brb, putting together a timeline post of this madness we can screenshot and send to F&F. e: the beginning... ExplodingSims posted:So, I've posted about this in the chat thread, but I guess the project's officially rolling, so it deserves its own thread. ExplodingSims posted:So doing some cursory research it looks like a 350 should more or less drop in. The only issue seems to be fiddling with the steering box, but it appears that's easily rectified by drilling out the rivets and shimming it over a bit. Garbage Dick posted:Serious offer pay my way start to finish and i'll ride shotgun with tools. I need no compensaton otherwise. ExplodingSims posted:
Garbage Dick posted:My only hang up is May 12th I have a critical absolutely can not miss appointment for DSHS, so I'm literally wide open up to and after that day. Basically I'm saying get me there and guarantee me getting home, and work rations of Camels and literally any cheap food you'd feel like kicking my way, and in return you buy literally anything all the way up to spitting raw nitro into superchargers and entry into Valhalla itself. ExplodingSims posted:... Garbage Dick posted:hail satan djdanno13 posted:Just throwing this out there in case poo poo, but if Ohio doesn't work out you can have your truck shipped to my place out in northern Nebraska. I have a few tools but word of warning, it's all dirt, no crete. Larrymer posted:But buying everything this truck needs to be road worthy up front may be a little more hard to swallow vs. a one time shipping cost. Multiple plane tickets, getting parts that you don't even know you need yet in a town you're not from? Too many unknowns for me. Garbage Dick posted:You're right, I'll drive the Civic out there instead This is the point I need to switch to the 14" thread for rndmnmbr fucked around with this message at 07:25 on Nov 14, 2016 |

The fall of 14".14" DICK posted:I sold a perfect, amazingly fun to drive, fully functional 2002 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor to fund this financial trainwreck. It's a 1975 Honda Civic with the 1.2L non-CVCC inline 4. (time passes) 14" DICK posted:14" DICK posted:My psych evaluation assessment to find a doctor just took 2 and a half hours and described me as having "a constellation of issues. " 14" DICK posted:I wonder if the Civic will make the trip once the wiring is finished 14" DICK posted:Well the whole existential cock scream thing doesn't necessarily imply any specific fear of the future or being a wounded, beautiful butterfly too afraid to find the healing power of 14" DICK posted:Real talk I write to escape and I'm so sick and loving tired of watching people get burned out of my life by the anger of a birthing star while I have my melt downs because every single one of them try to apply logical and rational solutions to a disease which is known categorically as one that not only can, but will find new and interesting ways to self sabotage and even if the rare loving chance I actually manage to use a support net the loudest voice is screaming to just let it all burn down. I've wasted an entire week on trying to function well enough to manage to not even put half my dash back together, burned two entire full days of work simply trying to glue two pieces of sticky paper down pre cut on it, and having realised what level of the ride I've been on have spent that week explaining to those in the impact crater zone what WILL happen, and how to triage it. So when the full reality of where I have fallen back to hits around midnight in the rain and the full lights and siren diesel run away begin and hysteria and panic manage to over power over a decade of personal work and effort to never allow it to happen again, please remember this. 14" DICK posted:Gremin bought a Jeep. $1000 running driving and tabbed. 14" DICK posted:The truck thing is honestly my carrot on a stick keeping me going right now. I've been unable to walk for a couple days due to hand and foot pain, something aint right. Im done with my theories, my obsessions. Dont know, dont care. Fix me. I'm not healing any more. I still have that foot scab from when I dropped the pen knife blade. I still have that hand scrape from the radiator. I exist in constant physical agony, and I dont care what drugs you do or dont do, they all have their price to pay but they dont drag you from the bumper three miles down a gravel road behind their Powerstroke while hurling empty beer cans and pissing on your human being rear end from the bed.

