New Mexico Owners BS Thread

I may be able to on Sunday...

 

Ok so who is at Los quates Mexican restaurant. Blue Tacoma with plasti dipped badges

 

Lobster 13 and I did both that trail and the steps on Wednesday. neoither was terribly hard. The steps were fun.

And I also picked up my new HF 20 Ton Shop Press. Still have to unbox it and put it together though.

 

Installed the suspension today just didn't get to the aal. So the truck has a good bro lean.

 

Haha mine looked like that for a day also.

 

Ya I have an aal that should do on next week unless I get the leaf pack from I guy I work with

 

Got in my new helmet today. Not too bad for free with purchase.............

Not digging the skulls on both sides but we will see how it works out.

 

but it has flames!

 

This is true.

 

Anything going on tomorrow? 3-16

 

I am cleaning and organizing my garage. Finally over this latest sinus infection.

 

Hey flamer!

How are you liking that new machine? Have you tried any process other than MIG? Planning on renting some shop space soon? Even a two car garage is going to get pretty tight with all the equipment you've been buying.

 

Hey Nick. Changed the earl on the truck a few weekends ago. Was so happy that removing and re-installing the skid plate was so much easier.

 

Only MIG as of yet and only flux core. I should be picking up some spools of 0.23, 0.30, and 0.35 wire this next week. Cant wait to try TIG but can only do TIG with 100% Argon gas and I got a mixed tank of 75/25 so I can't do TIG quite yet.

As far as renting space........Maybe. It will be a little easier once I get Lobster13's Trailer out of the garage and we are possible looking at moving at some point within the next year and it will either have a 3 car or 4 car. So that we can use 2 for vehicles and the other will be converted to a heated and cooled shop space including wash sink and possible a parts washer. That way everything will have it's own place including a steel rack.

And yes at the moment the 2 car garage is really tight.

 

Glad to hear that you are feeling better.

 

thanks, Cloudy. Did it without antibiotics too. I'm so proud of myself for refusing to go to the doctors.

I still have that CV boot kit. I'll be sure to bring it to the next meet but if you think you'll be up my way, let me know.

BTW, I should be buying a transmission jack from Harbor Freight soon. So if anyone needs transmission work down the road, more than happy to lend it out.

 

Sweet. I'll get it from you when I can. Sorry about the delay.

 

I am down to do something. I like the Idea of the Cedro peak.

 

I'm about 30 min out from Rudy's.

 

No worries. We'll make the exchange eventually. Also, I am replacing a bunch of the drive shaft flange bolts. Don't know if you're still missing that one off the front drive shaft, but you are welcome to grabbing a couple of the old ones that are in good shape.

I think either the transmission output seal or the transfer case input seal has developed a leak. I have oil coating the bottom of the transfer case. I thought it was from when a shop did my clutch and forgot to hook up the breather but every time I check it, it seems fresh. No drips though. So... , yeah.

I found where they replaced some of the drive shaft flange bolts with regular hardware. Not happy with what this shop did and hoping to get to the flywheel soon so I can get it all straightened out.

I also need to pull the rear axle, sand off the rust and repaint it. I think, somewhere in here, I'm going to have to seriously consider a second vehicle so I have time to do this shit. House first, house first. That's what I tell myself.
