New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Oh here's the Corolla. Hit hard enough that neither of his front doors would open. Bounced me into a Ranger but neither truck was damaged. If it's totaled, this guy might be buying a truck to replace it.

 

For reals. I swear one day my CB shall be tuned!

 

That is oogly. Coincidentally, my truck was rear-ended by a Corolla when I was living in Tucson. My truck did not fair as well. The bed buckled where she bounced off the spare.

Glad you're doing ok.

 

Silas, if you got time this weekend can you stop in and walk me through what I would need for 35s? (and, no, this doesn't mean SAC time.)

 

Tom, did you know TrailGear makes a 3-link kit?

Edit: Read this for an idea of what you have in store to fit 35s

What do u have on your truck now?

Also, I will be heading up to my house in Wyoming tomorrow night and will be away from internet for atleast a week so if anyone true to pm me, I will not get it unless I decide to head into town or something...

 

Thanks, Chad. I'm not sure if I'm getting bored or warming up to chopping this thing up into a true trail rig. I think it'd be fun but somewhere in there the truck will become a tank to drive.

Scott, 33s right now. Technically, 285/75s but close enough. I'd be going to 315/75s which is actually measures out to 34.6".

I should really finish this first stage then work on the camping setup for adventuring.

Drive safe and enjoy getting ack to the wilds of America. Let me know when you make it back.

 

Blair, just realized you are only pulling the axle shafts. You won't need the RTV and possibly the gear oil. Should just be undoing the brakelines and 4 bolts atthe axle housing ends. It may get a little messy with gear oil coming out the end but could try it without draining the diff. Let me check what the manual says. Might want to just replace the diff oil while you're doing all this.

And we could just jack up one side at a time to keep the oil from spilling out.

Sometimes I over think things.

 

It's because you're so very smrat.

 

d'oh!

 

Speaking of overthinking, can't wait to go out in the garage and overfix some things later today.

 

My garage was built in 1943; cars must have been a lot narrower then because you can't drive in to it and then open your door to get out.


Your garage is about the size of my house.

 

Model T, bay-bee!

 

I'm officially out in the garage overfixing my truck if anyone wants to drop in.

 

I lied. I'm at Octopus getting the interior steam cleaned and being ogled by 50 year old MIDNWTT.

Seriously, some major lust in her eyes. Felt like I needed to rub some lotion on its skin.

 

Mom I Didn't Nom With Two Titties?
