Colorado B.S. Thread

I need to find something to do to it, I don't know if I want to paint it or plastidip it. What ever I go with I want to try and color match it to my truck.

 

Do you drive into the mountains in winter?

First trip up this winter after replacing my windshield, huge rock chip.

 

Come to Alaska and tell me about windshield problems. Nearly everyday I hit the Glenn Highway I'll hear a rock bounce off, most don't chip but I have a few already. And the hood is getting dinged up

 

Wrap your shit in bubble wrap.

 

X2 on this one.

When I bought my truck the windshield was cracked to hell. Waited till summer to replace it. Maybe 1.5 years on the new one and it's cracked to hell too. Not going to be too eager to replace this one.

 

I was up at Elmendorf from 05-08 my 92 Toyota Truck was cherry when I got there... and when I drove out in 09 (after a year in Korea), I had no clear coat on the hood (sister drove it for a year and didn't wash it at all during the winter I was in Korea) and countless chips, went through 5 headlights and 4 windshields...

I miss the $ I made pulling people out of the ditch on the glenn in snow storms... a good $500 made nightly at $50 a pop

 

I'm just gonna put a huge piece of sheet metal in the front haha

Yeah the rocks are terrible, especially since they don't use salt on the roads and only sand during the winter it makes it so much worse.

Speaking of Elmendorf, I sure do love their DFAC compared to ours haha.

I think I see more people in the ditches up here than I do back home in Colorado during a snowstorm. Then again the ice here is pretty bad with freezing rain, I might stud my duratracs next winter

 

Wrap someone's ride in bubble wrap..... Great prank tomorrow is the first.... Who lives close to me

 

well not only do they use sand but they spray it down with some sort of oil to make it stick since the snow there is so light and blows around... that shit will destroy your trucks finish if you don't get it off... I literally washed my truck twice a week when I was there and still had spots where it f'd up my pain...

I do miss it though...

 

That was for the people that failed the actually running push ups sit ups pull ups portion.

Which by the way I scored highest in my age group!

 

Damn... running pushup situp pullup.. sounds hard how do you push pull and sit while running?


seriously though what's the requirements? just curious

 

Its all points based off reps age and gender. Minimum passing points is 200.

If you don't get 200 points, you go through the obstacle course. If you pass the obstacle course you have to take the fitness test again in the 3rd quarter. If you passed the fitness test this time, you have the option to take it again in the 3rd but required to again in the 1st. If you fail fit test and obstacle course, you have to complete obstacle course monthly until passing. Its all convoluted but there's a 3 year testing period before administrative discipline is enacted.

 

I got a rock chip in my windshield while parked in front of my house. The gravel the snowplows lay down gets kicked up by passing cars. The chip whent from just that, to a horizontal crack across my entire windshield over the span of a few days when we had successive warm/cold days.

I didn't even drive my truck every day during that time.

In fact, I've never chipped/cracked my windshield while driving over 30 mph. I think some people are just luckier than others!

 

Yeah, I used to live off a gravel road , I know what you're saying. The paint dings were horrible.
And I agree with the luck thing too, I bought the truck with a crack all the way across the windshield but it's not in line of sight. No cracks or chips since I've owned it though, same with my workvan and it has an acre of windshield. Now that I say that it'll shatter tomorrow.

 

What is this for? ^^^^^^^^
