Florida B.S. Thread

Been I think 4 or 5 ppl killed in the past weeks. Just random murders so far in that area.

 

right now there has been a drive by shooting just south of seminole heights, the car fled north into seminole heights which was a bad idea. Police are heavy there because there has been a serial killer on the loose with 4 victims over a couple months

Oh boy...

Any race, creed, sex, lifestyle, pattern or is it completely random?

 

Geezus. Well now I'll be sleeping with my AR...

 

Quick skimmed the one post from Frank, but it seems random. Mainly just people on the street.

 

Oh boy, one of those kinds of pshycos...

 

Yuppers. Batshit crazy...

 

exactly. 3 were bus riders walking at night. One was a kind man getting ready to feed the homeless at 4am (killer walked up behind up and shot him)

 

Hope everything is good frank.

On a side note, my plans to go the junkyard today changed. Now I’m at work wetsanding and buffing an entire sprinter tall 2500. Although I can’t complain because I volunteered to come in. More money for truck parts right? Lol

 

... Who the fuck would pay for a work van to have a paint correction!? That's just crazy!


...and also a LOT of work.

Good luck buddy!

What do you guys use there machine and product wise, just curious? I do my own detailing from time to time.

 

So, yesterday I got my Falkens mounted (all 5). Went out to Citrus to meet up with some folks from the Florida Overlanding Facebook group. I noticed a good bit of rubbing up front and the ass end was really rigid. I skipped Hard Rock and came home to tackle the rubbing issue. I had 1.5" Spidertrax on, so I pulled those off. Moved to the ass end, and the spare had less than an inch of clearance to the pumpkin, with rub marks showing on the diff. I did the clearance mod (smacking the tabs that position the spare with a BFH) and when I re-mounted the spare it was jamming up between the driver side spring perch, the exhaust & hanger on the passenger side, and the tow hitch, and still only had about an inch of clearance to the pumpkin. Looks like the spare is sitting in the garage until I move the exhaust. Or get a swing out rear bumper...

Back to the rubbing up front. So, with the Spidertrax off, I was getting more of a subtle than violent rub. I checked where it was hitting and the back of the tire is hitting the frame rail while the top of the opposite tire is grabbing the UCA. Looks like the Spidertrax are going back on and some plastic is going to go bye-bye.

Oh, on a side note. When I first left the tire shop, I was a little unimpressed by the Falkens. Much more harsh riding than my Wrangler Adventures. When I got to the campground and aired down, I realized why. All four tires were at 50psi. This morning I set them to 35 front and 30 rear and the ride home was much more pleasant. Thanks to everyone that suggested these tires. I can already tell I'm going to be a huge fan.

 

Hahaha. Someone sold it to Carmax but it had lettering stickered all over it. Once removed it left a ghost around the entire van. So we had to correct it before putting it up on the lot for sale. Came out pretty good. Just a shit ton of work. I use a dewalt buffer and we use all 3m products.

 

Mod day at @Kitchen Fab ’s

 

I had to double take the other day. For a second I thought Lee was in South Florida

 

Lee is more popular than he thinks, he’s got copy cats. lol

 

anyone good with cooling systems? my 97 Tercel has had its entire cooling system replaced minus a temp switch. new radiator, hoses, pump, tstat, coolant, and the car loves to sit around 200-203* but will randomly go down to 190-194*, im kinda lost as to whats going on. i know the fans dont really kick on much and only turn on when the AC is on but doesnt do much at all. still loves to sit around 203*

 

Replacing the temp switch is the only thing I can think of since everything else is new.

 

yeah this car is weird though, it has an ECT (engine coolant temp sensor) and a temp switch....which i guess is for the fans...i dont know lol
