NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Nice. I continued trying to get my crank bolt off of my 86 pickup to no avail.

Have tried:
Heat
PB Blaster
Hitting with hammer
Knocking off frame w/ starter
4' Breaker bar
Uh... I forget what else. It won't budge.


I have also accepted defeat and will re-assemble and take it to a shop.

 

I have officially done nothing to my truck this weekend. However, I am starting to organize the garage so I can park in there.

I've got house things to do for a while, so I'll be busy doing that versus the truck. Minus the tires. Those will go on next week.

 

Ha, I haven't been able to drive my truck for almost 7 months.

 

Try looking for some stuff called freeze off. We've been having really good luck with it.
It might be time to buy an impact wrench as well.

 

I'll let you borrow big blue.

 

Thats so awesome lol

 

ok, wow, this new forum version is gonna take some getting used to. i grew up with vBv3.x and this is like version 6... oh boy.

 

My only complaint so far is everything is to...bright. to much white. I just feel like the posts aren't as defined and just sort of blend together. Maybe a dark theme would help. I'll get used to it but that's my one complaint so far so pretty minor!

O and why is it no where carries 2 gauge terminals by me! Couldn't find any anywhere. Had to order some online I think my mail lady hates me since I e been getting packages everyday lol

 

They are working on more themes.
The thing they need to do most is have a theme that has darker borders at the top of every new post to differentiate between posts.
I've also noticed the signature area is HUGE.

 

Like lol

 

Yeah, I don't much care for change... The old forum worked just fine.

 

Weird, hopefully itll grow on me, wonder if posting pics will be less hassle

 

I don't understand what was wrong with the old format, I didn't see a reason to change it.

The postmaster called me today to apologize for my "misplaced" items (shock relocates). Seems that the mail carrier either delivered them to the wrong address or left them on the wrong door step. She doesn't remember because it was back on April 10th. They are claiming its my fault for not notifying them sooner, but BAMF didn't send me a tracking # to follow. I had no idea they where misplaced until last Thursday when I called Jerry to say WTF is up with my three month wait on this order. He says, oh sorry, I forgot to send a tracking info and you received them on the 10th it says. I'm waiting to hear back from him for replacements, this sucks!

 

The change happened because the old software was no longer being supported. It was either upgrade or die kind of thing.

 

Some pictures from Saturday... Weather was kinda crappy so I didn't want to walk around with my camera getting soaked...

Jerry emailed me back, said he will ship another set out ASAP and will take care of filing a claim with USPS. I can't ask for more than that.

 

Pictures look good man!! That last one looking down the valley is awesome.

Thats good it all worked out man. Hopefully it doesnt happen again!!

 

Wow thats awesome Mike! And nice pictures for sure Alex!!

 

That's good. It's no fault of yours whatsoever. It's between him failing to give you info and the post office screwing things up.

 

Well, my dealings with wheel spacers has been interesting.
I talked with Been and he said if he could do it over, he would have done 1.25". OK, so that gave me bora or spidertrax (wish I had discussed earlier, I passed on some good deals). I went with the spidertrax because they had prime shipping and were $25 cheaper. Once I placed the order they charged me the extra $25 anyway based on taxes, so price came out the same. Seems a bit dodgy.

Anyway, I got the front set on and did a test drive. Wow, what a difference! Almost all my body roll is fine, and I'm still on the blown out OMEs. Gotta say thanks to @BoatRacer for the suggestion that I get these.
