Official post whore thread!!!

We had one of those at Camp Lejeune. It was great to take the TB there for an oil change on the lift versus crawling around on my garage floor.

Figured if I can start to there, i'd get it up on a lift, spray some degreaser underneath it and wipe it all down. Maybe do a cat-delete and eventually get her over to the paint booth so I can paint and plasti-dip without having to worry about nosey neighbors or wind & dust particles

Do they also supply tools or do you need to bring your own?

Nice. You cannot beat that.

I once helped my bud fix an exhaust leak on his Ram, and practiced a little welding on some scrap metal that was lying around in their odd-parts pickup outside

Gotta start somewhere. I have messed around with some Mig and Tig welding at work. Wish I had one at home.

I really wanna learn more, i'd like to be able to do my own exhaust work and experiment a bit

 

[Sparky]

I'm thinking with a little work I may be able to put a lift in my garage at my house

Wouldn't happen for a long time but it would be worth it if it can be done!

 

[Capote]

That'd be badass Sparky

 

[dmanns67]

Someone posted on here a portable that they rolled right under the vehicle. I think it was around $1500.

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Ironically my buddy has a mig I can buy from him

 

[dmanns67]

You never know when you can use a welder.

I'm probably gonna buy it specifically for building a bumper for the tb.

 

[dmanns67]

That would be cheaper to do the work yourself.

Don't forget to post pics during and after your bumper project

There's never enough projects david

 

[dmanns67]

True. Gotta finish what you start. Plus Chris has a money tree in his backyard, he has yet to mail me some seeds

lmao, wish I had a money tree or some seedlings from it, then I can get a new paintjob and do a 5.3 swap

 

[dmanns67]

Yeah. I would keep my TB as my DD and get a TBSS and make it a 10 second garage princess

Oh lord I wish I had a TBSS, but as much as i'd love one i'd never trade my current TB in for it. I like it too much to part with it.

 

[dmanns67]

Yeah me either. My TB has been great the last six years, hope to still have it for another six years.

Only thing that has ever been an issue with mine was that coil pack a few feeks ago and my alternator probably having to be replaced soon Think i've had mine 2yrs now

 

[dmanns67]

I have had to replace the typically high failure items so far, but nothing major (knock in wood)

So pretty much the things that MAY03LT had in that one video of his, the stuff he always has in his emergency kit?

 

[dmanns67]

Like the fan clutch, water pump, t-stat, ECT sensor, etc. Some guys keep a spare coil in their truck. I think most people's emergency kit is based on things they have needed when something happened. Mine is at least.

Hey! It don't help that strays find me and the gf allows me to keep them!

True. Gotta finish what you start. Plus Chris has a money tree in his backyard, he has yet to mail me some seeds

Waiting on a new harvest myself

 

[Capote]

I plan on ordering another coil pack just in-case another one goes bad

 

[dmanns67]

That might be a good idea.

Said gf is actually buying a vintage snowmobile that I have had my eye on as my Xmas gift lol

Dude that thing reminds me of all the ski slope / alps chase scenes in the 80's James Bond films

 

[dmanns67]

I am sure you guys up North need those to get around in the winter.

 

[Darkrider_LS]

I'm also looking at getting an early model Polaris Indy 600 from the same buddy who's shop I used today.

 

[dmanns67]

Do it.
