New England B.S. Thread

Hey, if I'm around on the weekend that you guys are doing this I'll be in. I live not even 20 minutes from All Wheels. I buy cedar boards from the bucket maker next door to there (Maine Bucket Co) all the time.
Of course, I'd be limited to the "pavement pounder" parts of the trails; my truck's unlifted, unarmored, AND my DD. The only mod I've done is to put 265's on it, haha.

 

You'll be fine too,mine was a DD only slightly modded.

 

I've got a 5 year old set of Icon vehicle dynamics remote reservoir shocks from Wheelers offroad that I just noticed has a broken compression fitting nut where the hose from the reservoir connects to the shock body and it's leaking oil. I know they are re-buildable but don't know of any good shops that could do it. Anyone know who would do this type of work in the area? I think I'm looking at about $75 per shock so I might consider downgrading to Bilstein 5160's or 5100's.

I don't offroad but the truck is lifted 3" so I think I need extended travel shocks.

 

WOW, and you said that with a straight computer face.....

 

Yes i did.
I'll be down your neck of the woods the end of next month, going down to Boca to see my son and celebrate his 1 year of being clean!

 

I would look for a local power sports. I know the dirt bike place near me are the only ones with enough nitrogen pressure to fill the swayaways I never installed lol.

 

Yes....I can see how slightly from your picture.

 

Whatsup keith. There is only one offroad shop i know of in CT, it is called EVB in Danbury, i am not sure if they rebuild shocks but it would be worth a call. I have heard they are pretty expensive. I also have shocks that need to be rebuilt and i will probably just ship them out to DSM.

 

Rear I'm assuming?

 

Wiring in the cold sucks. I figured it would be the warmest night of the week so i decided to pull some wire. Its going slow, and i cut my finger at it has been bleeding since 5 haha. I already made a mistake and wired the Light forces with 16 gauge instead of 14 gauge the tails coming off the lights are 16 though so i might be alright. Holy crap these things are bright!

 

You still have my # and have time , ring it.....good thing about this "modern age" my # will not change, yet.. OUCH, 2 hours away....?????

Hopefully I am there finalized a few more big items today and if the "wheels keep turning", I should be leaving 2nd week of February...

My "New Ride" is a month early so time is NOW....

 

Oh my god - Why didn't I think of them. My wife's cousin is married to the owner. I know him. Never been to the shop but I know of it. I will give him a call tomorrow. Only 40 minutes from me.

Thanks

 

What is this stuck you speak of? I have done no such thing. I may get limited by space sometimes but a goo sixteen point turn fixes that.

 

Who said naked cannonballs?

 

I have a great idea..don't tell her..

 

Great job by your son!!! It works if you do the work

 

" I swear honey! Those wheels have always been on it!"

"The truck's not taller... You must be getting shorter..."

"Louder you say? You must have dislodged quite a sizable piece of ear wax..."

"Darker windows? They turned the clocks back..."


Heh heh

 

All good, reasonable answers, to questions she already knows the answers to

 

I might just do that,honestly we'll be very busy while we're down there and probably won't have time for visiting.
Need to help him find an apartment and do some fun stuff to.

Thanks Chris, i'm so proud of him and can't wait to see him!

 

I hate wiring in the cold. Even if I get my new lights this week, they'll sit in the box until it's at least 50 degrees outside before they get installed!

I hear ya, but she's been a pretty good sport. Hell, she let me get a new truck to begin with, then the tonneau, floor mats, lights... I'll press my luck next summer and go for getting the front windows tinted like they were on my Tacoma.
