Re: The Colorado BS thread
Posted earlier for Jim and realized I haven't been on hardly at all.
But I'm still around. For those that dont know. We are expecting our first kid in about 4 weeks. So that's pretty exciting. Haven't been wheeling in about a year... I'm slacking. Lol.
Anyway. Hope everyone is doing good. Gonna try to get on more often.

Went to parts yard to get a d30 for my brothers new XJ had 2 hrs get it out the door ...lol...took 30 minutes to find the right year as they had a few 2000 models with low pinion and a few old ones with cad and only two donors of non cad high pinion of the two only one they did not stack the axle tube on rims to support it , since you can't bring stands and Jack's in getting the axle off the rims with a bottle Jack out of the jeep would be fun ... Got it mostly off and needed a few different wrenches to bite on uca bolts to free them so quick clean up to go back out to my truck to grab more tools without greasing up my Dodge ...lol...I managed to get the last bolt off and to front desk with that d30 just at closing ...forgot to pull off the driver caliper/rotor so got dinged for that ...wish I could load a full dress 60 myself like a d30 ...now I got to pull the busted one put this one in . Got both the stocker and my XJ next to each other in the storage lot...lol...man my XJ looked normal to me the 44's don't seem big ...lol..until I put the stocker next to it ...lol...makes the stock XJ look like a kids hot wheels toy .

Aftet fixing my trucks fender after eating a tree I want to move to the c-pillar dent back side I got most of the dent out could do better but don't want to weld to it b/c it may cause rust on backside so it's time to sand to metal and mix up some evercoat ...lol...but I'm undecided as to try a spot repair using a blender to hide the edges if the new clear against old or 're clear the entire c-pillar ,which i'm not sure the 3-4 Inches between cab/bed will be enough to get pillar/cab corner ...without sliding the bed back...lol...worried bolts will not come easy hence the thoughts of spot clear blending which I'm not sure the life on that .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
So, the job site I was on yesterday, and am in again today, was covered in river rock. Cool. Works great. Keeps my tires clean and site dry.
However.
Today I found out instead of using road base, they put clay under the rock.
Clay.
I weight 112k currently.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

Re: The Colorado BS thread
Been working on the shop...coming along bit by bit.
The previous owner was an older gentlemen. He really liked screws...why put in two when you can put in 10?
He was the definition of using 10 different thing to make shelves, etc.
Ripping stuff out has (mostly done now) been an adventure. He also really liked pegboard.
So I stripped the walls down to the bare 2x6 cross studs.
I'll have a build thread sometime, as I'm going above an beyond when it comes to doing this :laugh:
Let's just say hoisting some of this stuff up there, by myself...gets interesting

I-70 between golden and Morrison and evergreen are good examples Lazy meets stupid when it comes to the stuck truck drivers...because the stupid lazy ones were too lazy to chain as required by law and yet too stupid to just park it and call it a day ...I'm a driver but nothing makes me want to lynch a driver more than getting stuck behind him b/c he spun out due to not chaining .
