New England Mod & Meetup Renaissance group

Long ago in my truck equipment management days I had guys welding cracks in aluminum tanker trucks that couldn't do that...and we were paying them

 

Looks good from my house.

I've been meaning to snag one... but... time....

 

Looking good jack!

 

Thanks, have you done anything good with the GX?

 

I am going through wheelbearings yearly, I get them from the guy on here and torque the CV correctly. Is there some seal or something else in the knuckle that could cause this?

 

I think I have some scrap for you

 

This should not be happening yearly. NSK bearings are solid and should last you at least 90k miles even with a any type of negative offset wheel, 33 skinny, and wheeling. There should be 2 different seals, one on the CV side and one on the hub side (thin rubber ring).

 

Nothing fun lately… I did just install a 16’ flitch plate beam in the house that’s cool!
3 2x8 lvls with 1/2” plate in the middle. All through bolted. and got a new pup!!

 

I appreciate it but I have a limitless supply of aluminium and stainless shorts at my work.

 

Agreed. I have one that was ok because I replace them in pairs that I’ll toss in.

Then I have a pair of spindles I need to gusset and I’ll replace both bearings and every seal possible when I put those in.

 

Awesome, I haven’t seen that done before.

Congrats on the pup, hopefully all the pups can get together this fall

 

Pretty dog

 

Friend's father did something similar so that he could remove a support post and get a pool table

 

PM for the next mod day went out. Let me know if you want to be added.

 

Sure

added, you can see the behind the scenes!

 

It sucks I got two cavities filled today and I got a headache, you?

 

Dude! I smacked my mouth with a wrench and cracked one of my front teeth Monday. Just got home with a temp crown and need a root canal. Have to wait like a month because he’s booked solid.

I fully sympathize.

 

I'll join the teeth gang. Went Tuesday.

They said oh yeah you only need a normal cleaning but you do have like 7 cavities forming. None are bad, but we're going to do them.

They're grouped in a way that it's going to be 3 appointments. Goodie.

At last I don't need any teeth pulled, wisdom or otherwise (I habe 3 extra teeth in my lower jaw and 2 in the upper. I messed up their computer automated numbering system )

 

Eewww ouch
