Official Tennessee Thread

Just when all hope was lost, I put out some feelers on a few Facebook BST groups and found a reputable guy nearby to do the work!

 

Damn guys, I think the last time I checked in was 200/300 post ago
Hope all are doing well this summer!

Any good camping trips coming up this fall?

Sharing because I am exceedingly proud. I proposed to the love of my life last week and we are on the path to be married.... sept 16th
Ha. Short engagement

So, if anyone has advice for the young guy getting married, I'd love to hear it
Comments such as "should have ran"
"Turn back now"
"Wow, worst decision ever"
Are accepted and appreciated hahahahah

 

Congratulations, I just got married last month, don't know what type of wedding you're doing, but one thing that we did was right after the ceremony we took ten minutes to ourselves away from everyone else, it was great to have some time just with each other on a hectic day.

 

This. The venue we were at provided us with a private dinner after the ceremony and before the reception, and it was fantastic.

 

Spending a week in Texas for work and this is my rental. It feels dirty, but who doesn't like to feel dirty every now and then.

 

Nothing wheels like a rental!!

 

Ok. Stop and eat. We can do that!! that's some great advice. The day of, I will let her know my Taco heroes gave me that idea
Haha

 

Fastest car in the world is a rental!

 

Can confirm. Buddy's dad jumped a Prius a solid 15 foot.

 

All hope was never lost. You just tried to give up too soon.

 

I was "engaged" for 2 weeks. Haha i honestly have no advice as everything we do is ass backwards from other couples.

 

i'd do it. just drive on up to ohio!

commit. you're entering a contract with another, imperfect, person. both of you are going to mess up at some point. both of you are going to want out at some point. casually go into a married and it WILL fail. if BOTH of you commit to it, it can be the best thing that ever happened to you. no mistake is too big to forgive


for the small things: TALK TO EACH OTHER!! have an adult conversation, never in anger.
or just ask yourself "does it really matter?" usually the answer is no...

 

@allmotorrex @Robertocritser (or anyone else can chime in)

i know the likelihood is low of damaging a lower control arm, but what if i can get a pair of backups for $165 shipped?? stock lowers, thoughts?

 

I think the only people buying lowers don't want to mess with replacing bushings. Never seen one damaged outside of an accident.

 

This is why I replaced mine. Just didn't want to fuck with the bushings.

 

i wonder if it would also be worth it then to buy them and dick around with the bushings on those ones so i can just swap them out rather than have down time on the truck...
what did you pay for yours? if you don't mind me asking...

 

Rock auto has moogs complete with ball joint and bushings for like $100 IIRC.

 

My wife and I did a reveal photo shoot before the wedding. It was really nice to see her in the dress with no one around except the photographer to capture the moment. Also don't shoot big guns at flower pots the day before the wedding haha @allmotorrex

 

$87 each I think. I just bought the Dorman ones off rockauto

 

Basically what everyone is saying
