Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

@Mademan925 did it to his relentless bumper, not sure who did it for their pelfrey tho

 

Ever tried using a ratchet strap in the freezing cold? Then if it’s mud that ratchet will be even more of a bitch. And then rust in no time. And then there’s the hooks on the ends. Sure, 8 bucks. And then another 8 bucks. And then....

 

Y'all are fucking funny. I am hoping to do the lift and sliders at the same time. @Uphillshunter, thanks for the offer. I don't have a garage nor the tools to knock this one out.

 

Which lift and sliders did you go with?

 

I ordered BAMF sliders on Black Friday. I've been patiently waiting and doing some light research on lifts. I think I'm going to contact Headstrong and see what I can do. I need to define my budget too.
The 209 Tacos are good peeps. I know I'm in great hands.

 

If he installed the lift then 100% his fault. I saw nothing saying he installed it. Nor did he say anything about a lift. But diff spacers implied there was work done. By whom. I dont know. So my first thought was loose bolts, and yes loose bolts can easily be the cause of this. Jberry taught us this not long ago.

 

Lmfao

I'd have to hit the Lotto for the ultimate set. I have enough to get by, but no where near ultimate.

 

You do have the BFH.

 

You are smart enough to not give it full wot.
I still think it was something loose that allowed the arm to swing thus adding huge forces that the diff couldn't handle.
No way everything was tight and the diff exploded and not just the CV.
Dosnt make sense. But I only going by what I read without assuming hes full of , even though he probably is.

 

A BFH, a drift punch, a set of channel locks, a 6 pack of beer, and some electrical tape... We'll fucking do this!

The electrical tape is to address any wounds we incur.

 

@jberry813 were is the pitch fork and torches emoji. That poor guy got roasted at that stake.

 

TW might as well throw in endless advertising and call it self pirateTW

 

Super glue works better

 

I love working on constructions trucks that have been sunk to the frame in mud and now for some reason have electrical issues.


That is all.

 

I have tried to use them in the freezing cold. I see this as a temporary solution. It isn’t something to throw money at. I have a winch, traction boards, hi lift jack, etc. I just have a few spare ratcheting straps that are used for recovery. I consider them throw always due to their cheap, inexpensive usefulness. It’s totally cool if you want to have the emergency tire block thingy as another tool in your chest. I’ve just found the usefulness of a ratcheting strap to accomplish the same as the link you gave. The upside is the ratcheting strap can function for other things as well. I’m not pissin in yer Cheerios man. Just trying to offer up some alternatives that can be just as useful.

As an aside, the last time I had to employ this trick, it was on an older dodge 2wd stuck in the snow near slick rock. We used all 6 of my ratcheting straps on his rear tires. At that time, I didn’t have my winch, traction boards or hilift as I was in the Wife’s SUV and we were renting a cabin to just play in the snow. Dude popped out of the woods onto the highway as we were headed home. Had him out in a jiffy. But, he got to keep the ratcheting straps and I think he had to cut 2 of them off anyways.
