Colorado B.S. Thread

It's 100% functional...




...and sitting in the backyard collecting dust.

 

I got that one a few months ago. So far I love it but I was coming off a cheap tractor supply thing

 

Planning a couple week long road trip through Colorado in May or June of 21. I was supposed to move to Estes Park last summer for a job but covid happened and it didn't work out so I'm hoping to make it happen this year!
Here is the preliminary route I am planning (coming from Ohio and wanting to start down south), but would love any suggestions on places to see, camping sites, etc. I am planning on camping every night except for when I visit a friend in Denver. Thanks!

 

Anybody using tire balancing beads and if so how do you like them?

 

Unfortunately quite a bit of the area between Estes and tabernash burned this fall so there won’t be a lot to see there. Otherwise you’ve definitely got some great spots picked out to see! Should be a good time.

 

Four corners is closed right now too.

 

Found that pesky little noise in my front end

 

Got laid off and started my own business so a lot of my plans have been put on a slight hold...
I did get the parts washer yesterday that I always wanted and never had room for.


Hopefully next spring I'll install a 2post lift.

 

We don’t need a parts washer. We just need a garage, a fridge and a fire pit.

 

That's all in place.
Supposed to get a bunch of railroad ties tomorrow. If that happens, I plan on digging in a firing range too.

 

Every time

 

Is the shock end still good? When I let mine get that bad, I destroyed the shock end too.

 

Theyre not ideal but I think theyre ok for now. These will be going to see Tim probably in the next 6 months anyway now that I see how bad they were. This was the inside of the end.


The funny thing is I was only doing that side so they would match schedules. The other side was the one making noise. There wasn’t enough bearing left in it to take a picture of.

 

Yeah mine was wore down to where the circlip groove no longer existed.
I learned my lesson too well because this last squeaking had me changing those out when it wasn't them at all. It was my SPC upper ball joints actually.

 

Funny thing is is I replaced my ucas bushings 3 times thinking that was the noise. Ain’t no lesson like xperience though.

 

Our newest foster pup, Tanker a 6 year old Pomsky, owner surrender someone’s had him since he was a puppy and recently had a baby so they kicked him to the curb

 

Shit like that really irritates me..

 

Me neither

 

That’s how I got my previous two dogs. Sister-in-law had another kid and decided it was just too much. She was going to give them up to a rescue but I couldn’t let them finish out their lives apart. To be fair, the house she lived in was a tiny townhome and her now-ex-husband was pretty useless at anything other than watching sports on TV.

 

Mine is collecting garage dust.
