Wyoming B.S. Thread

Yeah tell me about it. My fixit list and mod list is miles long due to the three trucks.

Need to get the little truck on the road and a new rear leaf spring and clutch. Then I think it'll be good for a long while. I'll probably cave and get AC for it too this year and maybe CC.

Igor is mostly okay right now other than what I just mentioned. But the suspension needs rebuilt. Shocks need rebuild and new leaf springs.

Franks...well..thats pretty much a full build haha

Clean slate would be sort of nice. Partly why I wanted another double cab to morph into Frankenstein. But whatever. Lots of money and time to do that and I don't have the space either.

 

So far seems to be just fine.

Im not sure the little truck would make it that far haha last I drove it, it didn't feel good. The motor mounts are shot too which doesn't help, I have Franks Old ones to go in though. Was gonna put the TG ones in but haven't put the Bozen Mounts in Frank yet.

 

wait you have a roommate? What?

Yeah it would. But I'll get my own likely. Have two manuals so I'll need it. Frank needs a new one as well. Probably get the LCE Comp clutch for him.

It has slipped since I got it, but not bad, only uphill in 5th. But then started to in 4th. So its time!

 

wow. Didn't know that. Crowded house I bet.

Uh..not many..But it is starting to slip. Had it since 2013 the fall. But not a lot of miles thats for sure. Lot of hard ones though.

It was a ceramic one, so not super good to crawl with. Why the LC Pro comp will be better as its a hybrid clutch with one have cermic but the clamp side is standard clutch so you can ride it better for starts and hills and things but you get the main clamping force of the ceramic on the otherside.

 

Well the gearing is low already. But it was a different clutch to drive with thats for sure. Was grabby but I liked it.

Dual cases was something I thought Id do one day. Not sure I'll bother though or not at this point.

 

haha theres 5 of us living in a "2" bedroom. 2 closets have been converted to rooms. Such a typical ski bum kind of house, so much fun

 

Typical jackson

 

I hate when it snows here.

 

It sure is funny to watch people try to drive in it though.

Had a bmw driving down the sidewalk in front of me earlier.

 

Sounds like you'll be retiring south haha

 

Desperate people do some crazy shit don't they?

I'm blaming climate change.

The problem is not the location, the problem is the amount of people competing for such a small space. If we had the population of Powell or Columbus, it would not take 90 minutes to go 1.5 miles in the morning commute.

/rant

 

wouldnt have it any other way lol

 

Sound right to me

 

They're hardened. Blades don't work well unless they're carbide. Big abrasive cutter like a huge grinder works better. Also yes that whole job sucks and I think I told you that. Took four of us to do Mike's truck in a full day, and even then we needed more time

 

Get better blades, it'll take you less time to run to the hardware store and get some carbide tipped blades for thick metal. Don't let the blades get too hot or they'll dull out and then you're just using a vibrator to tickle the truck for all it's gonna do.

 

Not that safe..but Id get a 6'' cutoff wheel and slap it on your grinder. It'll work much better. Just wear some good big gloves and thick pants and all the good PPE

 

Flak jacket and buddy to actually use the grinder?

 

In Ben's case..yes.

Might get the longer ones though

 

If you have one cam free or a bolt with the same OD you can drive them out with a small sledge and elbow grease
