What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yup. Those Chinese aren't torque monsters like us Mericans.

 

Link broke..

 

Happy Friday. LambTek Innovations winch disconnect kit install is up on the channel.

 

IN AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

 

Not a damn thing. Went flying in the forest.

You could at least include some small part of the airframe in the pic so we can guess what you were flying.

 

Gas tank skid. Took my truck to Toyota, because the idler pulley was squeaking, I looked and noticed it was wobbling... they didn’t have the part, two days to order. Should have just done it myself, trucks been there since Tuesday.

 

I always tell them. Do you want the first guy to decide to just try and "wing it"? I'd rather someone who knows how to drive one go out there from the get-go.

 

Right on. Thanks. Where did you find it?

 

Drove through a lot of sand.

 

I've been considering this kit and have heard that when on the highest notches, the on road ride quality isnt the greatest. Mind giving some feedback? My gauge for ride quality is how easy it is to drink a cup of coffee while driving hahaha. Lid off for the ultimate test

 

It was a drone. Flying aircraft under 500' is frowned upon. LOL.

Yeah, highest setting is rough. I dont recommend it. Also pretty tough to get correct caster alignment unless you add new UCAs that correct for this.

 

I will call the dealership today to ask them about it. The next closest dealer to me is too far away to shop around but I will report back here with what they say.

 

I've got an appointment on the 17th. They told me no more that 1/4 tank. I don't know if they dump what's in there and then replace it when the job's done. We'll see. They said 4 hours for the job and hopefully I can get a loaner and just pick it up the next day.

 

They will have a gas caddy that they can pump the fuel out with if they need to. Since they dont have any diesel vehicles, the gas caddy should have just gas in it.

At the VW shop I worked at used the same caddy for gas and diesel, so they couldnt pump it back into cars when done.... but I had a 1989 BMW 325iX that ran on unicorn farts and anything flammable... So I would pump diesel/gas/oil/trans fluid mix into my tank and the damn thing would run just fine once it warmed up.

 

I’m always open to suggestions, but how do you takeoff or land without flying below 500’?

When enhanced ground proximity warning and terrain avoidance systems first came out, I got to do some high speed low altitude flying with general dynamics. It was a blast!

 

I think you have to sneak in and out of the airport. Just don't let them catch you.
