All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.


That's a sight for sore eyes. Very nice.

Sims, you said you ordered innertubes, but what about the tires themselves? Are you just going to eat the cost from the local shop or did you buy that set off ebay?

Well the set off ebay got sold out from under me, but there's another place in state that can ship them for about the same cost.

So as soon as I get the green light from Dave they'll be ordered.

It's really amazing what just getting away and having something to do does for a person. Even before I left I was in a bit of a funk in general, but once I set out, once I got out there, I felt so much better. Just having something outside of work to focus on I guess.

But I'm glad it's helped you out too.

Broken truck fixes broken people indeed. :)

Please tell me you left the third steering box bolt out to gently caress with us :ohdear:

I will turn a blind eye to all manner of horrible poo poo, but suspension, brakes, and steering are always functional even on the shittiest of my hoopties...

A bolt doesn't go there. There was a factory optional thread-in PEZ dispenser in that boss that this truck was not originally equipped with.

Yeah, let's go ahead and make that a rhetorical question.

By the time this thing gets through Florida we may not have to source any at all. 14" may become the next "Florida Man [insert bizarre situation here]".

As long as they patch up the hole in the firewall he should be fine.

Also was wondering, does it have a functional heater?

He has to make it there first lol. In the winter it really doesn't start getting all that warm in FL until you're halfway down the state :v:

It did cross my mind what was going to keep the windscreen defrosted, but at this point it's basically an open station cab and probably wouldn't matter.

Serious answer: I think they overlaid two or three truck horn sets at different chords to make a harmonic tone. You effectively need, like, 9 horns to replicate it.
