Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

If anyone has a half hour to kill:

Some of us have jobs......

(I'm not implying we work)​

Only that people expect us to be places for a certain period of the day.

 

It’s always funny when places are like you gotta be in the office so we know you are working

 

The brick wall behind my press console is painted white.....

I put a word in awhile ago about a projector t.v....
I'd just stream from my phone and wear my earbuds...still haven't heard anything back about that.

 

I used to have a white spray booth-the 8th graders lost their ever flucking minds this morning!

 

Took these last two days off to be productive......kinda was today.

Managed to vacuum out the entire truck cause my kiddo loves snacks that crumble into the finest of powders.....

Replacement tire came in to Discount Tire yesterday and got installed this morning.

Had to remind the kid at the counter I had the warranty certificates. Tried charging me a little over $300 the first time

Still ended up paying for labor, new certificate , and related charges ($94). All that to get my full size spare swapped and the new tire installed to make sure both front tires were "new". Still a lot cheaper than two brand new tires with no warranty.


Apparently plugging the tire yourself makes it eligible for replacement because they can't warranty work not done by them. Totally understandable.

Apart from the newbie, I can't recommend them enough. They gave me some cards with $50 off for anyone that's interested or getting new tires soon.

 

First it's your spray booth. Next it will railroad cars.

 

When they come in tomorrow hand each one, acetone, rubber gloves & a rag, tell them to clean it all up till its white again.

 

On mod day I learned Sugar Free Monster works well for taking fluid film off your hands.

Put a can or two of Ultra Blue Hawaiian in a spray bottle and you'll probably have yourself a nice degreaser.

​

 

Glass cleaner works good on anti- seize

 

Probably a better use than drinking it.

 

Those new UCA's propped my front back up. (Standing proud)
Sitting at 2" all around again.

Glad I didn't pull the front shocks and adjust the setting.

 

I haven't heard anything bad about the 2 suspensions that were installed on mod day.

I'm taking it as everything is all good. No bolts came loose or parts falling off.....

 

Nothing like that. Ride is good. I do hear a slight clunk when I accelerate after coasting though.

 

I like mystery clunks.
Can you tell where it's coming from?

I would guess front lower shock bolt, a swaybar link or carrier bearing--->might not have been noticeable before changing driveshaft angles.
Did you put the cb drop spacer in?

When this happens to me, I'm back under there retorquing everything.

 

Kinda seems like it's in the rear half. I plan to retorque, do an oil change, straighten and re-install skid plates and wiggle all the rotational stuff this weekend.

 

Rich probably forgot to give a bolt an extra dugga.

 

Coulda been me.

Probably was.

 

Could of been my fault for not being a good adviser. I was busy holding up a jack handle, or I was on my union break.
