"Wheeler's Anonymous"

I wish I was up for it. Should be a real challenge tomorrow.

 

Anyone doing any wheeling this weekend weather seems perfect! Lmk if so I wanna go too!!

 

Some things are 8 week. I'm special though, so that doesnt apply to me.

Hope your doing alright Chris. We miss you buddy!

 

Yea one of their employees is here in AZ in the same town as me and we wheel together... the hybrids are bad ass

 

Well known black tacoma?

 

no this guy has a silver one..

 

Mike their Sales manager right?

 

Yes sir

 

Sup man! We are going to do Miller Jeep Trail tomorrow. Its a tough one so rock sliders,lift, and big tires are needed. locker also recommended.

 

And 4x4

 

Know your pain. I have a stg 2 clutch which is like a light switch. I try everything in my way to prevent any tech to touch my truck. When I change tires, I bring them loose to the tire place.

 

tire places... I try to get them to let me change my own tires at their shop. I always bring my PPE with me and tell them i'll still pay the labor and sign a waver i would just rather do it myself. I've yet to have one let me do it.

 

I just don't trust them with my lug nuts and that impact gun. Tires to rims are fine. I don't have expensive rims.

 

Scariest one I've had was an occupational hazard of my first job. Hot water line heated at 200 degrees and pressurized to 1,200 Psi, blew about 3 feet in front of my face because the burner cutoff valve was slipping and apparently a certain transfer line doesn't like that. That machine freaked me out sometimes.

 

using the impact to take them off doesn't bother me, it's them using it to put the lugs on and hitting it for while so they don't have to put a torque wrench to it.

 

Oh fuck! I know exactly what you're talking about. Yikes.

I work with steam as well. Superheated and saturated. That superheated shit is gnarly. Can't see it, can't smell it, but you can sure hear it when its leaking. A pinhole leak can cut your arm off if you get too close. I've have 2nd degree burns over 50% of my body when I was in the navy from a saturated steam burn. All due to me trusting someone's tag out/ lock out verbal promise. Since then I always verify their L/O personally before I start anything. Including the electrical side. I don't wanna be an OSHA statistic.

 

Yeah that is what I was referring to. You know they load the nut in the gun too instead of starting them by hand.

 

And that is why I rotate my own tires at home.

 

yup, see that way too often!

 

Alright guys, here's Part 1 of the epicness that took place last night. Just a quick intro, we'll let you all guess at what's to come later tonight for parts 2 and 3...
