Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Any word Ken? I'm sorry to be a bother!

 

Got the truck aligned, for the most part. My lower control arm bolts are seized, so they were unable to get caster into spec. Everything else is ok and the tech told me caster isnt a tire wear concern. Looks like its time to research into and save some money for new lower control arms.

The thing rides like a dream by the way. Never thought I could like my truck more, but its happened somehow.

While the truck was getting aligned, I walked to Harbor Freight to pick up two new grease guns; one for the UCA ball joints (Valvoline Moly Fortified Multipurpose Grease) , and another for Driveline grease (Lucas Red and Tacky #2). Pretty sure the last time my driveline was greased was last year when I had my brakes done. Yes, I’m that asshole, but I wont let that happen again. Hit all 5 driveline zerks with a hefty amount as soon as I got home.

 

If the tech isn't doing it at the dealer I bet most aren't hitting those driveline ones.

 

Happy long weekend.

Hope to have some more electrical work done on the Tacoma today.
Thought of a way to mount the GPS and XM antennas.

 

Morning boys

 

Morning Connecticut,chilly night last night !

 

Morning everyone. Happy Saturday.

 

My friend cant make it today but I would be down to take you to Meshomastic on Monday. The GF wants to go hiking today at Herd Park in Cobalt along the Ct. river. Her birthday was this week so I prolly should take her if I ever want to.......well you know ever again....

 

Since people here show non Tacoma projects I thought I would show what I accomplished yesterday.

2003 Husqvarna GTH2248XPC tractor.
22 H.P. Kawasaki V twin. FH 641v
Installed an oil cooler from a FH721V.
Direct replacement.
The hardest part was I had to wash my hands.

Enjoy
TOMB

 

ETA..Open invite also to anyone else interested for Monday. All dirt roads with some hiking trails. About 20-25 miles of driving around. Then some beers at a local pub. Park entry is in East Hampton Ct.

 

Well I'm finally back!
2020 sucks
But I did just get my CDL A licence so I guess it's not too bad....
Nope it still sucks
I just want to go wheel!

 

I’ve been looking at it harder lately. Not sure I would want a full time job driving but opens up a ton of local heavy equipment options. Most small places don’t have guys with their class a around here and the state troopers have been cracking down.
Ma y neighbor sold His big trailer for his excavator because he can’t even use it legally anymore.

 

Yep it definitely takes some serious thought but I figure like with anything you start out in put in the time then see where it will lead you.

 

Did you take a class somewhere?

 

I did the short course at NETTTS,
If you'd like some details PM me.
I had a good experience and I passed written 1st try and inspection/driving 1st try.

 

Monday sounds good! My girlfriend will be tagging along so if yours wants to come along she's more than welcome!

 

Definitely think it would be cool if we got a few Tacos! Anyone else in?

 

I'm intrigued, what time?

 

@Ranger357 357? I'm not really a morning person and it's about an hour from us.

Skierrichy what works for your?

 

It's going to depend on if I go do some night wheeling tonight.
If that doesn't happen I will go out and anytime works for me
