Off-road elements in Abington uses the Sullivan tire shop right next to them for all their aligments. Lifted or not and they said they do a great job

 

First day of December, t-shirt and shorts weather. Horseshit.

 

At this rate it's going to take a long-ass time to get to hard water fishing, that's for sure. Sabattus Lake had built up a 20 foot ring of skim ice around the edges prior to this, but it's all water again now.

 

Where are you located? I'd recommend BDR in Holliston. They are actually a Land Rover shop, but the owner is also a toyota/lexus master tech and do a lot of landcruiser work too. I've taken my LC there for an alignment, and after installing a few lifts in my driveway I had them do it on my LC. Great guys, they always have a bunch of Rover/Cruiser/Jeep builds going on. They are very familiar with aftermarket stuff too. Didn't blink when I told them I had SPC upper UCA's and that I wanted them set on "D", they are even familiar with SPC's.

 

Oooo good to know. I will probably forget, and then when I need an alignment remember that Seth knows a good place and ask you again.

 

Yeah I had seen some skim ice around me last week as well but forget about that. The 2-1/2" of rain was a good thing though.

Usually by Thanksgiving I can drive north to some high elevation ice to walk on (or fall through) but not this year.

 

Winters like this make me consider defecting to Canada, eh.

Or at least the Rockies/Cascades, lol.

 

Makes me want to put off moving to Texas to avoid the cold!

 

No lift correct. Putting on all 4 Bilstein 4600’s and wanting to check my alignment after. Thanks

 

I’m in Wareham... I’ll keep them in mind.

 

Me too. This is disappointing.

I might swap to my snow tires tonight since it appears the upcoming forecast has some snow showers and no 45+ degree days for a change.

 

I'd prefer snow to that crazy rain storm from yesterday. But I like the warmer temps since i've got to change my oil.

 

So I finally had some time to quickly check the wheel bearing I thought was going bad on my front PS and found no play whatsoever or felt any vibes while spinning the wheel with a hand on the coilover. I guess I could check the DS even though I had that replaced last year. Might as well check the rear but it always sounded like the hum was coming from up front.

 

Pulley bearing? Idler is pretty common. Pretty easy to pop the belt off and spin all the pulleys to see if any make any noise, or have any resistance to turning smoothly. Most of the pulleys are pretty simple to change. Only take 5 minutes each. Idler takes maybe 10 minutes, then another few to put belt back on. Probably not a bad time to just change the belt if it hasn't been done.

 

So in wild news I was Googling old vehicle VINs and apparently my 2013 was finally rebuilt and retitled in MI this past year. I wonder what it looks like now, because it was pretty destroyed underneath after the accident. I only found evidence that it was retitled (or at least A truck was retitled with my VIN this summer).

 

Good point, A truck..hmmm.

 

Jason, do you remember how much they charged you?

 

Boch? It was half the their usual charge cause they can't really align the rear. I think their usual is 100

 

Gotcha.... The Woolwax is holding up great, I even love the smell Lol

 

Just called Falmouth Toyota, $79.00 for their alignment. Can’t beat that.
