Alabama thread!

Anyone from the mod day missing a husky 18mm impact deep socket?

 

Got a lot done this weekend to the driver side still got to do the passenger but should go quicker than the driver since I have a handle o how to install everything now.

Anyways got the spindles painted and cleaned up. New wheel bearings and axle seals. Extended the tie rods. Welded a 3/16 plate to the frame and then welded the strap mount to it, so it won’t tear. Also painted the frame back and I stalled upper control arm. Having an issue with my lower control arm because of the MC gussets. About a 16th of an issue bent in. On the inboard side and can’t get a grinder in there to grind down. Already tried to pry back with a long prybar those gussets make it extremely difficult. My stock arms were super hard to remove because the were welded around the arms.

 

One side down until coils and cv come in which is Wednesday. Should be done with other side tomorrow.

 

It’s gonna be sick!

 

I had something ship from Florida to California, the day after it left the customer asked to change the address (huge pain in the ass).

It went all the way to Cali, then turned around and came all the way back to FL (almost 2 weeks up until this point), got re-labeled, then went all the way back to Cali (got to him at the end of the 3rd week. And that was Fedex. Just ridiculous.

 

fedex has always been way better for me than UPS. My package from UPS took a week to get here from MA. Got another package sent with FEDEX and supposed to be here tomorrow and shipped out yesterday. They also deliver earlier in the day so i can catch them on my lunch break!

 

UPS is good in my book, stuff gets to me in 3-4 days or less. Our local FedEx operation sucks balls. I mean, they stick an AR upper in my mailbox, when they should have left it on the porch. Mailbox door wide open and about 10” of box sticking out screaming “somebody come steal me”!

 

Still waiting on a tire, but am back on the ground.

 

Seeing this makes me want to go ride, it looks awesome!

 

Thanks! I’m ready to ride. May try to do a day trip this weekend if you’re interested.

 

Morning Bama! Interviewed for the second time for a job with an engineering firm in Oxford. Will require me to travel once a month to different National Forests in the country to take samples of air, water and soil. Pays much more and is half the distance of my current commute. Really excited for this one! I'll definitely be getting a new bike now to commute to work, since I won't be traveling the interstate anymore. Fingers crossed...

 

Mornin fellas

 

Best of luck Jonny

 

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya. That’s in my neck of the woods.

 

Sup JD

 

Sippin some coffee and doin the dishes before headin to work.

 

I'm playing with bike parts Brought in the new lights and put some yellow tint on Picked these up on clearance at Tractor Supply for $16 a set. They were normally $54......so I bought 2 sets

 

I’m be always wondered how those tractor supply lights compare to the harbor freight ones. They seem to be about the same price-wise.

 

I watched a YT vid on them. The guy used them on his 300L. I had never heard of them. I was limited on the size I could use. I bought some 3" ones from Amazon, but they were too big. For $16, it's worth a shot

 

Man that seems like an awesome job! Good luck to you. They’d be dumb not to hire you.
