Had to call the cops on a guy at work today because he was blatantly hammered, couldn't even communicate, and had 2 kids in his backseat. I called and tried to stall him because he didn't want an oil change, just a top off. It took the police like 15 minutes to get there and the guy ended up catching on and yelling at me to "Shut my fucking hood, I need to leave" when his hood was closed still. Then took off foot to the floor sideways out into the road.

 

Did you get the license plate at lease and give to them maybe they can beat him home.

 

No plate number, name or anything. I was actually trying to pull his truck in the shop so we could shut the doors and close him in when he took off.
When the cop arrived he seemed to not care very much. Kinda pissed me off.

 

Soooo buying another vehicle tomorrow......

 

Go on...

 

Finished. Not too happy with my son who drug it across the concrete floor and scratched it up but it is what it is. He helped put it in and that matters more to me.

 

.......

Haha dumb kids. Looks badass dude!!

 

Finished up with my truck this weekend.

Should get the new tires on this weekend, really hoping I don't have to get new wheel spacers to help if it runs

 

Looks good!

 

Kurt, now you are invincible! Looks good man.

Levi, I've been on your progress in the 37's thread. I can't wait to see it in person.

 

Well, it's not a toyota, but I'm still part of the group right?!

 

Maybe

 

Does it matter? It's not like you show up to meets.......

 

So... Random question... Does anyone know why light bars are so cheap now? Like you can get cheap knock off 50" for like $100. I mean I'm not paying $900 for a rigid 50" bar... I'll buy 9 Chinese knockoffs before I do that...

But I pad like almost $300 for a 30" 2 years ago, and maybe that was pure ignorance. But it was a forum guy who says they're made in the U.S., and it was a group buy and a lot of people were in it...

So I'm just curious if they've always been that cheap, or if the bottom really has dropped out of the prices of them in the past 2 years...

It's like you didn't see them on many vehicles 2 years ago, but now they're on everyone's trucks!

 

Guys, I have a ticking-rattle some where in my driveline. Any one have any idea what it is? U-joints, diff?

 

They are getting cheaper now because mass production of cheaper parts and so many different manufactures they have to keep prices low to be competitive.

Have any more information? Is it constant, only happen when on accelerator or when you let off it? When you hit bumps does it do it for a while then quit? Sound like it's coming from the front or rear?

 

I went through a big puddle. Every time the truck is moving, i hear it. Sounds like its in the rear. The fast I go the faster it gets. I'll have to pay more attention to it over bumps

 

I figured it out. Theres a heat shield (silver thing on the other side of the drive shaft in the picture) between the gas tank and the drive shaft. When I hit the big puddle, it knocked the front end of the shield into the drive shaft.

 

Gideon and I have done the same thing. I forgot about the heat shield haha

 

My solution is the drill a small hole in it and secure it with safety wire to keep it in place
