Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

Oren Anderson, he used to be the co-driver for Casey Currie. Awesome dude.

I saw one of those competitors driving home the other day. Mud covered Jeep and a sticker covered Canoe on top!

I need them. And blkjak’s holster. And the trex for the windshield.
And I need Chris to come buy some takeoffs so I can buy more Jeep parts.

I watched that "It" movie last night cuz of something someone posted yesterday. I'm usually not a horror genre fan but I enjoyed that one.

New one or old one? As good as Bill Skarsgård was in the new one, you still can't beat Tim Curry.

Looks like the long arm of the law has finally caught up with me:

Local Cops, from the town of Local, in your state...

Morning y’all! 2 days more of “Freedom” before students start showing up. Architects are showing up today or tomorrow to discuss our ideas of what we want in our new career center for the film class. Of course I’m a very visual person so I already made a 3D model The same architects made CCE in 2010 so I used the same floor space and adjusted the rooms a bit. Our current DJCC building was made in 1985.

Good morning Jeeples!

Hey Jake!

Just the evil gremlin that we have to keep locked up in a room

Good morning, peeps!

Ace sliders installed on Saturday. Took about an hour and a half. The most frustrating, "wtf is this?"- , "why won't you move"- , "oh, no you didn't..."-, "Oh you mo[censored]"- 6 bolt-job ever.

Conclusions / lessons learned:
- Doing it alone is not impossible, but is definitely for masochists. I used a floor jack with a piece of plywood to raise the sliders - you only need to get them to the point where the bolts are back in - after that it's a breeze.
- Definitely read the thread regarding installation, it's just 6 bolts, but ... ugh.
- Ryobi 1/2 in impact gun is better used on wood projects
- 24 in breaker bar is definitely a good tool to have. A 240lb gorilla can do it with a 15 in bar, but it would be much easier with a 24 in one.
- If I had to do it again, I'd do it outside of my garage in the rain, rather rolling on the floor of humid, hot box.
- Did I mention that I need to re-do the whole wiring and lighting in my garage? I did? Well, let me mention it again.
- The sliders clear rubi rails by about 1/16 - 1/32. At first I thought they would rub, but after tightening the bolts, I was able to push a piece of paper in between the slider and the rail. Nice job, Ace.
- May need to re-think the exit procedure - I got used to just stepping out, but now I end up contacting the slider with my calf - doesn't bother me a bit, but if wearing business attire on a muddy day - that will leave a mark
- Will probably get a roll of anti-slip tape and put on the top.

On the plus side:
- These things are solid
- My better half looked at the sliders and said "they look like they were there all along"
- It's definitely easier to access the roof now (I have racks) - will be much easier to ratchet down materials during trips to Homeless Despot
- My older dog appeared to be grateful for the extra step when getting in (that didn't last long - I had to put a cone of shame on her bcs she's licking her paw non-stop)
- I think the sliders will work as highway pegs - will test just as soon as the rains stop (so... next summer?)

Will post pics soon - forgot to take them.

We didn’t make it far. But it’s great to get out even for a short ride.

Poor Road King. Going to take some miles to repair that betrayal.

How do you think my bike feels?

 

[Lurvis33]

Oh yea, I almost forgot! I found a bike for ya @obwahn

 

[Sean L]

It was refreshing to ride. Zoom zoom!

This was entertaining Tim! Now a quick question. Do you think the sliders will help at all with rocks flying from the front tires? Not that this has ever happened with Wrikki. bwahaahahaahahahahaha
