[Dingman.]

[Dingman.]

Well i got popped for no flaps today so im gonna be fabbing up some real soon.

[P-DiseToy24]

Seriously you got a ticket for no mud flats... I drove my junk around like it is with no flats for 6 months didnt get popped once  They are usually pretty easy goin around these parts.

Yea man ive driven my truck down to butte for about 3yrs now and never had a problem until now.

i got a mudflap ticket 3 days ago.  it was the last day my rig was guna b on the road for a while too.  oh well, i already started fabbing up some mud flaps that are easy to take off. 

Sucks don't it??    Im glad the chp around here are hanging around the school busting kids going to college

CHP or sheriff?   

[86bobbedtoy]

they are hurting for money right now.
its not the mudflap thing as much as an excuse to get you pulled over.
there praying you dont have a lisc. or ins.
there both over 1000 tickets.
sucks tho, wish they would focus on things a lil more important.

Im about to get another rig but hate getting harassed.

oroville police, dont know why he was headed up clark, must have had better things to do than pull me over i guess.

[Dingman.]

yea i got popped by chp... 

So i need to get these things fabbed up and ready to go so i can get this signed off and taken care of..

So i got some new mods done to my stereo system..  Much better now....  lol

[Dingman.]

So ran into something else.. 
Broke my lockrite.  As in it doesn't unlock anymore.  Anyone else run into this problem?  Pretty sure i broke the sheer pins, which is a common problem.  ANyways.  Good/Bad idea to drive on it like this for a while?

HOnestly id rather have a spool but don't have the time nor money to install one right now.

[Dingman.]

So i listened to what people where telling me about particals being in the diff which could break the gears.  So I decided to just pull the diff, remove the locker and weld it up.

Just got the diff out.  Too late though,  Ring gear is already shot..  

Anyone got a cheap 5.29?

What brand are your gears?

[Dingman.]

Yukon 5.29's..

New as of november..

No damage to pinion..  Only one ring gear tooth sheered off.  No particles from the locker floating around.  I wonder if it was just a defective ring gear???

Go buy a set of gears that have a lifetime warranty like Genuine Gear or something like that. Saves you money in the long run.

Damn mike thats a lot of bad luck all at once.... Sounds like my luck, horrible.

Think itll be ready for a highlakes trip next (the 26th) weekend? Im hopefulyl goin up to just mash around a little in my runner and just make sure nothing chunders before I go to the con the weekend after

[808]

i told you last week might you keep mashin on it as hard as you do and something back there is gonna break.

you and that 3.4, need to settle down on the roads. racing mini vans and whatnot

[lilbuddy]

racing mini vans and whatnot

Most minivans fully get it

[P-DiseToy24]

yeah man its not a damn nascar  

[Thomas P]

runners are nearly minivans arent they?  

[Dingman.]

I keep those mini vans in place.. lol

Dude im getting so sick of this truck..  Im tempted to get rid of it.

I broke my fawking lockright pulling into thomas's driveway, coasting in neutral..  
So i pulled my diff to pull out the locker and found the broken tooth..

So now i got a 4.10 in the back, which BLOWS.....

[P-DiseToy24]

That sucks you should let me borrow that 3rd with the 5'29s for moon rocks in 2 weeks just as a spare.

[Dingman.]

I want to have new gears by then..

If i don't you can take it for a spare..

[Dingman.]

So got a letter in the mail...

Fix it tickets in Commyfornia are $25 PER violation..

Yes thats right i get to pay $50 for no flaps and no front plate..
Take care of your stuff too people..

[84t0y]

your luck just keeps getting better. , but he didnt get you for no licence plate light or back up lights or rear bumper or cracked windshield? maybe you are luckier than you think.

Yeah they just raised the fees recently too. My first mudflap ticket was only like 12 or 15 bucks, second one was 25

[lilbuddy]

If u plan to take the body lift off then do it first so you dont have to cut off the sliders and reweld

Haha....

Fully going to be the case

[808]

yeah or if im to lazy ill just be stuck with it and never have to take it off. which is kinda what im shootin for.

[P-DiseToy24]

Lower that thing man I wish I could take my  body lift off but like mike was sayin my whole cage and everything is built around my lift.

[Dingman.]

Well kc..  im planning on sending out my R& P tomorrow to get warrantied, i was just gonna hold off on sending it out cause i thought moonrocks was this weekend. , so unfortunately that wont be available for a spare.

[P-DiseToy24]

damn that sucks I might need those haha

[Dingman.]

So i bought a welded diff and threw it in..

I prefer it compared to the lockright out back..  With the lockright, it got pretty unpredictable sometimes..  For example.. around turns or sometimes while shifting it would unlock and feel a little squirly in the back.


I can tell you right now.. the additional tire wear with the welded diff won't make me happy.. lol..



I can't wait to go to the chp office to get my fix it tickets signed off and squeak out of the parking lot...  that will be fun..
