Have the day off. Only the oncall team is working

 

wow Alcan got back to me quick, didn't think they'd be open today since it seems like everyone else took the lame holiday off lol.

$690 quote for 250# over stock carrying capacity. I don't know what the stock capacity is but an extra 250# over should be good for most of my trips. Think I might give this a go

@Wulf when were you planning on taking off your Alcans? Do you know what they were rated for?

 

I was working the late Concierge shift yesterday at a fancy hotel here in the city, and I get a call from the owner of a huge restaurant group asking me how many concierges were on the schedule.

He came by and brought us all wine.

 

Wine is naaaassssty

 

I agree

But it was free, and free always tastes good.

 

I guess I can agree with this

 

Took 6 classes (1 a week) to draw an elipse with a 2 axis servo setup. Glad thats over.

 

What happened to that cool can crusher you were making?

 

Work picked up. I have zero desire to tinker at home anymore.



Also, my inner turd genner is gonna come out here, but I had one Tire replaced by Firestone under warranty today. Now my powdercoated wheel looks like this.


None of the others look like that after having tires mounted 4 weeks ago. The idiot tech wasnt careful enough when using the tire machine. Guess I gotta go back there tomorrow and see how or if theyre gonna pay to fix it.

 

Plus one for spray paint


Jk, that sucks. Stay calm and I'm sure they'll fix it.

 

Good question

They must be rated for 150+. The PO had a camper setup on the truck and I've been wheeling them last 8 years and they still have no sign of fatigue

 

Yeah just goes to show I cant have nice things. Now its gonna be a real pain in the ass to get a quote from my powdercoater, and go through the running around with Firestone. And I cant drive on my spare for long since its a size smaller. When I had my wheels done it took 3 weeks.

 

And many of my miles were with a loaded tool box in the bed

 

ah wait but you have a '96 Tacoma yea? Those have shorter springs than the later years right?

 

I stopped giving a fuck when i bought my rims and dropped one face down

 

good point

Title says 96 but this truck is all hacked up so I'd have to measure to be sure

Yeah well Im not you so... Paid a lot to get these coated. I value my things so Id like to keep them that way.

 

This showed up today. Fuel rails and injectors still installed. Needs a good cleaning but it looks in good shape.
