Ben...get your truck back first man!

 

How's the NW treating ya guys?

 

anyone around Seattle need some Action Packers and want to split the cost with me? I'm looking to pick up both the 24 gal and 8 gals. Home Depot sells a 4-pack of the 8 gals for $91.85 so it would be 2 for $46. the 24 gallon 4-pack is about $140 before tax but there is no free shipping so i'd wait for a deal on those. pm me if interested.

Actually got a call from John today and they were getting close to finishing up. He said it will be ready Monday.

 

Fuck me. I use the correct tool and I still do damage. I just can't win. I got the passenger side done. After the ball joint finally separated (using a ball joint separator tool) I got everything out and put back in. I even got the bolt positioned like it was oEM so I could properly torque it.

Then I went to the drivers side. Where the squeak actually is. Used the ball joint tool again and it fucked 2 threads up. Wasn't able to the castle but back on. So out came the demel for some delicate work. Finally got the but back on but I didn't even attempt to get the arm off.

Contemplating ordering a new ball joint from LR and just beating the old one loose. Supposedly I can change the sleeves without breaking the ball joint apart, but when I stopped I was tired and frustrated. So thought that before I break anything I better just stop for now. Will try again next week

 

Would anyone be interested in a FIRE SUPPRESION SYSTEMS for are trucks.

usually would be run in the engine bay but can be adapt to anywhere really.

A little info;

the Fire Bottle System is an on-board fire suppression system designed for most types of race cars. It’s mounted in the car with tubing and nozzles pointed at the driver. In the event of an on-board fire, the driver pulls a T-handle that immediately releases a chemical calledhalon. The fire is extinguished quicker than conventional emergency personnel could reach the car.

“Halon is a liquid that turns into a gas,” Skaggs explained. “It’s the same product that’s used in aviation and by NASA. We were looking for something that could put a fire out, but that wouldn’t harm a driver if it was inhaled.”

 

Hey guys. I put on a new sticker today. I have a bad habit of over-analyzing looks and whatnot, and was hoping for honest opinions. Too many? Too much color maybe? Remember, it's a girls truck, so if it looks gay...well duh. But if I'm going it look dumb driving around town, I would like to know before hand

 

Looks great. I don't see a problem.

 

are you still drivin around w/o a bumper

 

I think that Oregon sticker would loo sweeter if it were on your top left tailgate and leave the pink one as is

BAAAHAHAHA!

 

True shit

 

Mitch, let me know if you need an extra hand. I've never worked with UCA ball joints but I rebuilt my camburg uca's last summer. Bushings, sleeves, uni balls, all changed out.

 

I'll let you know. I've been told I can change the sleeves without taking the spindle off. I might try that.

Otherwise I'm almost to the point of ditching the LRs and getting uniballs

 

What kind of price? I would love to have a fire suppression system, but damn college tuition! haha.

 

Cool, let me know man.

Yo Zach! My cousin and his wife signed up for TM today, we now have 5 on Team Graci-Ass I'm going to try and recruit this girl that works at the gym to join if I see her tomorrow

Jamison, you should join Zach and I on this event since you'll be down here on weekends Sunday, August 10th! Mark your calendar!

 

I forget if you have mentioned this. Are you guys camping down there or going to drive down the morning of?

 

I'm meeting up with Zach down there on Saturday after I get off work. You're staying out there the weekend as well?

 

Lindsey, on your truck, the stickers aren't balanced. Either add another one on the lower right, similar in size to the Oregon, or pull the Oregon off. As for the colors, do what you like, but before putting stickers on, use some scotch tape to out it on temporarily then step back and look at it. Makes it easier to move stuff around as well to find what you think is the best location.

I will drive out Saturday, and back home Monday. I booked a 2 bed hotel down toward the area.

Jamisyn, you should sign up for Tough Mudder. It is fun, and there is beer involved (but not until after the course has been run).
