Start shopping for 9.5” diamond axles haha

 

Crazy how you wanted me to buy it only after it wasn't running anymore

Cody Ceci and Brian Dumoulin on Defense. Not bad.

Seems they're finally towing this fucking turd

There's a dude at the corner house that has an Xterra

It's some years past due on registration, and has sat there for like 3 years (the entire time we lived here)

I remember one of the neighbors calling it in as abandoned, and the owner actually moved it to his driveway for like a week or two only to park it in the street again

Fast forward a year later (now) and I think they're taking it



Literally the only shitbox on the street in our whole neighborhood; kind of glad it's getting hauled away

 

People that keep old shitbox Xterras sitting around are the worst right?

 

oh the Concorde has been retired for over 20 years, but they're still living next to a major airport so I bet the values aren't exactly great

 

I never met the dude, but he talks to my friend from time to time

I texted this



Called me right after cause apparently he spoke to the Xterra owner already - word is that the cops had already given him a warning before so when they drove by they just decided to tow it

 

The last non running car that I bought was a 99 Infiniti I30. It never stopped running. It had been t-boned (and patched up) and the AC system finally gave up. But we drove it for 10 years. It put two kids through school and learning how to drive.

 

What's a 9.5 diamond axle?

@Wulf

 

I’ve seen people put them on their GX470s and pre-2010 FJ Cruisers and 4Runners. That 8” rear is apparently prone to breaking in a heavy GX on larger tires and wheeled hard.

I was just being facetious cause I’ve also got a shitbox Xterra that half the time people think is abandoned lol. That’s weird that he never sold it, even for scrap or whatever.

 

This one won't get tires larger then 285/75/17 or be wheeled hard. Swimmer yes. Cross country driver yes. Rock crawler no.

I took some guys up to measure crossing the Buffalo at 4.25 ft on the St Joe meter. Then we went on up to Richland Creek. It started pouring rain while we were at Richland Creek. The water can rise fast in that area.

The Tundra was the film crew mule on this trip. It did well. I had water bouncing over the top of the hood on the return trip across the Buffalo.

To refinance or to wait and see if it goes down more

 

Man I feel like crap, whatever River had that’s been making him act funny for a few days now he generously must have shared with me.
My MIL is in town for the week, I get home from work and tell her I feel sick and she says “Oh, I had a massive bout of diarrhea this morning!”

what. the. fuck. woman

 

MIL=TMI

Just pay it off

 

Guy who rejected my $100 offer for some Fox shocks a few weeks ago (they were listed at $250 at the time) has lowered the asking price to $75.

Too bad they're a 3-hour drive away.

My $100 offer was only good for that weekend, I had a friend passing through the seller's area.
