GHOST SHIP: Custom Chingaderas

Thanks, Jared!

 

I think 2 pin deutsch connectors are the smallest ones I have found that are affordable and still waterproof (or at least that have the appropriate rubber grommets). I recently bought a pack of OEM style bullet connectors that have the clear foreskin deal things on them. Not exactly waterproof but if the connection is hidden behind body panels or in the headlight bucket, they should be good enough.

 

The bullet connectors aren't bad. I use those on the CT90 a lot. Put a little dielectric grease in to seal em up and they've been decent. On the CB750 it was just open square white plastic connectors which always just seemed wrong. Easy to use and crimp and move pins and what not, but just so exposed.

 

@GHOST SHIP - Any fox suspension service? thanks

 

Hey Jaime. I don’t do rebuilds- not setup for that. But I can do installs and adjustments.

 

Got Sergio out on a ride around the ventura coastline for baja fish tacos at my buddy Rick’s restaurant Baja bay tacos at the ventura harbor. Then we burned it up mulholland back to my place. Good times!

 

Clocked 160 miles yesterday. Definitely a great ride. Thanks Richie!

 

Hey bro! You are literally down the fwy from me. I have a 2014 Tacoma an I plan on doing some mods that I know I cant do myself. Only because I dont have the time or space to do it. Currently planning on maybe doing a lift install and some electrical re-wiring/clean up. I will get in touch with you when I get some time off wrk and family.

 

Holla ‘atcha boy.

 

Long install this weekend on @Georgeth1022 ’s truck. At least it took longer than it should have. Icons new fabricated stock-length LCAs are pretty beefy but they are not a direct bolt-on part. At least not without mucking around with them a little. They have pressed-in poly bushings but the set we received had them pressed in too deep causing a fitment issue with the LCA mounts on the frame. I had to get creative and spread the bushings back out about 1/4” to get the arms in but they still fought me the whole time. Once in, they’re pretty dope though. I just feel bad for the next guy that has to take them out for maintenance. (It’ll probably be me). While there, we also replaced the inner and outer tie rods and rebuild the billet Icon UCA with new delta joints. The front end has been fully refreshed now and good to go for another 50k miles.

 

@GHOST SHIP You good, brotherman??? Watching these fires on WatchDuty and I don't remember exactly where you're at but I can tell they're getting hella close to home base for you

 

I second what @LiquidArrogance posted. Let us know if you need any help if SHTF. Hoping you are well!

 

One of my buddies who used to be on TW just reached out to him and that he is doing okay. He didn't evacuate as of yet but he and his family are on standby and are prepared. He isn't necessarily too worried though, but he is prepared nonetheless.

 

Appreciate the update. Glad to hear that he and the fam are in the clear for now.

 

Thank you gentlemen. Fires are nothing new to us here. We're prepared to evac if needed but not in any immediate danger as of now. One of the downsides of my little town is there are only two ways in and out of this valley so if stuff gets bad enough where I have to move, it'll bottleneck for sure... and there's fires in both directions right now.

 

We got the mandatory evacuation alert at 5:30am. I sent my family off and I stayed. My buddy across the street stayed behind with me. Few hours later wife yelled at me to evac and meet them at my in laws. We live in a canyon adjacent to LA Canada-Flintridge so they blocked access. Cops told me I can't get.back up indefinitely. I haven't called Sergio but he is far from the fires.

 

Stay Safe all you L.A. guys!!

 

Fucking ominous picture!! Horrible situation for all those in the path of this horrible event. Hopefully they will get it under control sooner than later..can't even imagine how people directly affected feel from this disaster.

 

If it’s not one thing it’s another lately. I successfully installed an extra knuckle on my finger this past week. I don’t like it though so I’ll be going back to stock.




if you’ve reached out lately for anything, I apologize for the shitty communication. It’ll be a while before I have two good hands again.

 

Ohh Dang!

I’m sorry to read that this happened to you.

Heal Up Sergio! I hope you recover from this quickly!
