Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Bingo bango boingo, my rear diff is locked and won’t de-activate. Before I go digging, any tips or pointers? Took the TR00PR up to play in the snow and came home on a locked diff...

 

Key word is TAP.
Just sayin.
Seen one get beat and yeah not worky so good.

 

Tried the tippy tappy already. But, I was wet, crawling under truck in the pow and was probably going at it with the strength of my 3 year old daughter. Will try again tomorrow morning. Hopefully, it won’t be pouring rain on me because my truck still hasn’t made it back to my own garage.

And thanks for the tip. Just the tip.

 

Ah yes, the ‘ol gentle love tap.

I hear telling it it’s naughty as you’re tapping it helps.

 

Anyone got a good place to get a pulley kit? I have noticed while messing aroynd and cleaning under the hood that I have two that are losing the bearings soon. Figure I soyld just do them all since I'll be there.

 

Ouch

 

Good news boys! The LBJ is fine! The dude I bought the truck from (I'm assuming) only used 2 of the 4 bolts for the ball joint...and they weren't even the right ones.. got a new CV boot and the correct hardware. Only other damage was a small 2" crack in the fiberglass

 

Nice!

I'd check with the previous owner to see what other bolts they had their hands on and double check those bolts as well. Actually, maybe double check all the bolts.

 

Yeah I'll have this on the lift soon and start checking everything lol

 

I had something similar happen. An alignment shop left the cam alignment nuts loose on the passenger side. The bolt disappeared and the wheel was all loose.
I was in Baja 700 miles from the nearest replacement cam alignment bolt.

The front end looks like the drunk emoji in the best way possible lol

 

Made a smoked mac and cheesemade with smoked gouda sharp and extra sharp. All smoked by yours truly. A smoked pork shoulder that has been on since 9 this morning. Holy crap what have I done?

 

Didn't we talk about smoked Mac and Cheese? That looks friggin amazing.

 

Well no we didn't. Yes it is amazing. I had to tell the wife to stay out of the house till dinner was done. I love that feeling.

 

We should totally collaborate on bloody Sunday?

 

Working on the rigs today. Had to roll @Robmonster117 wheels out to see how they would look on the Taco. I’m intrigued

 

Yes!
I'm really thinking of doing a full size propane stove and oven in my camp stuff. I mean what the hell. A bbq is a bitch to take in most cases so why not a stove with full oven and a larger propane tank?
