The Lair

Has this ever happened again? And yes I agree on you being spoiled.

 

Not anymore, because the lame kia you have to press a button on the door handle to unlock it.

 

Emphasis on the lame part. What a downgrade

 

@EatSleepTacos Looks like I'm going to have to drill the holes out a little on that wheel support bracket. I picked up the studs this weekend and the stud stops at the beginning of the taper. Not a big deal.

 

If that's the biggest hiccup, could be worse! Glad you got it in quickly.

 

FedEx update, my diff still says it's sitting locally. I called the FedEx 1-800 number and he recommended I go to the local store since it appears it's just sitting there. I'm going to go into the store at lunchtime and see if they managed to misplace a 70 pound home depot bucket.

 

They may have mistaken it for a trash can. Or butt can.

 

Or tried to lift it, couldn’t, and just left it in place. I’m waiting in line right now at FedEx to talk to them, so we shall see.

 

I have the strangest feeling this is going to get interesting.

 

The diff is considered lost since it’s been 7 days with no movement. I contacted ecgs and they’ll start the claim. No locker for you.

 

How the holy hell do you lose a 100 lb blue bucket?? And what are you supposed to do in the meantime?

And fuck them for losing my free shit!

 

I’m hoping ecgs will build me a diff ASAP and file a claim with FedEx. I don’t want to wait for that process to shake out. Could take awhile.

 

Fo' sho'

 

My stainless steel air lines arrived today from crown performance. Man they’re nice.

 

Crown makes some nice stuff. I've had a bunch of brake lines made by them. And the prices are good.

 

Nice flex with the BD hat...

 

Went and wheeled in NH last weekend...
Epic time!!!
That tie rod was at a 90* bend but winching it up the hill to get out of the way pulled it back to this position.

This went up 5 sections like this!

The color up there is amazing right now but dry as a bone.
Couldn't have a fire Saturday night, but was surprised they let us on Friday night.

 

OP is sus.

 

Yea, no way are you gonna press these through 1/4" plate. I'll just throw the caliper on there above the taper but below the fluted section and drill that size. Then just to be sure tack it.

I have 3 nuts from my old wheels, but I need to find the damn socket. They're spline lugs.

Otherwise I'll be buying new nuts. Then I want to find a square rubber cap.

 

Wait, so they looked for it? How? The guy was standing there and just spun around 360° and was like "Nope, I don't see it, it's lost"? Fucking FedEx sucks so bad!

I bet a million bucks they went to lift it up, the handle came off, it fell and it busted through the bottom of the bucket. It broke, oil got on the floor of the truck or shop and they just tossed it in the trash.

Was it lost on the way to ECGS or from them?
