AZ BS Thread 4²0

Welcome to TacomaWorld !

 

Alright so bad shit went down tonight.

MY FUCKING TIRE CAME OFF OF MY TRUCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT

Didn't get a whole pic of it since I went into Fix that shit mode.


So my truck is a five lugger and it's hard to find wheel spacers for 5lugs. When I finally did I picked that shit up real quick. Everything was fine for a couple weeks. Did some off-roading/Hunting recently, which probably stressed it out to this happening. The threads inside the spacers were completely messed up. Bound to happen since they were aluminum Spacer came completely off with the tire.

Anywho, I'm alright, vehicle is for the most part intact since I wasn't really going fast. Was leaving a parking lot when it happened. Thank God I wasn't on a freeway yet.

Moral of my story. Don't cheap out on stuff like this. Just buy rims with proper offsets that you want.

 

Picked up a kit on eBay.

 

Spacers make me nervous, ran them for a few months until I got proper wheels.



That being said. I know lots of trucks on here that run them and go hard in the rocks and whoops with no issues.
All good spacers are 6160 aluminum and cut from a solid piece (hence the price)
There is much to be said about proper torque and adding loctite to the inner. This is why they include it in many of the major brands boxes.

Sorry this happened. I know that feeling as Ive had it happen twice after leaving Discount.

 

Can be several reasons. Can be a range of things from worms to parvo. Drinking water still? For feeding try cooking up a little rice and ground beef and see if they'll eat that. For water use a syringe to get it down them if you need to

 

We live in AZ, so lots of farm boys around.


Anyone know where to get a brand made? Like for cattle? Want it for some furniture that I sometimes make.

 

Is it just normal vomit, or does it look brown and smell horrible like shit?

 

Not sure then man, hope you can figure it out though.

 

That's just bile at this point. The restlessness could be because he's nervous about vomitting. But seriously ground beef and rice. It helps a lot to settle their stomach

 

Boiled chicken would be better then the beef it's cleaner and less grease to upset the stomach for right now.

My dogs gone through a lot of stomach issues over her years and that's what the vets have always recommended, boiled chicken and white rice.

 

Kept forgetting to put gas in the truck. This is the most I've ever put in.

 

My two dogs get that frequently because they eat anything and everything like my couch, towels, flipflops and shit. I agree with @BDMcGuire about the nervousness to vomit inside the house. My dogs just eat the grass in the backyard and it seems to cure themselves after a day or two.

 

@Techoma Is it just me or does putting higher octane gasoline in my tank help with the knocking I hear on regular unleaded?

 

Yes, our motors ping and knock on 87. I run 89 most of the time and 91 when I have the 30c off from Frys

 

SOUND ORDNANCE B-8PTD

Anyone have any input on this sub? I gotta reg cab so space is always a problem. Plan on putting it under my bench seat passenger side.

I've heard them before and they are good for the price. A little more bass than the stock JBL sub but not much more than that.

 

Thanks for the fast response.

Now let's say in the future I want another sub. Can I double up these powered subs. One under each seat and put a splitter on the stereo? I don't know much when it comes to subs, but from what I've read it's either good or they cancel each other out. Don't know much hence the powered sub. Makes life easier for me.

 

Ohh they're in for a ride of their lives
