Better idea than poster sized memes.

 

Exactly.

 

Awesome movie. Would never be able to be made in today's fucked up world.

 

I got the 20T from HF. Makes no sense to have a press without the tools needed for use, so I picked up these from Amazon a while back...

$60 Orion Motor Tech 52-in-1 Custom Bushing Driver Tool Set and Transmission Wheel Axle Bearing Race Seal Installer Remover, Bush Removal Puller Bearing Press Tool Kit

$89 FreeTec Universal Press and Pull Sleeve Kit Bushing Bearings and Seals Removal Installation Kit

I need to get all this. The 20T and associated tools.

 

That top kit looks really useful. I have lots of odd bits of tubing for specific things and then a few sets of press cups that I bought from HF at one point, also super useful.

This is an 80 series thing only (well maybe not but you'd have to make sure), but Wits' End makes a set of press tools specifically for the sizes found on the 80 series cruiser that have the proper cutouts to be used for installation or removal and can use a bolt to keep em centered. I got em to make life a bit easier since there's a lot of them to change.

 

All the good comedy has moved out of the mainstream. Hold on tight, we've got star wars and avengers until the end of time.

 

Chili meth inks, I'm listening.

 

Modesto has joined the chat

 

I was just reading a story the other day about a guy that did that for a living...painting beach scenes on restaurant walls. Apparently there's a niche for it lol.

He got rich off it because one day some uber rich guy hired him to paint his whole house like that or something.

 

I'll take the rapists for 200;

 

I dunno, I admit she's gotten neglected a bit this past year. There's the alignment issue that I need to figure out, for now I get by with just adding more caster to one side but that's not an actual fix. We're focusing on saving up this year to get out of LA before our daughter starts school so I don't know how much fun truck stuff I'll be doing for awhile. But there are some things I need to do just to keep it maintained, alignment issue notwithstanding.

Supercharger is gonna need a rebuild soon too

 

I enjoyed a few years of wheeling this truck without much worry or stuff breaking, now I've entered into the phase where all that shit has added up and I need to fix it before it just keeps piling on lol. But with a baby in the mix now the truck definitely doesn't get as much of my undivided attention as it used to.

 

This is a very good goal

 

I'll remove the supercharger for ya, no cost

 

Then rebuild it and put it back on my truck? Dude thanks that's awesome

 

That one place High Speed Labs that people have used to get their rebuilds done, apparently has pulled a Pelfrybilt on a bunch of guys that shipped them their superchargers this year. People haven't heard from them in months, pretty shitty

 

So, with a fresh catalytic converter, the cruiser has picked up so much power. No more highway downshifting to pass, way stronger take offs and shit the thing revs like a car motor now. I picked up 1.5mpg so far, but a lot of that tank was relearning and half of it was pre cat fix so could be more to come.

 

Maybe I missed it but what kind of cat did you install, oem/used oem or aftermarket?

 

Also, today I learned that there's such thing as a chicken pox vaccine...wtf? Back in my day, we just got chicken pox and then had a chicken pox party to give it to the other kids in the neighborhood so everyone could get it over with lol.

Daughter got her measles and chicken pox vaccine this AM, had no idea that one was even a thing.
