Wyoming B.S. Thread

Did you make sure it was the right height and all? Looks good. Not sure it was needed or not..

 

They are definitely needed, you can see in Mike's last photo above that only about half the bumpstop was contacting the strike plate. This is largely due to the LCA's being maxed out for caster, but that's pretty much a necessity too.

 

Deer just decided to put his head through my passenger window @70 to say hi. Glad it wasn't the front, could of been a bad day.

 

Looks like you need a new bed/ bedside anyway.

that sucks though.

 

Dang man, that sucks. Not a good week for our yotas. That's three now with @BabyTaco

 

Dang, we are getting beat up! Made it out fine but the truck is a goner. Probably going to use the insurance money swap BabyT’s engine since we just bought Lizzy a new RAV4.

 

Awww man! Bummer.

Holy fuck dude. What happened?? Glad your okay.

Shit happens in threes.

I went to Billings last night in the middle of the blizzard. Jesus sketchy. Truckers man.

 

Were they going 100 mph and passing you in the storm? Hate that...

 

Yeah I mean I was going 60-65 but they were going 80 still. Every time they pass you kicks up so much shit almost blows you off the road. Can see anything. Praying to God someone doesn't slam into you from behind as you slowed down hoping you wouldn't drive off the road. Good times.

 

Every time I drive through WY after a storm haha

 

I80 is bad through there for sure.

 

Lucky I don’t have to take that one either.

I hate freeways.

 

Lizzy doesn't seem quite as excited as you...

Glad you both are ok! Road looks slick!

 

The roads were clear until I hit that section (just had to be a curve). It was so dark that I couldn’t tell until the back end swung out, flew into the ditch, rolled, slide along the hillside and then back into the road where the truck stopped. I wasn’t going fast but apparently I could have drove slower.

It looks bad but it wasn’t a horrible experience. Remained calm the whole time, crawled out by myself and flagged the next guy down. Just wish I could have kept the truck .

 

Fixed enough to keep driving. Probably flatbed time anyway make it a work truck full time

 

Sorry to hear about the rig. Glad to see you guys came out of it unscathed.

 

well shit dude. Shoulda had better tires it looks like haha

Glad you're okay. Now maybe BabyT will be the beast again

Lol i love it. I think it's a sign you just need to paint the new double cab purple too. it's your true color. Even your logo has it. Every truck has to have some purple on it haha

 

Anyone have a WY Lion tag

 

Made a little progress today with getting the redhead back on the road. Got the all the trans cabling fully secured and some of the new suspension pieces started. New oTREs and LBJs are ready for tomorrow. Also installed the new trans dipstick bracket that Dan designed.




.
The extension bracket, along with slightly bending the dipstick tube allowed the tube to run outside of the headers.

 

Got her today