Part III: Plans, Preparation, and StorytimeExplodingSims posted:WHEN WE LAST LEFT OUR HERO: Rhyno posted:We need a third goon to follow them as support and to document this entire thing. McTinkerson posted:Seat Safety Switch has found the perfect outlet for his unique set of skills. Seat Safety Switch posted:I asked for a roadtrip, and for my sins they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice roadtrip, and when it was over, I never wanted another. Garbage Dick posted:"Sally." Seat Safety Switch posted:They couldn't tell me the American Dream was dead. For starters, nobody could agree what it looked like when it was alive. Maybe at most there were some furtive allusions to material possessions. A big, powerful car. That's one of the only things people could agree on. Everyone wanted more horsepower than the next guy, even if it would destroy them. Jeherrin posted:SSS squinted into the sun, a hand up, trying futilely to mask the diffracted splinters of sun thrown by the dust on the windshield. In front of him, throwing up that very dust, was The Truck. Big; massive, even. Rusty. Or just rust; it was hard to tell. The Truck had a presence about it, a solidity. A density of coalescence, as if rust wasn’t a thing that had happened to it, but a thing that it was. That it embodied and became. Liquid Communism posted:14" was not into serious street-modding, but he was hell on wheels in a shop bay. Any combination of a scrawny white kid and WD-40 is a potentially terminal menace for anything it can reach – but when the alleged kid is in fact a profoundly disturbed flat rate mechanic with no fear at all of anything that rolls on less than six wheels and a de facto suicidal conviction that he will die at the age of 33 – just like Jesus Christ – you have a serious piece of work on your hands. Especially if the bastard is already 33½ years old with a head full of asbestos dust, a loaded air gun in his belt, a sledge-wielding black thumb on his elbow at all times, and a disconcerting habit of projectile vomiting geysers of pure blood off the front porch every 30 or 40 minutes, or whenever his malignant ulcer can't handle any more raw tequila. Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:What the gently caress is going on in here freelop posted:The events of the future surrounding that truck are so powerful it's echoing back through to the present and erupting through the posts of those most effected. 14 BAR RIFF posted:Initiate War Protocol. ExplodingSims posted:A POTENTIAL ENGINE HAS BEEN FOUND rndmnmbr posted:If there was one thing you could absolutely trust 14" to do, it was walk into the mouth of madness and bring something hosed up but functional back out. 14 BAR RIFF posted:So since I don't have to worry about rent, a couple hundred bucks in side jobs will handle the rest of my storage and bills. ExplodingSims posted:Alright, so I guess the 292 is out of the running for replacement motor. ChickenOfTomorrow posted:this is the summer of bad decision road trips on AI and I am 5,000% behind it ExplodingSims posted:The search continues, as somebody apparently does not want to make any money this weekend. ExplodingSims posted:Sir, we have a large, unknown object appearing on the radar! ExplodingSims posted:So, operation Abuse_AAA_Towing_Service to recover RustVan was a critical success! ExplodingSims posted:So, after driving the van around a bit, t seems like this engine might be a bit...underpowered for our applications. However, while I was out driving for work today, I stumbled upon a garage offering a much more suitable option for this truck. Bit of an older motor, and it probably has a few more miles on it than the van does, but looks like it puts out a lot more power.

Part IV: 14" Darkness14" Dick posted:For gooD or for bad, every choice that led me here today was born Purely out of the sole criteria to maintain any kind of functionality to keep a roof over my head. But as it turns out, the deeper you fall from society, the longer it takes that reference signal to reach you in that midnight sea. 14" Dick posted:14" Dick posted:Charge indicator came on solid and re checking and replacing connections as needed didnt correct it. But drat these crimps. 14" Dick posted:14" Dick posted:Lol 14" Dick posted:My struggles with sobriety are absolutely not a question, but it is something I am actively in touch with my social workers over. As far as the body health side of things, I can promise you the never healing nails, among other quantifiable real physical issues, have persisted sober or not since December, become intensly painful, and I have followed doctors care to the letter and it's not unreasonable to only want the pain to stop. Whether or not anything is crawling is incidental, and i can deal with that. The pain, it gets old as gently caress honestly. 14" Dick posted:I managed to turn a group meeting with the topic of faith and forgiveness into discussions of nihilism and Kurt cobain 14" Dick posted:For anyone who ever thinks I either embellish my life or make things up for the internet, here's another entry in my crimeslife.txt. 14" Dick posted:If there's one I know for sure, it's that I couldn't give gently caress all if I were ever considered or even called Normal. I know my story doesnt end here or even in this way. Not to be so bold as to compare myself to the late Hunter S., I take inspiration from him. Getting all twisted sideways and puking onto a keyboard doesn't make you tell the next Dear and Loathing. I meant in the sense that there's always an incredible story out there, it just matters how much you're willing and prepared to pay in order to take the ride. 14" Dick posted:14" Dick posted:Getting both axles, oil pan gasket, inner and outer tie rods, an alignment after, right front caliper replacement, new gearbox and engine oil, new coolant, and some carb tuning. 14" Dick posted:Nearly there. 14" Dick posted:Dear lord, I know we don't always see eye to eye. We don't talk much at all except when I need something. I am not a good friend, and I want to do better. All I ask is that this steering rack bolt inside the subframe channel is merely gunked in with age and not because it was torqued to yield. There are children present, and I really do not want to go to jail for the things I would then be forced to do. Hail Satan, amen. 14" Dick posted:I don't know whether or not I should go back to the instructors who guided and taught me my trace and punch them in the loving mouth for knowing the lies they told and the path they set forth for me, or run sobbing into arms I know will be waiting outstretched and just cry, cry into that comforting embrace because somebody finally understood what I needed most. 14" Dick posted:They told me with a straight face that I'd make good money with a well respected trade in high demand and even spoke praisingly of the opportunities that book time granted to those who were fast and good. They either did so with malice and bitterness in their hearts, or because they knew a cubicle job for me would somehow, somewhere involve the term 'active shooter.' 14" Dick posted:I am done loving around. 14" Dick posted:D14 bomber, call sign Enola Dave, reports fuel supply issues. Top secret mission to bring Trash Man to Truckasaki currently delayed pending repair. 14" Dick posted:Also stone loving sober for anyone keeping track of the loving time I'm that loving mad at this fuckin piece of loving poo poo rat gently caress bitch loving car 14" Dick posted:Now the honda is just not starting despite firing up yesterday to confirm it would, and having fuel and spark 14" Dick posted:New plugs no change cranked with spark until the battery went dead. Cordless impact aldo let the smoke out. 14" Dick posted:Suspected cause of death, leaking crank seal and oil contamination causing stretch. Tensioner appears intact and in place. 14" Dick posted:I mean there's one or two minor things to finish up before I start wondering how to renew my registration, get i5 aligned, sort and pack my tools, wash my laundry, reconnect the heater defroster and cigarette lighter, reinstall my fan after finishing the rewirng, clean my room, get cat supplies, feed the snake, and maybe if theres time clock myself in the dick with a splitting maul a couple times before i hope to leave Tuesday morning 14" Dick posted:No change. Civic still refuses to even stumble. 14" Dick posted:Tomorrow is stop loss day so if I can't get it running tonight tomorrow is vacation homing everybody and preparing to greyhound to Nebraska. 14" Dick posted:Man I love knowing the right people. Granted, he wasn't pleased I interrupted his daughter's wedding for this, but luckily he understood the urgency. Nice guy too, just says I owe him one. 14" Dick posted:REPENT, ALL YE SINNERS.

