Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Awwww there so cute...my wife has 285s as well she has a front diff and transfer case too :/

 

Nitro gears have been great, especially with the 33's. Now that I'm at 35's it feels a little better than stock...

What did you get 4.56?

 

Painted my hood hinge brackets this evening. Ready to get the lights installed tomorrow.


Then the ex texted me. She apparently has realized that the grass is not in fact greener and would like to talk. Turns out the little shit stain that got in her head at work was much less than a perfect gentleman with her.

Told her I needed time to think about what I wanted and clear my head, in the mean time I'd still like to go smash the little cock **** face in.

 

Anybody locally want to buy my trail gear rock sliders? They are the welded on type. I want to get some with kick outs.

 

Wait, she left you to pursue another man and a week later is back? NO THANK YOU MAAM!

 

I'm not sure what the story is. After talking to her dad, so far it appears that she thought I broke up with her when she got pissed Sunday and I told her not to forget her shit when she left.

 

Not trying to sound like doctor Phil but...

Sounds like you two have a lot of underlying issues that dont get addressed much. Sounds like you guys are attracted to each other enough to ignore your incompatibilities but if you dont work them out, they will periodically come out of the closet and you're going to experience a lot of these "break ups" and "make ups."

Been there and done that and it really wasnt worth it...

 

My ex-wife taught me that years ago.

 

For those that have a regear. Where did you get it installed?

 

Yeah man, I feel for you. Ive been in that death spiral before...

Lots of shops do it. I would only trust ECGS though. Very good prices and the best quality work.

I would order the whole third member and do a swap (very easy for 1st gens, a little more diff for 2nd gens) and send your old third back for the core deposit.

 

I ordered my gears through easy Coast gear supply then had production off road do the install.

I was thinking about doing that. I just need to find a time where I can have my truck down for a week or so.

 

ECGS for sure. Those guys know their stuff and their comp diffs are badass.

 

21 years married to my high school sweetheart with two years of dating... I think that experience qualifies me to speak on these matters

Top Four Tips:
1) Communication is the key Gentlemen. Calm, honest, rational, open lines of adult two way communication. Not the blame game kind of comms either... that doesn't help. Trust me I've tried that
If you don't want to verbalize it, write her a letter - you can proof read it (not too much that it takes away) and women love that hand written letter about your feelings crap anyway. Just remember, she will keep that shit FOREVER so careful what you say in there.

2) Second is compromise, not always you and not always her. Remember a relationship is a joint effort. Both have to give a little... Can't expect one party to bend wills to fit the other. Having said that, you must stay true to yourself to be truly happy... pick your battles.

3) Recovery - Every relationship has bumps and lows... it's how you recover that shows the true character/strength of the relationship. See #1 & 2.

4) Lastly, no relationship is "perfect" and it does take work. Don't be too big a man to say You may not have even done anything wrong but she'll find something to attach it to-- see #1, 2 & 3.

Now, I'm not one that thinks every relationship works... sometimes they don't and that's fine too. Oil and Water kinda thing... You can shake the shit out of that oil and water in a jar, it may look mixed for a little while but let it sit a spell... they'll separate again.



That's all for today's lesson kids.
I charge in beer, so next time we're out you all owe me one -- and I ride home.
Just don't leave me at home alone if I'm drunk when you drop me off... my wife will be PISSED!!
I'll be peeling potatoes for a week

 

All I was going to say is remind her it's better to live on the roof than with a nagging woman, and it's her God given duty to respect you.

But you sure as he'll better cherish her back!

 

Thanks for all the advice guys.

Just doing my own thing for now and see how things unfold down the line.

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with that plan either!

 

wouldnt need it down for a week, just a weekend. u get the new ones, and u have like 3 weeks to a month to to send old ones back in or they charge you for the core charge
