South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I do not have a southern draw.

 

Perfect torque spec!!!!!

 

Mine gets bad with beer..................really really bad. Hahahahahahahaha

 

Even better!

 

Late, rough nite at work.
Lotsa research into a new guitar. Can't say much till it comes in and I can verify,
But I think I just purchased one of the holy grail Kramer guitars from the early 80's
I owned this model way back in high school but it was a different color.
The pickup of that guitar still lives on in one of my other guitars that I still currently own.

Moar later. Super rare, A code (Fender strat headstock)
B plate (neckplate)
Voyager series
Super, super rare color. Possibly the only one in existence. Melaga Purple.

Super freaking stoked!!

 

This is the exact guitar, same serial #

 

Why do I find so much humor in the word..."porthole"

 

Mernin.

 

14 mm or a 9/16 . I think the torque on them I believe is 65 or 70 foot pounds

 

I like the purple that is a really sweet looking guitar! Is part of your retirement plan rare guitar collecting?

My Cousin just got gifted a custom guitar made by our Uncle's brother in law. The guy lives up in PA also which is funny since you have some roots up there. It's an acoustic similar to a Martin in size. It's a really special guitar to the maker as well. The Body is from a Black Walnut that apparently was cut from his family's farm 60 some odd yrs ago then he slabbed it and saved it. He's a fine woodworker that just recently got into making guitars like this.

Here is a pic.

 

My father in law is pretty good. 4WD still happens. May be the tires. Idk I’m a worrier.

 

Do you feel anything from the seat? It could also be your hub bearings, a cv that is binding some due to just wearing out, a wheel that is bent, the wheels and tires need road force balanced, the tire tread is chopped up/feathered enough to cause a vibe, front driveshaft u-joints. I mean there is a laundry list of things it "could" be but sometimes after you eliminate the easy stuff it can be difficult to pinpoint or it could be a combination of things like mentioned before. I hope you can find it good luck!

 

Got a present for Black-N-Tan. Poor girl has been neglected too long

 

So on my old junk yard two door tahoe I had some gnarly tires. Radar R7 renegade M/T 285/R/17. They were beastly. I experienced the same type of vibes on those at similar speeds. Almost like a bouncing/wobble in the seat, steering wheel, teeth, fat rolls, etc.

Those tires are fairly conservative tread A/T 285s.

I’m going to get someone to dive into the tires properly to rule that out. This weekend I’m going to climb under and do some eyeball/wrench checks on accessible things to cover more options

 

Anybody else getting rain?

 

Skipping my first 2 meetings this morning to go surf

 

Nice clear morning!