OxMan posted:So hey update Panaflex posted:I know most are freaking out that 14 is missing the bulk of this but I sincerely believe putting it in the big truck and getting all the fiddly bits to play nice for a long haul to Florida is going to require as many creative minds as possible. We're trying to get 14 on a bus or some other form of transport in the other thread since savior Jeep is causing problems. Is there any clear way already established to get funds to 14?

ExplodingSims posted:Hopefully we can keep up.the pace. everdave posted:We need to convince him to hitch or beg a ride to the nearest greyhound stop.

Rhyno posted:Look I love this dude, he's hilarious and entertaining but he's also very headstrong and will probably think to himself that he can make it there by shear force of will. If we don't gang up on him he's going to push on. Somebody calculate the distance he has to travel back, look up current gas prices along the way, factor in 10mpg and we send him that amount and stop there. angryrobots posted:So I informed him of the logistics and the concern of you all, and it went about like you should expect. ExplodingSims posted:Yeah, I think we're in a bit of a failure state with the truck, because of the clutch ball. (Why does a bellhousing from the 60s have a 13/16-14 threading?) Seminal Flu posted:Is there a possibility of a plot twist, where 14 shows up after you've left to finish up and drive it home? angryrobots posted:I don't think you guys understand just how emotionally committed to this trip 14 is. He's been looking forward to it for months. Leperflesh posted:I'm struggling to understand how anyone in this thread thought that was a less likely scenario a week or a month ago, when the two car options were the (not running) ancient tiny Honda or the (not running) ancient lovely Causemero?

Fermented Tinal posted:Hell was but a distant memory for the old Jeep. It'd been there. It'd done that. It bore the scars of long-forgotten battles fought on freeways across the country and hodge-podge repairs that barely kept it functioning. For a time it had been allowed to rust, perhaps for most suvs this would be the end, but fate had other plans.The cracked windshield rattled as the worn suspension bounced over a minor bump in the road. The driver responded by goosing the throttle, as if to punish the vehicle for daring to speak. 14 INCH posted:exactly 10mpg and 1/2 qt oil loss after 125 mile straight pedal to the firewall WOT everdave posted:Latest from 14.

It was the jeep of a happy man, a jeep that radiated a horrible handsome warmth, a jeep to make water glasses shatter in the hands of tired truck-stop waitresses, to make small children crash their trikes into board fences and then run wailing to their mommies with stake-shaped splinters sticking out of their knees.

