New England B.S. Thread

I need to learn how to weld. The guy im working for is an amazing welder. He claims he will teach me someday First im going to get some lessons on doing some professional paint jobs with a HPLV gun. Maybe ill have the skills to colormatch those bumpers for you guys someday

 

Driving around on broken leafs is beginning to hurt me. 2.5 leafs on the drivers side and 1.75 leafs on the passenger side

 

My leafs came in today

 

The Icons with the CDC valves do the same job...the 2ndaries that I'm getting have the adjusters

Fixed now

 

Don't poke the bear

 

My rears are all broken lmao. Did you get a full leaf pack

 

Mike, you around? Ordering some colormatch spray cans...I've learned my lesson and wont do duplicolor again. I think you recommended paintscratch.com, have you tried automotivetouchup.com? I know superwhite is hard to match but i am hoping for better results with MGM (skeptical) i am also going to try a 2k clearcoat in a can. Ganna re-do my grill and finally finish that 2012 satoshi i did.

 

Someday... I haven't satisfied the mod bug in awhile, and i would love to do a suspension upgrade, but i think my next step is going to be armor.

 

Took my li'l green taco out Monday night for a Chinese food pickup, after rechecking nuts n' bolts. She tracked straight when I let her free wheel and there was zero pulling when I stomped the brakes freewheeling. No bad noises or vibes either. Took it to Firestone Tuesday for the lifetime align and told the service advisor I needed to tell the service associate about the ucas and how the Heims worked. He came and got me and took me onto the floor and when he looked at my hardware he was like:
"That's a lot of money there, what are you gonna do with this truck?" I told him "Have a nice smooth ride offroad." He asked about the settings and I told him go to factory specs. When they rolled the truck back and forth in the rack and saw the initial readings the service advisor was like "These numbers are almost dead nuts" and I was like:

"HUH?!?"
So he was like "Who installed this?" And I was like:
"Why, me now that you ask"
Then they gave me this after they finished:

And I was like:

The end
But I'm still kind of concerned about the pitch of the control arms. I'm going to send pics to Icon and SDHQ to ask their advice.

 

Best alignment story ever

 

^LOL

 

Everyone seems to be getting lifts, leaf packs, and armor. I'm jealous. Looks like I'm gonna need to hop on the band wagon and order some goodies

 

I'd start with the turning-a-midsized-SUV-into-a-compact-car mod

 

Very nice job Cam! Alex, you're trucks is growing up so fast

 

Nope AAL

 

i used automotivetouchup.com there black sand pearl was pretty dead on . and pearls are tough to match . i was a happy customer

 

nice thanks. metallic paints are probably hard to match also. either one will probably be fine, and better than duplicolor hopefully.

 

All pooh has six bolts onto the stock bumper mounts, and then five on each side that ties into the lower bracket.

Can't wait to check it out when you head north

 

Oh yeah, I'm going to NH this weekend. Who wants the bug thingy?

 

chris does, but I have it. to bad I couldn't have met you in Middletown last weekend. I would go wheeling Saturday, but I wouldn't want to go that far north
