened them up some more. The lesson learned is to check the lug nuts while wheeling, and to put a bike lock on the spare to hold it to the tire carrier if it happens again.

 

Josh probably happened cause they came from a first gen that had a recall due to failing spare tire mount

 

Lol that must be it.


Big thanks to Ben for giving me one of his old big horns so I have a matching spare again. Just need to get a wheel for it.

 

he's alive?

 

Cordless impacts are fine to use, as long as its big enough. I know of a lot of race teams that use them.

 

any hot red bell peppers??

 

In the fajitas but that was it

 

Bacon wrapped jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese.

And what about loctite on the spare tire carrier lugs?

 

Loctite.?. Or just use 85ftlb of torque

Snicker


I lost a lug driving to ure nc. Had no clue. Jandrews spotted it.

 

Idk if it wouldve helped. I'm not a huge proponent of loctite since shit siezes up so much around here. I usually just use anti sieze and tighten it down real good. I think I'll be adding some sort of a strap to hold the tire no matter what.

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe loctite acts as an anti-seizing agent since it fills the gaps and prevents air from getting in. And I hope you don't use anti seize on your lug nuts, you never ever ever ever use anti seize on lug nuts.

 

Wut? Loctite is the opposite as anti seize. It fills the threads with glue.


Sure you can. I put a dab on mine all de time.



Josh how many lug nutz does your rack have holding the tire?

 

There are three.

 

Hmmmm.... Had three holding me tire for a few years and me lugz never got loose.

*ponders to self*

 

From permatex web site for blue loctite. "Protects threads from corrosion." What do you think anti seize is doing?

Seriously, don't put anti seize on your lugs, they are taken off constantly, there's no reason for it and reduces the applied torque value.

Edit: Sorry had that backwards, you end up putting more force on your studs with anti seize making them more likely to snap.

 

me too...