I can deliver the package intact and running. West SAAB Story posted:About drat time! Where's our story/monologue? 14 BAR RIFF posted:Working on piecing it together in my mind. Sims said I left Spokane day before yesterday but I literally have no concept of time right now. Im aware of the dawn of a fresh day and a clear mind, but ever since the jet I was actively hallucinating from sleep dep and isolation. I pulled over there and found it because it came to me that for the past half hour, Id been mentally on CA 101S to Monterey to visit my grandmother. She died 6 years ago. The only reason I even realised it was because the tone break in the black sky to night cloud line slowly resolved itself into a massive 3 stack foundry similar to the one at Moss Landing, but on a scale far beyond anything that we would be physically capable of building on Earth let alone with our current technology. Terror filled me that the Mountains of Madness had actually opened, and the Old Ones returned. Then it clicked I needed to pull over and get some coffee. Between the 2 days leading up to my departure from Seattle to arrival last night, across 4 days there was probably no more than 10 hours of sleep total simply trying to get a vehicle alive enough to make it. The Jeep has a swank rear end new radio in it, aux in, usb, all the colors, etc. It also had all the speakers taken out, presumably scavenged for the Gremlin/ So since the moment I left Seattle, all i had to keep me company was the sound of my own inner voice and things got a bit recursive there for a while. poo poo was terrifying. But the Jeep has earned its place in my stable, having had me actively trying to grenade the motor since the moment I hit Montana and the rage took over. Ive ordered the front and rear Dorman vacuum assemblies from the Napa in town, and now need to figure out how to get the cash my parents sent me because there isnt a single bank of america in state and the closest Walmart is a 2 hour drive. Jeep reeks strongly of gas and now appears 2qt overfull despite it being low last night so Im sure there cant possibly be any injectors leaking. everdave posted:14 BAR RIFF posted:Id also like to point out that while Im sure it was posted here and I missed it, i thought the dump truck was a "dump" truck stake bed.

The joys of living out in the middle of nowhere. 14 was eyeing that fastback really hard yesterday morning. Maybe, air-cooled dump truck in the future? I'm joking. Came back to the house, 14 refuses to sleep indoors electing to use his jeep for shelter. Went to bed last night hoping I don't find the body of 14 stiff from rigor mortis due to exposure or crushed under an engine block or worse, trapped by an engine block and then finished off by roving coyotes. Wake up to go to work and see new graffiti is on the side of the van. He's probably okay. Tomarse posted:I picture 14" at the moment kind of like the little stray cat that keeps coming round my house. Sometimes it smells a bit funny and has got oil on its face from being under cars and it has a slightly weird miaow. But I always give it some food and a drink and we talk and chill for a bit and then both go our own ways for a while because we both like our own space. I let it stay in longer when its cold or wet and sometimes it sleeps on the sofa. Seminal Flu posted:djdanno is going to have a tame Firestone mechanic chained up in the back yard. Some say he almost killed a 4.0 Jeep. Others have mentioned his proclivity to summon dark powers. All we know is that he's called 14. djdanno13 posted:Lol I have offered him the house.

Bought it on my principle of the less they spend on packaging and more they spend telling you how dangerous it is and I've never smelled anything like it. Literally like a cat box. Also it seems to go on sticky and doesn't just run off.

Like you could see it dripping out as the car was running. Honestly it was almost a miracle it didn't burst into flames somewhere over the Rockies. Anyways Dave was rightfully skeezed out by this and that was the main reason he was driving the Jimmy so he could get parts for the jeep. One regulator later and the problem was fixed.... at the regulator. This caused more pressure further down the rail where there was another leak, but one not as apparent as the first one. Eventually gas and hot engine does what it always does and poof!

Now you need to rip the guts out of the burned out jeep and replace it with the largest V8 you can find, and get some sort of forced induction and nitrous. Then the jeep will live again

Something tells me that even if Fury Road hadn't come out, he would still look like this. We need to send him to Wasteland Weekend once this whole thing is done.

Snack attack pack is en route. Estimated arrival date is the 17th. I put some smokes, surprise snacks, and two very important items in the box. One you will look at and say "oh what the gently caress is this poo poo." Keep it if you want, but if you decide to discard it, I ask that you kindly leave it in the shitter at a Denny's or a rest stop for someone else to find. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get it. The other, though... ...you'll know what to do.

There's a tire store here in town. We've been holding off on tires till we get the truck moving under its own power since, worst case scenario, having a grands worth of rubber rotting for a year is not very prudent.

I don't think you should set anything on fire on purpose. Or at least, not much.

Spiders was my first thought too, but that doesn't take a week to deal with. I'm thinking something needs to be welded.

Well, you've already burned one car to the ground, maybe another won't hurt.

Look IF fire is needed which I think now it actually won't be, the least I can do is wait for Danno to be home and not worrying
