Could always get another. ..

 

Why not have them road force balanced?

 

Ok. I've never heard of that. I just googled it. I'll get that done when I get some spare cash.

 

Didnt see the original post/problem. But my new Duratracs from Goodyear were balanced there twice, still had a wobble at speed. Had them roadforce balanced at Toyota, problem solved.

 

Thanks, and sorry again for blowing up on here. By the way, I got it.

It's amazing what can be found just hanging on a random shelf.




25 pounds of oil soak later..

Now to figure out how to get the dumb thing in the basement.

 

Dibs on front bumper if your motor shits the bed and you part it out.

Sorry, too soon?

(I kid. I saw you got things squared away)

But seriously...

 

Just push it. It works every time

 

Yeah, and make sure Leo is on the bottom.

Got it

Barely

 

Cannibals.

 

Good lord that thing is ancient lol

 

Went on a hike today on a beautiful day in the foothills.



It was mostly ice and I slipped and busted my ass four times. Goddammit, nature.

Right before that, I had awaken to find a flat tire on my truck. Having left my hi lift at home, desperate measures were taken.



With the tire supposedly repaired at a nearby shop, my friend and I reinstalled the tire only to find a leak on the sidewall. We quickly torqued the lug nuts and rolled to his shop to throw on the spare (his shop is nearby and would have been more efficient).

After lifting the truck, my friend stood there and stared at the wheel. He realized that not only did we actually forget to torque the nuts, we had also left the lug key on as we drived away. Goddammit, tire.

I'm now safe at home and I'll take care of the tire tomorrow. This is about to be cracked open because unlike certain things, beer never lets me down:



I love you, beer.

 

cleaned out storage closest stumbled on this behind the dry wall cut out....hmm I wonder if I have hit a jackpot on Super Bowl XXXII? I don't think I have seen anything like this before.

• Super Bowl news paper with all the highlights and pictures
• Rare envelope with Super Bowl logo, final score and Vince Lombardi stamp
• John Elway Super Bowl MVP placard

 

...and $free.99

And keeping the kids and their videogames in the basement =priceless

It would've been worth sacrificing Leo if it came to it.

I'll tell you what though. If/when it quits working, it's coming up in pieces.

 

Probably weighs 450 lbs too.

 

It tried to kill me at one point but we managed. By the time it was in place my heart was beating pretty good!

 

Sorry, I was at an RC car race all weekend. I didn't have time for internets as I was helping run the front counter. At least you got it sorted out, not to thrilled about hearing squealing, then stalling though.

 

I should have done the RC race myself, that's more my speed these days.
Engine seems fine, it didn't knock when I started it. I think the squeal may have been air/oil blowing by that O-ring, kind of like a kazoo. When I drained the pan, there was about a quart in it, enough to fill 1/3 of a Folgers coffee can. So I caught it before it fully drained.
