HomerTaco's big old bucket o’ bolts build

Where's Homer?

 

Liz, I actually called Banin's today to try and order the replacement wheel locally. I bought one from them before & they matched the online price. Today they told me they are no longer available and that I should come in & buy a whole new matching set as i will not find a replacement. 5 min later I had one ordered from 3 of the different sites I found them on.
Last time I bother calling them.

Went to see Rogue One again - this time with Bon & both the kiddos hence my absence.

I know of one member who runs the Hutchinson wheel: @MrGrimm
Dean has an inspiring build thread if you have not had the opportunity to check it out I highly suggest it.
Fantastic product but not within my budget tolerance.

On another note the diff is already on its way back with new unbroken 4.56 gears - ECGS is incredibly fast. They informed me that they only replaced a pair of O-rings in the locker. Fortunately the ARB was undamaged when the gears failed.

If Fed-Ex is quick I may even be able to install it Sunday.

 

That was my last visit. I only went to say hi to Dave, Stacy got wind and sat me down behind the desk to look. I still never got paid when I "worked" there. Smh, it's a shame. They worked with me to budget my lift wheels and tires when I got them.

Thanks for the heads up, gonna go stalk him now.

Also. Damn you. I haven't seen it yet. May take myself on a date Sunday.

 

BROKEN?! WAT?!!!!!!!

 

Grenaded Diff - no big deal really Mason.

 

Concert front row experienced.

 

lol. I actually still have some components from the sound system that was in my 1st gen.
I'm happy with it - spent many long solo drives with good tunes for company.

 

These are wicked cool, but they're the same price as an aluminum wheel.
They are US made though.

My current wheels weigh 27lbs each.

 

22lb for mine

 

Mine weight 42lbs each before balance beads and tires.

 

Oh no, huh uh. Not at all.

You folks and your giant ass tires....all the parts you guys go through, i'll never make it to 35s.

 

That is absolutely awful.

These FN Wheels are 21.5lbs each.

 

To me they just look 'normal' now.
Then I park next to a stock taco and it's like: oh shit.

 

now you can regear

 

This!

35s and 5.29s put a big fucking smile on my face.

 

Ouch, on the first part.

 

^^^^

 

This came today - finally will replace the spare that's all wonky.
