New England B.S. Thread

Good to know

 

New sneakers... A nice Buckstop bumper would go well with that!

 

Forget pizza. Get your butt to legal seafoods and walk across the street and take your date to one of those IMAX movies. No need to dress up for either, also it's gotta be 50 and sunny down by the water.

 

x2, except not the one in Boston. It's nice but parking sucks and it's a bitch getting in and out of Boston. There's a Legal Sea Bar in Legacy place. They have a little different menu, a little more casual but still has great seafood. Then hit Patriot Place for a movie on the way home

 

so got back from looking at cars for my sis, lady we went to was sketchy and didn't say why she was selling it, car rode like crap and wasn't maintained like she said it was

 

Can I jack up the rear at any point along the axle? Just not by the rear diff right?

 

I do and I haven't had any issues

 

As far as I've ever been told, yes, including by the rear diff. I usually try to get the jack toward the outside but structurally, the axle should support the truck at any point along it.

 

Yeah I do the diff for lifting the whole rear of the truck, and right under the spring perch for an individual side. I just make sure that I get as much surface area on the jack pad when I lift it so it doesn't slide or pop out.

 

congrats Billy!

Double check but Legal had one in the Braintree plaza as well

 

Cool. I'll have to get some wheel chocks for the front tires then.

 

Always gave notice at my jobs, though it sucked when I left the supermarket. The manager I really wanted to give it to and tell him to put it in his ear got transferred the day before...so close

 

Yeah, definitely chock the wheels. I also usually put it in 4wd and throw it in park if both rear tires will be off the ground.

 

Town Spa over Lynwood? I'm not so sure about that. Town Spa has the worst business model as a restaurant, but the pizza is good enough to overlook it.

In that area you can't go wrong with the Foxboro Mandarin (right over the line, right off of 106). If I'm craving Chinese food and feel like going out, I'll make the half hour drive for their General's Chicken. Sure it's a local townie dive but they're cheap, the plate's huge and good.

Billy, if you're feeling seafood, Skipjack's at Patriot Place isn't half bad. Typically I'll stick with Bar Louie because I'm usually cheap, but I've done a few date nights there and the food is great. I'm drawing a blank for other good places to eat that are closer to your way.

 

Well, I need the rear off of the ground, and have the tires rotate. I swear one of my rear tires has a slight wobble to it. I want to find out if it's the tire, rim, hub or my sanity.

 

My bet is on sanity

 

Possible. Rather test to make sure than let it go if there actually is an issue.

 

Thanks guys. Lisa works Saturdays at her second job and had a bad day and a bad week at her first job. Some of her friends got laid off from her first job and she has been on the phone since she got home and isn't in the mood to go out. So chinkie food and cocktails at home. Works for me and I save money

 

I would take Lynwood over the spa . But the spa is right down the road from billy . and the spa has gone down hill over the years . There prices are stupid high now too.

 

I always use the rear diff/pumpkin to jack up the rear. If I am just doing one side I use the spring perch. I don't like to jack on the rear axel tube.
