New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Not sure yet I need to really flex it to see where else I rub, this weekend I'm going to take just take the shock off and clearance as much as possible.

 

Wish I had the cash, would take it off your hands. If you still have it next month for some reason, I will gladly take it.

 

Sounds good...

I saw you heading west on Alameda @ Coors bypass on Thursday I think. Those Roto packs look good...

 

Yeah that sounds about right, I think I was in that area at some point. Thank you, I like the looks of the Rotopax and functionality of them, but man those things are already kind of deforming a bit and it isn't even that hot yet. I am a bit concerned about them losing a bit of shape, but I have not read a single review of a leaky container (when used properly). We shall see, Cloudy may have another job on his hands to somehow fab me up some jerry can holders for the tire rack instead...

 

Yea, a buddy of mine has some on his xterra and they deformed, he complained about it to them and they sent him all new ones.

 

Hey guys I have a question. When I first start up my truck I notice the airbag light stays on for a few seconds. Does this mean the spiral cable is about to go out and needs replacement? It's an 09...

 

oh okay cool, yeah i just started noticing it the other day. the horn still works but my steering wheel buttons currently don't work since i haven't gotten around to connecting the adaptor to work with my aftermarket head unit. but i thought id ask here first before taking my truck in to the the dealership

 

whoa its changed a lot since I've been here. No old faces I recognize either! Whatsup everyone

 

Yo. Word. Whatsup.

 

Looking like I'm going to be taking off the week of May 19th to replace the flywheel, paint the rear axle and get a bunch of other work done. Will be making an announcement for a Wrench Week soon. I'll have a couple days set aside either at the beginning or the end of the week to help peeps out with anything they might want to do.

 

oh, and, Haaaaayyyy!

 

I'm off that week... the whole week. Might be able to lend a hand depending on how the schedule works out.

 

I'll let you know for sure. Putting in for the leave tomorrow. Any and all help would be most welcome. I've got plenty that needs done and plan on taking my time to do it. Whatever amount of time anyone can spare would suit the situation just fine, even if it is just to shoot the breeze and drink a frosty beverage.

 

I'm starting to suspect my transmission output seal has sprung a leak. Have to check fluid level tonight. One more thing to add to wrench week. Yay.

 

I'm back to contemplating an FJ Cruiser. Would be nice to haul passengers.

 

When is wrench week?

 

Starting on May 17th and lasting until the job is done (or May 24th, whichever comes sooner). Think I might have an off-road adventure on the 24th or 25th to test everything.

I think Saturday, the 17th, will be dedicated to whoever needs help. The 18th, I will start pulling the transmission.

Looks like I can't account for why I have gear oil on the bottom side of my transfer case. Both the transmission and the transfer case are filled to the lip.

 

I've been coming over in the middle of the night and squirting oil on the bottom side of your truck... Just to see you squirm.

 

YOU!






You do know that I'm going to be scrubbing down the transmission after I pull it, right?

 

I have some aluminum polish...
