What were you taking the bus or something? LOL

I think JohnnyM has a complete one for sale. He might be able to do the install as well. Shoot him a PM.

 

Buy Johnny's bearing and you can do it yourself if no one else can help. You'll need a few hand tools, common sense, and a 36mm socket.

 

HA! There's not many more satisfying experiences than getting under the skin of a scam caller. Some guy with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft called me and told me they were getting an error code from my computer. I asked why Microsoft was calling me from a blocked # and he said it was because they were calling from the internet. I asked where they were in real life, and he said San Diego, so I asked him what the weather was like and he said sunny and probably 85 (wrong-thanks Google for telling me it's actually cloudy and 64). So I asked him what time it was there in SF and he told me 6pm (wrong-thanks Google for telling me it was 4). So I asked what he wanted me to type into my computer's search field and he told me, but I then typed it into Google instead. Turns out it's a scam. So I asked him why, if he was calling from Microsoft, there was a page on Microsoft's webpage devoted entirely to his scam?
As if I didn't have enough proof that he was fake, he got frustrated and said "Who the F*ck are you?!" and hung up the phone. Fucker.
HA! Thanks Google and Microsoft!
Oh, incidentally, here's some info about it so none of you fall for it too.

Hahaha awesome

 

They need heat for all or at least most of the cure time. If the packaging says it needs to be applied in 50+ temps, that means it should stay in those temps for the recommended cure time. 10 minutes of heat won't do it. Some epoxies will still cure in colder temps, it just takes a shit ton more time, others are junk if they're applied when it's too cold.

Your man card, give it here... You can have it back when you're not driving a car with a prissy pedal

As far as giving Alex a one way ride to Deliverance territory, at least that overpriced golf cart has a trunk.

 

Come on up to Andover. I'd love a good laugh right now!

 

*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* here comes big bad Billy in his environmentally friendly commuter vehicle, so he saves some trees while attempting to drag me into the woods

 

To fertilize the trees.
It's all related, see.

 

Class trip, so yes on a bus. Went and saw some amazing wood work by some japanese masters. Incredible joinery. No nails used... The tools they use are Incredible.

Why fertilize the trees with yucky toxic Alex when he could spend the day frolicking in the flowers and hugging trees?

 

Loctite instant mix, supposed to fully cure in 24-48. I'll leave it in the spare room on a shelf and see what happens, it had been in the garage prior.

 

Fertilizer does more good than hugs. Just ask Hoffa

 

You can't fertilize concrete

 

So I am thinking of doing some more work to my rear suspension.
For those of you who don't know my setup. I had the typical non-TSB. I added 3 Chevy one ton leafs to that AND left the overload. That's 5 leafs + overload. Thus much reducing the articulation in the rear. (I was thinking I would be hauling my four wheeler and hunting gear in the bed much more then I do. I sold the 4 wheeler.)

What would you do? Leave the added leafs and remove the overload? Or remove the shortest/stiffest leaf and leave the overload?
Or any other opinions.
Thanks

 

If you want flex remove the overload. But since you have a topper it might be good idea to remove one of the leafs and keep the overload. Guess it depends on how often you carry loads. Best bet is to hit up OMD in his spring refurbished thread. I bet he could tell you exactly how to set it up.

 

Sunday you saw the flex with about 450 lbs in the bed including the topper. I dunno. I will post over there and see what he has to say.

 

Hey Dave- I would remove a leaf and leave the overload. I have the TSB leafs plus Toytec AAL and my payload is way plenty, and i have full flex. I NEED to get extended brake lines!! I carried over 1500lbs of granite in my bed before i did my AAL. Of course i was on the bumps, but i feel confident now that i could do that and handle it off the bumps. I know it's dif than yours but it sounds like even if you remove a leaf you would be fine. Give update

 

I'm kinda surprised how people get all meh about nose-dive under braking. We build our trucks to have as much articulation as possible, and add lots of weight in bumpers, winches, skids, and sliders. If you're stopping a massive amount of weight, with a front weight and braking bias, momentum is gonna push your nose down. That's part of driving a lifted truck. Why do people put heavier springs on to get a HORRIBLE ride over bumps and stuff, just to eliminate your nose dive.

It's beyond me...

 

It has a nice compartment to store my balls in while driving.

All that comes to mind is Adam Sandler "their all gonna laugh at you"
