Good Morning Jon
Have a great Saturday

 

Morning, Jon

 

Evening gents. 30 mins til morning again lol

Work til 0400 then off to CotA for some TTC fun and toys 4 tots. Gotta stop in Houston to TW express a winch cable for Chris. Then gunna do some beer drinking and cutting and wrenching at Dylan's. Then meeting my bro at his bar later and hopefully crashing on his couch. Gotta be back home for my sleep study Monday night at 7:30 so I'm trying to flip my sleep cycle by staying up till midnight ... Tomorrow. Yikes. Coffee and beer will fuel me haha

 

Sounds like a great, non-stop, no-break weekend. It's a big haul for me, gas-wise to make it to Dylan's house. I'd normally be in for seeing the account negative to help you out, but it's Christmas, my account is negative x5 lol.

 

Totally understandable. I would've made it out sooner if not for the same thing. But I was able to fenagle a little OT the last few weeks and finally sold my old bumper.

 

That's great! I'm glad for you, man.

 

I can't wait for my truck to get a better stance and stop rubbing when I turn or cycle the suspension
Been trying for months to get it done here. But no one has been able to help when I'm free so gotta go to ATX haha
At least there a lot else to do while I'm there

 

True

 

Our group down here hasn't been very active in the last year or two. It's sad

 

You could try drumming up some activity via Facebook. I don't think there's very many active Houstonians on Tacomaworld

 

That was a blast bro, great to see you and Penelope

​

 

Fo sho I had a good time. Can't wait for HF

 

Same!

 

Got a new tundra patch because_racetruck
Also dark side of the taco is new

Good Morning Jon
Have a safe and healthy new year

 

Morning, Jon

 

afternoon gents. Happy new year. I just ordered new CV axles from NAPA... $211. Of course they aren't open today. That's fine, tomorrow is pay day. I'll also be ordering the ECGS bushing to replace the needle bearing. Hopefully don't need to make any more pruchases anytime soon truck related. I'm all ready spent for the rest of the month if not February as well. I'm really hoping I can get these CVs and bushing installed and address my.smashed cross member so I can install my last 2 skid plates before Hidden Falls. I really need this raise at work to go through ASAP, as i also still owe money on my new steering rack and I can't stand being in debt. I'd hate to miss HF. I really want to sign up for Jambo as.well, but it'll be right in the middle of the turn only around this year and I can't afford to miss out on 4 days of OT gathering
