Cummins Built Not Bought/The Life of Frankie.

Stopping is always more important than getting it rolling IMHO. Good decision to just get it done.

I’ve already decided to change out everything on this rig. Not much left to go, but the last couple things going to wait. Hope that’s not the crap to fail here shortly

Well I was at work at 4 this morning to clean up. Everything loaded in truck to head home, lot less in the bed then headed down here.
she looks a little better then a few weeks ago during paint. Officially she is legal to drive finally with belts and seats in. That’s a first. 11 days and counting till she gets loaded for the woods. 2 more appointments this week and one next. Damn...

Omg I’d like to be done. My wife just said she wants to get me the Dory sticker for the truck. Told me to just keep swimming after I lost my s*** a bit in an episode this weekend. Told her I’d put it on.

Going in. So far everything looks good, think it just had some debris in the calipers or caliper wasn’t sliding good enough. Fixing.

Truck’s sitting across the street getting alignment and tires. Dropped it a couple hours ago and was told no problem by now. Well there’s a problem, the are having to torch the tie rods to get them loose amongst a few other things. Will be a bit.
Saw the sweat rolling down the tech’s face, although I I feel a little bad and totally understand the frustration I’m glad it not me this time.
I’ll just chill out with my Coors Light and rest for a minute😉
Cheers.

Is there an old digital watch epoxied into that table? 😆

Ya. All kids of stuff. Every table and bar is like that here.

 

[CumminsPusher]

She aligned and was told everything looks good. Had them do a once over and was told nothing was needed anytime soon mechanically. I tend to take peoples word seldomly but it’s nice to hear from someone trying to make money off you that all is good.
This thing drives damn f***ing good! Hand off wheel rolls straight, no rattles or anything weird. f*** ya! Only issue is the rear end still and getting fixed.
I know everyone has their hard minded choice of tires, so do I. After 3 sets with good luck Including my first 1st gen, I went with Yokohama Geolanders. Tall and skinny cause I live in snow county and not completely dumb lol.
finally got 6 wheels! Installing a couple of the wheel simulators now. Getting there!
