"Wheeler's Anonymous"

Was a great day on the trail. 1 hr after I got home I received a service call in Monrovia. So here I am at 1:30am replacing a processor module on a server.

 

Frig.

This happened on the freeway home

 

oh damn, that's where I live haha. Where at in Monrovia? I'm guessing somewhere off Myrtle down where the industrial center is. There's a good little brewery there called Pacific Plate, hit me up if you ever get another call out here

 

I fucked my alignment up real good yesterday, pretty sure it was at the beginning of the Deer Peak trail portion of Drinkwater where that huge rut came right down the middle of the trail and we had to cross over it. Hit it a little too hard and it swallowed my tire and yanked it hard the other direction. Hoping I didn't fuck up my spindle...

 

Lol I couldn't tell if mine was wonky or I was over thinking it

 

I'll grab a pic later but I have to keep my wheel over 45˚ to the right to keep the truck straight now lol. Dropping it off at Firestone tomorrow, figure they can tell me if my spindle is fubar'ed or not. Got some new vibrations feels like coming from the front wheels now too but might just be all the dirt and crap thats still under there. Hopefully the alignment is just out of whack.

will do. barely had the energy last night to check my leaf springs out but glad I did, even happier that bolt decided to hold on until I got home.

 

I’ve noticed on my own truck that cam tabs don’t completely save you from losing your alignment, but I definitely go longer in between alignments than I could before.

 

Poor Miata

 

I'm starting to build my Lexus so we can race in the canyons. Got a bunch of stuff coming this week. I should be fixing my taco instead but I need a break from that thing. It's annoying.

 

Ill be ready for that. What I need to do on the taco is.
-Modify upper steering shaft with bolts and welding(new part is $280 so fuck that)
-new lower intermediate steering shaft
-Have @glorifiedwelder fix crack in lower cross member frame. Thanks for finding that Jason!
-Open T case and rtv gasket. Hope their is no internal damage. Truck drives fine so I think its ok...

 

I just threw an AEM cold air on. I forgot my damn OBDII reader to check stats on this long drive ffff.

I'm still diagnosing an awful rear rattle. It's got me kinda worried. Not sway or suspension far as I can tell tho

 

I saw the AEM. It looks huge! Very limited on CA legal intakes for my car. Only one I found is the lexus F sport intake which doesn't do a whole lot for ya.

 

It actually fit real nice. I was happy with placement and all of it. Yep loved sticking the CARB sticker on that bitch lol

 

Where's the cracked frame photos? Need photos so other assholes know where to look in case theirs get cracked too.

 

Its in a area I am pretty sure you mentioned in Moab. Right where the transmission cross member bolts to the main frame. It is from all the hits on the Transfer skid going around stock exhaust. It just peeled back and cracked it. Luckily that is not really a bad spot to have cracked. Easy fix.

 

LMAO, should have got that reroute a bit sooner eh?

 

Yeah kicking myself for that one. Its done now though and Jason repaired my skid plate too. Just gotta get this steering bullshit fixed then I'm back to wheeling every weekend.

 

*While t-case is open add crawler box*

 

Sponsor my truck and buy it for me! Probably just going to get Bamf hangers then throw all my money at the Lexus. It needs dark bronze rims and tires. No stock mobbin for me. Everything gets modified.

 

psh. only another $2,200ish for a marlin box. shouldn't have bought your lexus
