Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Great work, Dan.....oh. and Tim, too.

 

Catch of the Day

 

Looks like something took a bite out of the crappie's tail.

 

I ran them on the rear of my truck before upgrading my leaf pack, they helped a ton over the stock bumps.
But I have switched to Perry Parts bump stops front and back now. They are massively cheaper and have, I think, a much more comfortable ride.

 

Nah, they're pretty hardy. They'll stand up to wind, hail, trees....

Oh wait, it's you......

Good thing is those shouldn't break anyone. Or anything.

What is this, Bass Pro ad?

 

Well… Rich did the bulk of the work, I mostly watched and learned.

 

Back from a weekend in the UP. Smokey. Not many fish. Had fun with good company. Stayed at a friends cabin (mansion really... 1900 mining barrons place) at Bete Gris. Hope it is better up there for Jonathon's trip... Monday is fix the Princess day. Tuesday is train the daughter on where the spare is and how to jump the car we are giving her (2012 Honda Odessey, 145k) Wednesday is workday at Dan's Thursday and Friday are Bike Doctor work days. Saturday... Ah, sweet Saturday. Look out boys I am playing at Tigerton with the Princess.

 

After seeing the bearings and pressing the hubs, I can see now how that could happen.

 

Great teamwork.

 

So… got a look at the truck this morning. Lug nuts were in fact a bit over tight. The axle nut was tight-175 baby. I had some trouble getting the abs sensor back in in Butte. Looks okay but is “bent” and scratched up. May just go get this side and replace it. Out of ideas from there. The brakes work fine as well. Stress!

 

Hard to see, but the sensor. I cleaned it and the hole some with brake cleaner

 

Now they're working fine?....maybe there is an air bubble in the line?

 

No. Light actually came on now. I am going to get the sensor and replace the rubber hoses from the caliper to the hard line

 

Just heard that DNR got that bear with the bucket on its head and removed it. Down near Cable WI

Edit. lol. just heard too.
Apparently there was another bear north of Eau Claire earlier this summer with a jug on its head that some boaters were able to remove when it was swimming across the lake.
