Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I've stayed in all day sleeping on and off. Staying rested up until work tonight.

 

Nice, Just got back from a buddies place that I crashed at last night. Going to do some meal prep for the week and clean. Other than that, waiting to get into the ESO beta, hour and a half wait time just to be able to log in.

 

I should clean up some, I just don't ever want to do anything when the weather sucks, period haha

I'm excited for later this week, it's actually going to hit the high 40's a couple of times! Going to have to take advantage of it and get some stuff done on the truck.

 

Haha, I enjoy the winter weather, only when it's either A- Snowing its brains out or B - Snowing its brains out. I hate the frigid cold, like wind and ice and just shit.

I need to clean, room smells like ass.

Lucky you, we are in the 20's-30's all week. But I work indoors so i don't care. lol.

 

Yeah, it just started snowing again about 30 minutes ago. Wasn't expecting it to. If there isn't a couple feet of snow on the ground then it needs to be warm!

As long as I remember to take my trash out when I leave, I should be good haha

It hasn't been about 34 degrees in the past 2-3 weeks. Hasn't been over 45 in about 2 months...

 

damn! that's saying something haha!

 

Woke up to 14'' of fresh snow this morning, just got back from plowing snow with the Taco in the hills, so much fun!

 

Would be cool to have but those wont fit uniball arms, only ball joint arms.

I had fun playing a little this morning too. Especially since the front diff didn't want to engage.

 

Me too.

It is very odd behavior. Getting slower and slower to engage on first use after an extended period of non-use. First time I noticed the trouble we were about to start up hellroaring.

Siping!

 

It's the siping.

The trouble I am having has nothing to do with the locker. My trouble is the ADD. It is like the actuator is slow to engage.

This morning I drove 2 miles and nothing I did would get 4WD to engage. After getting groceries, when I started the truck to go home, the front diff immediately engaged. I heard it and felt it and the light came on. And now it engages and dis-engages quickly and normally. WTF

 

Did you guys get hit with that cold snap?

 

We did. At least cold for us. This past tuesday and wednesday was in the 20s and some snow last night. Just about all melted now tho. Temp got up to 38* this afternoon. Turning to rain now.

 

Hey Ben, do you know a Sage Kotsenburg?

Unless he has moved to Couer d'alene recently or something I'm surprised you don't. He's only a year younger than you isn't he?

 

i guess not. i missread.

yea damn it..haha

and crap..sounds like a bad actuator or connection somewhere..one of the bad things about the electroic ADD system. Igor's works flawlessly. I never feel it, but i know it works. I need it every time to get out of my driveway that is super steep. like 15% grade haha no wonder the land lady said i could park there...haha

Something is loose or worse..dying.

 

Did some Driver's Training in the snow yesterday and today I didn't catch any of the real good ones on camera though...

That is moving a sleeve on the passenger side isn't it? Is that vacuum actuated?

 

Yes the actuator moves the locking sleeve on the passenger tube. Very easy to see.......without the skids.....which...is SO fun on your truck..haha

 

Sometimes tracked vehicles suck in the snow...I got stuck in a Bradley in Korea in six inches of snow once. Nice drifting, and excellent catch.
