**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

I bet you'd love to see my face even more as it gets "processed"

 

The head is supposed to be bigger than the shaft, that shit looks wrong.

Oh yeah, welcome new guy! Hey, weigh in on the weirdness factor of that penis, willya?

 

It should have said, "thanks for your continued support. You are now a Platinum member!"

 

I say we plan a trip up there on a weekend over the summer..I might be able to convince my girl to go

 

X2. Can hit all the wineries to stop their winering. They're pretty good though.


I've been around up at Lake Leelanau however you spell it. Where's that in relation?

 

that,s where I work.

 

I'll pass!!!!

 

x2 had the same thought when I saw it!

Wow, only just joined the thread and you're already enthusiastically making a pass at Noodle's oddly shaped peen.. You'll fit right in!

 

Says the one who ordered from me.

 

Nice. I work just by the city hall

 

Who am I, Johnny Garmin? I dunno.....?

 

I thought it was Mark Garmin. Are you related to Johnny?


But yeah I was way off. 8.5 hours away.

 

@MeefZah I rly hope your prediction isn't accurate

 

That your truck is out of service?

 

Yep, I tried multiple fastener companies but none have the correct metric bolts for my application. Also, their SAE sizes wont do as my application necessitates a level of accuracy that means compensating with SAE sizes is out of the question. I am now stuck waiting on an order for new shackles (I only need the hardware, but buying the shackles is the only means to that end.) I'm afraidd that the likelihood of said shipment arriving on Wednesday is quite low, and that is the latest date they could arrive that would still afford me sufficient time to acquire an alignment before the RRG trip.

Fuck, you were right. I was hoping you wouldn't be..

 

I think there is more SAE than metric on my truck.. But I really give no fucks cause it ain't no mall crawler

 

I don't mind using SAE in place of metric, yet there are certain applications where that is not feasible. I can't use SAE for my shackle hanger bolt because the difference between metric and SAE at that large of a size is too monumental to be negligible as it would be with smaller sizes. Also, none of the fastener suppliers in Ohio carry the size of metric bolt that I need with partial thread... if I go with full thread I will chew through the bushings within a week or so.

 

Unless your bushings are different, there is a metal sleeve that the bolt goes through and doesn't contact the actual bushing. So idk what you are talking about

 

Bummer.

Maybe there's a lesson here about procrastination?

 

Yes, and the SAE bolt would either be too large to fit through said sleeve or it would be too narrow. The metric, on the other hand, would be fully threaded which is a no go. Furthermore, the hanger bolt for the shackle does not have the metal sleeve that you speak of, it has bushing on bolt contact. There is no size of SAE to fit those bushings, and I can not get the right size of metric without spending almost as much on the bolts washers and nuts as I would spend on a brand new greaseable shackle kit.

Believe me, I've looked at it from every angle, and the head is too small for the shaft. "Just the tip" is supposed to be greater than an extension of the shaft...
