geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Prob easier to just pull em and get them coated locally.

 

Pricing and wait time might be better coming from ID. My bumper took 7 weeks. Can't have that happen again.

 

CBI is in Idaho. As car as I know, thats where all the prinsu stuff is made now as well

 

Fixed. My bad. All my prinsu stuff came from Zach in UT. Just habit I guess haha

 

Yeah, his operation was in Logan as I recall, but he's moved down to the valley now.

 

no comment?

 

PC'er that did my rear bumper took 7 weeks instead of 1 week. It's okay though, they're no longer in business.

 

you ever sell those BFF bumper reinforcement brackets? One of the other threads told me the rad new BAMF ones won't work at all with my USOffroad winch mount, but the BFF ones look like they might. If you've still got 'em and you wanna not got 'em, I'll take 'em.

 

Crawlers and coffee two weekends ago:

 

I apologize for not being around. I know you guys miss me SOOOO much. I have been around TW, just been neglecting the thread. The truck hasn't really got any significant updates. And it probably won't for a while. The stuff I have laying around will get installed; just might take a while.

I have a pretty fucked up and life changing situation that I am dealing with in my personal life. Something that I never thought would ever happen to me. NEVER. I thought that after 2012, my life would get better. Well, everything came crashing down a few weeks ago. A couple people on TW know the situation and I will be posting more publicly when I am ready. If you wish to check in on me in PMs, that is fine but please understand that whatever is said is in confidence and SHOULD NOT leave TW and the conversation.

Know that I am in good spirits (most days and most of the time) thanks to the support of my family and friends and I appreciate any and all support from this community and the people I have virtually met and I am happy to call brothers in Tacos.

Winter prep to-do:
- Wash and wax truck
- Rinse the undercarriage and fluid film
- Oil change and tire rotation

 

Sucks to hear man. I hope everything gets worked out with your situation.

 

Thanks, Chris.

 

Stick around for the support, we missed you!

 

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

 

Sorry to hear. Hope all gets worked out. One thing I've noticed both here and another forum I've been on for years is that the people from these groups tend to be great support systems. There is always a portion of stuff people understandably want to deal with on their own but the from what I've seen is there is plenty of community here when you are ready for it.

 

Thanks I appreciate it. You are correct that this place is a great support system.

Personally, I reached out to and am helping a fellow member through some stuff they are going through. They have told me they are glad they reached out to me for assistance. Which reminds me, I need to follow up with them.

 

60 degrees and sunny yesterday. Got the truck washed, waxed and fluid filmed. Got my headlights re-aimed as the driver's side was aimed up and I got flashed twice while out Saturday night. Ran through some flooded streets and had some fun too while out. Snorkels FTMFW! Confirmed that the headlight issue is fixed while out with my mom last night.

Need to get the oil changed in 1500 miles then rotate the tires. Hope to get the fog light mod done soon too.

I need to do a thread title change soon too. More on that later.

 

Good to see Caitlyn is finally post-op

 

It's her birthday today (the person). My Caitlyn's birthday was end of September.

 

While washing the truck last weekend, I noticed some condensation in the heretic light bar on the driver's side for about 6-8" in length. The lightbar still works, but I reached out to heretic to see if there is anything they can do:



I guess we will just have to see what they say.

Yesterday, I removed the roof mounted rotopax gas can and mount. Since it decided to snow this past week for 3 days (Wednesday through Friday) I decided to throw on the amber foglight covers. Still need to go for an oil change and tire rotation but the winter prep work is basically done.

That is all.
