Alabama thread!

looking good, how are the tires holding up?

 

I know how hot it is.... i have been right there with ya today, cept i have spent right at 8 hrs inside a shaker screen getting well acquainted with a sledge hammer.... i think ive lost about 4 pounds so far is sweat!!!!!!!!

 

Keeps us from getting fat.

 

AC is busted at my house, upstairs. It's a touch warm up there. Should be fixed on Friday. Yippee.

 

Time to sleep downstairs.

 

Great still got a lot of tread on em

 

Alright guys. Alex's truck is non drive able anymore. It needs the rear brakes rebuilt, axle seal, upper and lower ball joints, driver side wheel bearing, inner and outter tie rod ends, and a bunch of other stuff. I am going to do my best to replace what is needed but its right at $2400 for a shop to replace it all at once. I know I can do the rear brakes, tie rod ends, and lower ball joints. So that will take away a good chunk of the price. I can't do the axle seal; don't know how to do that; upper ball joints and wheel bearing. So if anyone wants to come and help me when I get some of the stuff, I'll buy the beer!
EDIT: It's not from the previous ride, it looks like its all from wear and tear.

 

Yup. Glad our sofa is a hide-a-bed.

 

It's all doable at home except the wheel bearing.

 

I know, I'm watching you right now.

 

and upper ball joints.. they have to be pressed

 

Easy to press with a socket and C clamp.

 

Hey can you hand me a beer?

 

Not while you're naked.

 

Then I guess you need to help me press in the upper ball joints

 

Sounds like a plan.



Brian, powerdirector is awesome by the way. The video is nearly done, I just have to add music to the sped up parts.

 

Ok. It won't be until after we get back from Louisiana.

 

whatcha goin there for?

 

The keyframe stuff can sometimes get me, but the speed up and zoom functions are pretty nice. I tried it, and then bought it the next day. Figured I would use it enough. When you produce it, you should be able to set your video card to assist with the encoding. That speeds things up a lot. My card only seems to be able to assist with encoding on the mp4 output only. That doesn't bother me since that is what I generate all the time.

 

Going to Louisiana because Kerri's step sister is having a baby shower on Saturday.
