beats me, do you work the corner of chadbourne and 19th?

 

Sorry guys, I had weekend duty the first weekend, and the 2nd weekend my mom came into town. Maybe next time.

 

Finished my summer classes so I'm free to meetup sometime this month. I'm also doing my 4WD conversion this month...

Heard yall had a drive by last week. Thats unusual for SA.

 

Yeah, 04Pre_Runner and I met up a few weeks ago. Brought the puppy out so he could explore another Taco.

 

No i meant a drive by shooting in college hills area.

 

oh shit lol yeah heard about that.

 

it's something in the water, but not the severed leg

 

It was a few streets over from me. Didn't know about it until my roommate who works the night shift mentioned cops blocking off his normal route home.

 

Thats crazy. I used to live on Baylor street and that whole area was super quite and mainly old folks.

 

A guy got his leg chopped off by a boat propeller on the 4th right?

 

Yep, i knew that dude a long time ago.

 

i used to live on tulane. was a decent neighborhood back in the 90s as a kid.

yea, haven't read a final report on how it happened, but man that sucks.

 

He was sitting on the back of the boat, feet in the water, going to the horseshoe and the driver kicked it into reverse. They said it kinda sucked him under and the prop hit his leg.

 

Walked into Rankin transmissions this morning to see if I could get the transmission portion of my 4WD conversion completed there. I walk into an office and spoke with an older guy who I assume was the owner. After explaining what I need done (4WD components removed from a high mileage unknown history trans and put into my 2WD low mileage trans) he asks me what I'm working on. I told him I was working on a 4WD conversion and just didn't feel comfortable with this portion of the project. It was a mistake to tell him that.

The guy instantly starts going off about gear ratios and other nonsense that doesn't even pertain to my question like how conversions are a hassle. The conversion is mapped out and planned. I don't care what this man's opinion is on the subject of 4WD conversions or care what he has to say about the difficulties of it because I went into this already knowing that. He lost my business lecturing me. Just a bit tired of the attitude some shops have here in town and I really wanted to try and get it done locally.

 

you might talk to scott at permian drive auto & diesel.
he may be able to do it, he is a good mechanic, he and my brother grew up together.
years ago he did a 4x4 conversion on his excursion and that thing was a beast.
also, don't go to quality transmission in the yellow building on south chadbourne. they did a shit job on my brother's dodge2500 trans a few years back.
